Dorm Gallery Wall

Earlier this semester I posted an Instagram (shown further down in the post) of me in our dorm kitchen with a can of gold spray paint… and that’s how this all began.

Ever since I was little, I’ve had a fondness for gallery style walls in other people’s homes. Whether they’re made of art, family photos, or a mixture of both, I’ve always loved looking at them and contemplating what I would put in my own! This semester I decided that I wanted to create my own mini gallery wall above my bed. I painted a bunch of canvases and printed pictures out from Tumblr and Pinterest, picked my favorites, and then got to the process of arranging everything. I also picked up some basic frames from Michael’s, painted them white and put in the pictures. I spent a really long time arranging everything, and yes, I got out a ruler to make sure certain parts were spaced just right. What can I say? If you’re going to do something, do it right! I absolutely love how the wall turned out and I think it adds a nice personalization to my side of the room.
