DIY Gallery Wall With Old Family Pictures #DIY

Ever since we started having kids 10 years ago, we have taken family pictures each year. Every year we would take a picture, I would display it in our living room proudly. Some of those pictures are my favorite pictures ever, but when it was time to get new pictures (either adding a new kid or wanted a new one for Christmas pictures) I would take down the pictures and put them away. I loved the new pictures, but was sad that we weren't going to see the old pictures. So when we moved into our house with a huge wall in our entry way, I decided that it was time to display the old pictures proudly. My kids love looking at themselves growing up and we have room to add more each year.

I made all the frames with 1x4 wood. I cut the wood to fit a 11x14 picture. I cut 45 degree angles for the corners.

Here is how the wood looks cut. We nailed the four pieces together with a nail gun.

I painted all of the frames white with some brown marks.

Then I put in all of our pictures.

Then we nailed the frames onto the wall.

And that's it!! Here is what it looks like in our entry wall. I love it! For more details, dimension and step by step instructions, check out my blog post.
