According to some people, there is a ‘right’ way and a ‘wrong’ way of doing things, and that includes building a Gallery Wall. If you are starting from scratch, you may want to do a little more measuring and planning before actually purchasing the canvasses (or picture frames or whatnot). In this case, I had already owned some of these canvasses. I ordered some more canvasses from CanvasOnDemand thinking I would arrange them once they came. Not very logical – I know. However, I knew if they didn’t fit the wall, they would be put elsewhere.
I like to lay out my wall collections on the floor to get a visual first of placement.
Since my last blog post about this office transformation, I’ve also had a lot of inquires about the furniture. Table and Bookcase are from Nadeau .
Love this! Can u tell me what size wall that is?
which canvas option did you order from canvasondemand.com please?
My problems is my snapshots are old and not enough mega pixils and that makes me sad because I wanted this for den wall so bad !
Very nice! Just wondering what is the paint color you used for your photo wall? Thanks!
WHEN I SAW THIS ONE WORD CAME TO MIND, “WOW!” THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!
Love the pictures. As for the cords, if you’re willing to drill a hole into the table do so and then run the cords under it and then attach them to the underside of the table top. Screw a power strip to the table apron(under the table), then you’ll only have the power cord running out to the outlet. If you don’t want to cut a hole in the table then use the cord covers that others talked about and just run it under the table. The rest stays the same.
Great idea!I love the drill a hole -Although I love the table – I got it at a really great price, so it won’t sting too much…:). Thanks!
Just love your photo wall. I can’t wait to do one too. I have an idea for your cords. I bought a large lidded basket from Home Goods (mine actually has holes at the top sides for grabbing the basket, you can always cut holes in them as they are fairly inexpensive) I cram all the cords into the basket and place it against the wall. To make it look more like it belongs there, I bought the next smallest size basket and stacked it on top. Hope that works for you.
Arley – OMGoodness – Seriously I just did that this past weekend! I had a lidded basket – but didn’t think to put a hole in it. I may check out my home goods to see if they have one with hole. I don’t trust myself to actually cut a hole without ruining it! Thanks!
I love this series- It has inspired me to do a similar one in my studio and home. I cannot wait! Lovely images.

Oh wow, I’m so jealous! What a wonderful space to work in.
I love that wall thnks for the idea
Also had the fabric covered cord idea, but you could feed the cords from the table into a basket (large decorative wastebasket or a wicker basket) with a hole cut in the side near the bottom to feed out to the wall. Or, you could use a small shelf unit, painted to coordinate with your desk, placed at the end of the desk. Drill holes in the back to feed the cords through. The power units can sit on the shelves. Again, you’ll have only one or two cords going from the shelf to the wall. You can cover those with one of the flat cord covers made for carpets. If there isn’t one to blend with your carpet, spray paint it. Good luck. Hope one of these ideas works for you.
cord cover – I use the fabric covers they make for hanging lamps. They hold more than regular cord covers and look kind of elegant. Love your wall!!!
Would love to know how you made canvassed with black and white pics…love the wall. Thank you
your photos are amaizing, nice job, i would love to work in that office all day, although i might move my desk so that i could also enjoy it as well.
Please advise where you purchased your prints. I have several black and white printed I’d like to blow up to much larger size but want to get good prints. Your wall looks awesome!
Your photographs are so beautiful! And what a gorgeous way to display them – really inspiring!
THank you SOOO much for sharing your dimensions. I was close, but off on a few and am so thankful that you posted them. I’m planning on doing something similar for our master bedroom and haven’t seen one I like as much as yours. You’ve inspired me! Thank you,

Love your wall. It’s absolutely precious. Just a thought on your cords because that is so a peeve of my own. W
hy not cover them with a fabric gathered cord cover. Something in a creamy color to go with the color of the furniture. Make it part of the decor. But it needs to be scrunchy looking so I would make sure it’s gathered. Just a thought. Love your office.

Beautiful. As a fellow photographer & holding a passionate {love} for black and white images {miss my film days}…I appreciate this wall very much so!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve been wanting to do something if this sort as a “headboard” look. Seeing this really makes me want to get started, finally! 😉
AMAZING. I love it. I just redid my office and have been putting off hanging photos on my big empty wall. Now I am inspired! Thank you for the great post.
Hey : ) That photos are really creative, especially the working area, I would like to use a photo on my Blog, it would be a part of a compilation of inspirational workplaces.
Thank you
Wow, I am so happy I found your blog from Pinterest! I was wondering how I was going to display images I took from my Peace Corps adventure, and this is exactly how I want to do it! You really have a talent for arranging things!
