I’m squeezing in one last DIY project of 2020! I’ve had this makeover on my list for a LONG time and I’m so excited to finally tackle it! It’s another one of those spaces that almost everyone has, and don’t always think about doing something with. But once you do you wonder what took you so long? Our upstairs is one long hallway, one boring beige hallways. I thought it was time to spruce it up a bit and I am in love with how it turned out. I’m sharing the full reveal of our black and white hallway gallery wall today, you don’t want to miss out on a big tip for hanging pictures!

Creating this gallery wall down the hallway to all the bedrooms was the perfect place to add some of my favorite photos fo 2020 and make it a little less boring. The love the contrast of the black and white, it feels modern yet classic at the same time.

So let’s dive in a little more to the details and how I put this together.

Tips For Creating A Hallway Gallery

Supplies

  • Level Art Tool from National Hardware
  • Picture Hanging Kit From National Hardware
  • 20X28″ Pictures Frames
  • Wireless Display Sconces

Before Hallway

This is how the hallway looked before! It was a big beige box. So boring! Just waiting to be decorated.

In February I gave the ceiling and walls a nice coat of white paint to match the rest of the house. That feels like years ago at this point, but it instantly felt so much brighter. Just took me a little longer to get to the decorating!

Tips For Hanging Pictures

Ok do you guys want in on my newest secret for hanging pictures? This Level Art Tool from National Hardware is honestly one of the coolest ‘toys’ I’ve used lately. I will be honest I was a little skeptical at first to see how this worked and if the nails would be secure. I was blown away.

This tool has a built in level and also comes with nails to hang your pictures. You simply insert the nails in the small holes on the back, center it and make sure it’s level, and give those buttons one hard push. Seriously, this tool is the only thing you need to hang photos on your wall. Ok, maybe a measuring tape. But that’s it!

The nails go in really tight and at a great angle to insure they go into the drywall securely. It says each nail can hold up to 5 lbs, my pictures weigh 4 lbs (yes, I weighed them), and I used two nails. They feel secure and so far the nails haven’t slipped at all.

You can also use this awesome Picture Hanging Kit from National Hardware to hanging your pictures if they don’t have proper hanging gear on the back.

To finish off the look, I added some wireless sconces! These are AMAZING!

Here is a quick video of the install!

They are so close but different. I’ll be doing our windows and gutters in black. Trying to decide which one works best with our stone!

When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between our bedroom and bathroom. So we  decided to install a modern barn door over the large opening to be able to block it off. Practical and adds dimension!

I love that each of our kids have requested a read I love that each of our kids have requested a reading corner from in their rooms. While they don’t always read here, it’s always nice to walk in and find them relaxing, playing on games or electronics and feeling like they have a space of their own that they helped create! And I must say, I’ve spent some time in this chair while we do homeschool and it’s pretty cozy!

Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing how much this section of our family room has changed this year and also with just three changes. I took out the carpet and installed hardwoods, did a German Schmear on the stone and covered our existing mantel! That’s it! It’s crazy how much it changed the look. Ok, and we moved the tv to the wall and replaced it with a mirror, so four changes 😉.

I’ve been working on the small finishing details I’ve been working on the small finishing details in this room all week, the things I put off doing forever and honestly really have no patience for 😂 but they have to get done. Like adding quarter round, wood filler, caulking, and making things looks more polished. It’s not very exciting but necessary! Hoping to get starting on some new stuff soon!

Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box in my stories every Friday night?! If you ever need a link or have a question about a space, product or just general question for me, this is the best time to ask! Sometimes it’s hard to see every question in comments (especially if they are on older posts) and IG really needs to update the messaging system so it’s easier to organize 😅. Just wanted to share that here in case you haven’t seen it!
