I wanted to frame around our TV and fill up some of the dead space so the wall-hung TV looked like it belonged in a gallery. 

My hubby, again, thought I was crazy. But he soon caught my vision and it was fun to have his help hanging and placing things! 

Here is the before: 

And here is the after! 

My amazing friend painted the letters on the sign for me!

(By the way, can I just tell you how inspired I get by the Columbia Inn in White Christmas?!)

The clock and “&” are from Hobby Lobby, the doorknob and plant are flea market finds, and I made the Merry Christmas blocks and painted the cabinet! 

The great and also tricky thing about gallery walls is that they don’t have to be perfectly symmetrical. I still look at it and wonder if something should be lowered or raised… or if it needs more by the clock… but my hubby likes it, so I’ll leave it for now. 

What do you think?
