{Gallery Wrap Canvas Wall Display!}

Oh my lonely, boring, creamy white walls are no longer bare. I've been working on this project since late March and a couple of weeks ago it was finally complete! I've had too much going on to post it sooner (not that I have time now... sorry to my clients who are waiting on their galleries to be posted, sneak peeks to be blogged and orders to be packaged - I just needed a tiny break and decided to quickly pop these up here on my blog - then back to work on all the important things you're waiting on.) ;-)
The walls in my entry way are two stories tall and about 18 feet wide and were just screaming for some visual attention and appeal. I couldn't decide on a black & white display or a color display since some images just scream for color and others beg to be a classic black and white. So I did both and mixed it up! I didn't want the images to be lined up perfectly - I wanted more of an abstract, non-linear display so I did some staggering (this will also allow me to add to the gallery if I decide to in the future without feeling restricted to one specific size). The sizes vary from 16x20's to 30x40's. Excuse the images - I'm used to photographing people and not the interiors of homes - the color looks a bit crazy on the images but in reality it's a bit more tame and tolerable {wink} ).

The display looks fabulous. Care to care the vendor? The canvasses look like great quality.

um...just to let you know, the top left one is crooked. :P O please, this is so Inspirational. I want to become that.

Kara May said...

Thanks guys!! You're the best!! Tyler, the picture I took of the gallery is pretty bad and the lens is a wide angle that distorts things a bit :( SO in reality the pictures are level (my husband is anal and used his level on every picture;) ). I should've taken a better photo of this since it does look crooked in the picture I posted. Thanks for your comments :)

You finally got all of those boxes unpacked and the goods up on the wall! It looks fantastic! I was so tempted to open one of the boxes when I was there! Hope all is well with you and the rest of the familia!
