Our hall and adding a gallery wall (in partnership with Snapfish)

Since the beginning of January I have been really focusing on making our house feel like home. Though I do have to say from the day we moved in it's felt that way but now I am adding all the homely touches.

With the house being a new build and painted white I am conscious of how it may feel too clinical, so have been adding colour or prints to the wall where possible.

What I believe really helps a home carry the story of a family is the pictures that are displayed and that's exactly what I wanted in our hall. A little nod to the journey that's brought about the family of 4 (5 with Lily obviously 😉) that we are today.

I have managed to straighten them from this picture.

With a cable hanging down the centre of the wall, having a wall light above my gallery wall seemed perfect. I ordered my light to find that the cable was infact for a door bell.

Lots of ladies over on my Instagram shared the idea of putting the light up without wiring it and adding in a remote LED light light like here so that's what I decided to do.

I ordered my photos straight off my phone on the Snapfish app. The hardest part was choosing only 10 images as there's so many I loved.

For consistency across all images I changed them to black and white on the app. The images were ordered and delivered in 5 days with the standard delivery and are high quality. The app will tell you if the size you are ordering will reduce the print image quality.

I bought grey frames to compliment the black and white pictures and also as I have some black and grey metals in the hall. I choose these frames here.

For planning the gallery wall I laid the images out on the floor and took a picture of them to compare. I didn't want a perfectly matching gallery so went for different sized frames.

Colin used small nails and hooks to put up the frames in the order I laid out. I think with a gallery wall unless you are spending hours measuring with detailed formulas for the distances of hooks in the frames then they will always be a little off. I am putting it down to adding a touch of character. We aren't that over analysing couple and tend to do things quicker or 'on a whim'. I know people that have had the frames for ages and don't put them up incase they don't get them straight. Just fill the wall in and redo.
