A Budget Friendly Gallery Wall!

My friend, Kate Sartori, helped me with this gallery wall in my family room!  I'm thrilled she convinced me to do a gallery wall around the TV!  I also managed to do it pretty cheap!  Here's how:

• I used old frames that weren't being used!  I spray painted them metallic gold.  I bought it at Walmart.
• For specific pops of color, I created my own paintings.  See my Etsy shop!
• My daughter, Elle, painted the golden bird on the top row.
• I used pictures of my kids that I've taken & a photo of a door that my dad took.
• My friend, Kate, made the book wreath for me!  I love the texture it adds.  She used the tutorial from this blog.
• I adore the New Orleans canvases that were a gift from my parents.  They can be purchased at artbyjax.com.
• The navy & white striped paper is just scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby with a gold R taped on (also from Hobby Lobby)!
• I also used some 40-50% off coupons at Hobby Lobby & Michaels for the Love print, the arrow & a few of the frames.
