Gallery Wall

Recently I showed you the results of my Pinterest project.  And promised you that a gallery wall was in my future.  And this week I got the process started.

I started out by laying the frames out on the floor.  Once I had them arranged the way I liked I began to hang them on the wall.
 

Instead of measuring like a mad woman, or using newspaper to mark out where to place each frame as seen here, I used this little beauty.  Nail through a clothespin and you have the best picture hanger thingie ever.  :)










I used a nail that was a bit big and it split the clothespin {hence the tape around the end} so you may want to use a smaller nail.  All you do is hang the frame on the end of the nail, place the clothespin against the wall where you want the frame and lightly tap or push the pin into the wall.  Marking exactly where your nail needs to go.  Awesome right?!?

And I ended up with this!  I love it!  But you may notice I am missing some pictures.  :)  I am trying to decide if I want to make all the family photos black and white, or leave them color, or have a mix.  Decisions...decisions...









What would you do?  Black and white?  Or color?  Or a mix of both?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!
