How clever!

Last night while I was working on a design project, I stumbled across this at the Pottery Barn! It's a little frame raiser that allows certain frames to protrude from the wall for easy layering when creating a gallery wall. (Notice above the 5 and the 9) How clever!

That is SUCH a cool idea. It has so many versatile uses - yay PB!

I don't know what it is about Pottery Barn's gallery walls, but I just swoon and stare for a good 10 minutes (sometimes longer). The exact location and juxtaposition of each frame really gets me! I love those frame raisers, I am definitely going to get some.

I've downloaded so many 'gallery' pictures for inspiration but still haven't got past my blank white walls! I worry about alignment too much which probably holds me back. Wish I had your instinctual flair, the gallery wall in your previous kitchen remains one that I keep.

Wow- thanks C! I'm so flattered that you even remember my old kitchen! (I have to admit, I did more decorating in there then I did cooking...;) If you'd like, you can email me some pics of a wall you're hoping to do a gallery wall on, and I can suggest some placement ideas!

Thanks!

Very cool, I've never seen these. I love hanging frames in front of books on shelves too.

What a unique idea that you made it adds an extra dimension to a plain wall. The frames are in different position that gives attraction to whom will look at it.
