**I was provided a free canvas to facilitate this post. Opinions are 100% mine.**
I love clean, minimal spaces, but not completely bare walls. A simple, small wall gallery is perfect for my home. It adds enough interest without feeling cluttered.
I went ahead and hung a mix of canvas, DIY art and photo frames. A home design “expert” will probably say that this is “the wrong way” to hang a wall gallery. Is there really a wrong way to display a wall gallery in ones own private home? I don’t think so. I could place art and photos on the ceiling if I wanted. My home is not an art gallery or museum and I don’t wish to see a law about hanging art.
My goal is to display art and photos where they seem to fit best in the space.
This canvas, for example, shows happy memories. It’s a selfie we took during our last Christmas in Chicago. Everything I love is in this photo. It puts a smile on my face every single time.
When Canvas On The Cheap reached out and asked if I wanted to review their product I was really excited to get my first photo on canvas. Anything on canvas always seemed expensive. So I was really surprised when I learned that Canvas On The Cheap products start as low as $7.75. It’s so easy to create your own canvas. Just upload an image and choose a size. That’s it. Mine is 16 x 20 and it only costs $17.60.
The canvas was my large piece so I added three smaller frames. When my daughter Christy was in high school, she drew this. I love it. It’s a simple pencil sketch that makes me want to dig out my pencil case and draw.
The small framed art is from Goodwill and adds just the right amount of color. The beach photo (also from Goodwill) reminds me of all the times the kids and I visited the beach when we still lived in Los Angeles.
My small wall gallery is setting the mood, making a statement, and showing happy memories. Personal taste I suppose.
