Planning my Gallery Wall

When I finally get my own place, I NEED a gallery wall. Gallery walls are everywhere I look lately, and I'm taking that as a sign. I absolutely love the eclectic, pieced-together-over-time look that it creates, and the injection of personality it can add to any wall. Although a gallery wall is definitely not a new idea, it's one I just can't ignore. I thought I'd share with you some spaces I love, some of the pieces I have already collected for my future wall, and some pieces I have my eye on.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx183Azd5rY6TBmj4oMrgAlpJ6Y2Nu0NYoGxHpTU57N4-xsGmKT_Lp5KypeKbKoSr-nF4oHyz6V3BlYGItE8tilh5GnnotlcbvaeV5poeK4lhqUal0hYuwXGYguba7uZxiLLngBFMQNA/s1600/gallery+wall+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx183Azd5rY6TBmj4oMrgAlpJ6Y2Nu0NYoGxHpTU57N4-xsGmKT_Lp5KypeKbKoSr-nF4oHyz6V3BlYGItE8tilh5GnnotlcbvaeV5poeK4lhqUal0hYuwXGYguba7uZxiLLngBFMQNA/s1600/gallery+wall+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image via <a href="http://www.stylebyemilyhenderson.com/portfolio/single-gallery/9181450" target="_blank">Style by Emily Henderson</a></td></tr></tbody></table>^ Emily Henderson is one of my favourite designers.

It captures the beauty of Nova Scotia's Peggy's Cove. My boyfriend goes to school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On a recent trip to visit him we spent the day exploring the Cove. It's so breathtaking! I got this print and am saving it for my gallery wall. Oh the memories! Also needs a good frame.
