>>> WELCOME BACK. PUTTING ART OR PHOTOS ON YOUR
WALL IS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE A
ROOM COME TO LIFE AND TO SEE
ALL THE FUN STUFF IN IT IF YOU
WANT TO HANG MORE THAN ONE
FRAME, IT CAN BE A LITTLE
TRICKY.
TRICKY.
TRICKY. HERE WITH HER PRO TIPS IS SARAH
HURT . AT I WAS JUST SAYING
THAT I HAD A GIANT GALLERY WALL
FAIL IN MY GUEST ROOM THAT
INVOLVED TAKING EVERYTHING DOWN
AND REPAIRING THE WALL.
IT WAS A MESS.
>> WE HAVE SOME TIPS TO AVOID
DISASTERS AND SHEET ROCK REPAIR
AND TOO MANY HOLES IN THE
WALLS.
WALLS.
WALLS. >>
WALLS. >> VERY GOOD.
>> 1 OF THE THINGS THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO START WHEN YOU'RE
EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT IS HOW
IS IT ALL GOING TO LOOK
TOGETHER?
TOGETHER?
TOGETHER? CREATING A GALLERY WALL THAT
HAS A YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT
BY HAVING YOUR FAVORITE
LANDSCAPES OR FAVORITE
PORTRAITS, BUT MY PHOTO WALL
WHICH WE ARE DEMONSTRATING HERE
HAS A LITTLE BIT OF
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING. THE PIECES THAT ARE THE COMMON
TOUCHES ARE WE HAVE PICKED
WHITE FRAMES AND BLACK FRAMES
PLAY IS.
PLAY IS.
PLAY IS. >> YOU'VE DONE SOME BLACK AND
WHITE AND SOME COLOR, WHICH I
THINK IT'S COOL.
>> 1 THING I LIKE TO IS TAKE
SOME OF THAT REALLY FUN ART
THAT YOUR KIDS BRING HOME AND
ADD IT TO A TOUCH OF COLOR TO
YOUR GALLERY WALL WITH IT.
THIS IS SOMETHING FROM
PRESCHOOL.
PRESCHOOL. IT'S NOT SUPER ANCIENT, BUT IT
LOOKS PREVIOUS.
LOOKS PREVIOUS. >> AND IT PICKS UP THE COLORS.
>> DON'T BE AFRAID TO ADD A
LITTLE COLOR.
LITTLE COLOR. >> SO THE NEXT THING, AFTER YOU
HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT
FRAMING CHOICES YOU HAVE, HOW
MANY PICTURES YOU ARE GOING TO
SELECT, YOU YOU GET THEM
PRINTED.
PRINTED.
PRINTED. GET THEM FRAMED AND YOU CAN
START BEFORE YOU PUT HOLES IN
YOUR WALL, START BY SOME BROWN
PAPER.
PAPER.
PAPER. >>
PAPER. >> YOU HAVE MATTED ALL OF
THESE.
THESE.
THESE. DOES THAT HELP MAKE IT LOOK A
LITTLE MORE FINISHED?
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THEM
ALL MATTED, BUT IT ADDS A
LITTLE DRESSING US.
>> I LIKE THAT IDEA.
>> THESE ARE NOT SMALL PHOTOS.
>> THESE ARE FROM MY INSTAGRAM
FEED.
FEED.
FEED. THESE ARE PICTURES THAT I LOVE
THAT CAPTURE THE PERSONALITY OF
MY KIDS AND HAVING THE MATTING
AROUND THEM ADDS A LITTLE BIT
OF DRESS, A LITTLE VISUAL HEFT.
>> AND IT'S NOT THAT EXPENSIVE.
A LOT OF THESE COME WITH
MATTING WHEN YOU GO TO THE
CRAFT STORES.
CRAFT STORES. NO BIG DEAL.
SO NOW WE ARE MARKING UP OUR
WALL.
WALL.
WALL. THIS IS WHERE THINGS GO
HORRIBLY WRONG FOR ME.
>> SO WHAT I'VE DONE IS TAKE
SOME SIMPLE CRAFT PAPER OR EVEN
PAPER BAGS YOU'VE GOT LAYING
AROUND THE HOUSE.
YOU MEASURE OUT WHAT YOU THINK
IS GOING TO GO ON YOUR WALL,
AND BEFORE YOU EVEN PUT HOLES
IN IT, YOU JUST TAPE IT TO YOUR
WALL, AND YOU CAN USE THESE
HANDY LITTLE BLUE TAPE.
THIS WILL NOT DAMAGE OR PAINT.
THIS IS AN INCH AND A. I HAVE
CREATED ONE AND A HALF INCH
SPACE BETWEEN ALL OF MY FRAMES
SO IT IS A UNIFORM SPACE
BETWEEN ALL OF YOUR PICTURE
FRAMES.
FRAMES.
FRAMES. >> I SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE.
THIS HAS SYMMETRY, AND THERE'S
ONE OFFSET, BUT I WOULD HAVE
PUT THIS AT SOME GOOFY ANGLE.
>> WE ARE BUILDING OVER YOUR
DIRECTIONS.
DIRECTIONS. SO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO,
THIS IS THE NEXT LARGEST PHOTO.
THIS WOULD BE OF MY DAUGHTERS
11 BY 14 HERE, WHICH SHE IS
GOING TO BE DELIGHTED I USED
THAT ON TELEVISION.
>> DID YOU GET HER PERMISSION?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. AND THEN WE PUT SOME TAPE
DONUTS ON THERE, AND WE SEE
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE IN THIS
CORNER AND IF THAT'S GOING TO
BE PROPORTIONATE.
BE PROPORTIONATE. AS WE GROW OUR GALLERY WALL IN
ONE DIRECTION, WE CAN MOVE IT
AROUND.
AROUND.
AROUND. WE CAN SWITCH IT OVER TO MAKE
SURE WE'VE GOT UNIFORM SPACES
IN BETWEEN.
IN BETWEEN. 1 GOOD RULE OF THUMB, ODD
NUMBERS LOOK BETTER.
THE RULE OF THREE IS ONLY
BIGGER WITH ODD NUMBERS.
>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME
PHOTOS OF FINISHED GALLERY
WALLS.
WALLS.
WALLS. THIS IS CHALLENGING.
YOU ARE ON A STAIRWAY.
>> SO THIS IS MY HOUSE.
A LOT OF THESE PHOTOS WERE
SCAVENGED FROM MY LIVING ROOM
YESTERDAY, AND YOU CAN SEE IT
GROWS ALONG THE HAND RAIL.
NOW, WHEN WHO IS THE JEDI OF
PICTURE FRAMING, SHE CAME TO
HELP ME.
HELP ME.
HELP ME. WE STARTED OUR WAY FROM THE
MIDDLE.
MIDDLE.
MIDDLE. I.
I.
I. >>
I. >> I
I. >> I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK.
>> HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE.
THIS IS FROM THE BALD -- BLOG
COCO AND KELLY.
SHE HAS ONE OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL
TVS THAT YOU HAVE ART ROTATING
ON BUT NEEDED SOME OTHER ART SO
CREATED THIS ALMOST
ASYMMETRICAL GALLERY WALL.
THE COMMON THEMES ARE SOME OF
THE COLOR TONES, THE
RELATIONSHIP THE ART HAS TO THE
FURNITURE UNDERNEATH IT IS ALSO
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. >> THAT'S SO PEACEFUL.
>> THIS I LOVE.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THIS?
>> I LOVE THE CENTRAL PIECE,
THE BLACK AND WHITE.
I THINK THE WAY THIS IS DONE ON
THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.
>> THAT IS SO COOL.
>> SO ALL OF THIS ART, IT'S IN
THIS ODD ALCOVE, BUT IT NEEDS
TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TO EACH
OTHER, RIGHT?
OTHER, RIGHT? VISUALLY, YOU ARE LOOKING AT
THAT SPACE ALL AT ONCE PRE-WE
GOT THE THREE ON THE SIDE.
THEY ARE NOT HUNG IN A SUPER
TRADITIONAL WAY.
TRADITIONAL WAY. IT'S VERY CONTEMPORARY TO HAVE
IT KIND OF STAGGERED, AND THEN
THAT BEAUTIFUL BLUE PAINTING ON
THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.
IT JUST A COLOR MOMENT, BLACK
AND WHITE UNDERNEATH.
THE COMMON THEME IS BLACK AND
WHITE, VERY CONTEMPORARY, AND
IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER.
>> THOSE ARE GREAT TIPS.
I'M GOING TO TRY AGAIN AND I'M
DEFINITELY DOING THE BROWN
PAPER.
PAPER.
PAPER. I
PAPER. I CRIED.
I CRIED.
I CRIED. IT WAS NOT GOOD.
