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!

Black and White Hallway Gallery Wall

Spruce up your boring hallway with this Black and White Hallway Gallery Wall using personal pictures and wireless sconces!

I want to add more personal photos to our home but I also want to be really intentional about it. I still want to maintain the overall aesthetic of our home but find a way to add more pictures of the kids and our favorite memories.

Spruce up your boring hallway with this Black and White Hallway Gallery Wall using personal pictures and wireless sconces!

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!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
