Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you, too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to update my living room gallery wall. A few years ago I created a simple living room gallery wall. I used Command strips and hooks to hang the items on my gallery wall. The Command products are easy to hang and also make it easy to swap out the items on my living room gallery wall as inspiration hits.
I’ve pinned many living room gallery walls on Pinterest. One gallery wall that has especially inspired me is the living room gallery wall by Liz of Love Grows Wild. I love how she only spent $20 on her living room gallery wall by repurposing items, upcycling some and using old thrift store frames that she repainted.
Like Liz’s gallery wall, my gallery wall was very inexpensive. I made the stars on the wall by wrapping cardboard stars that I had cut out with yarn and hot gluing the yarn on. I made the heart sign by buying a simple wooden heart at the dollar section of a local store and gluing on smaller, colorful clipboard hearts. I think it would be fun to use the clips to display a photo or two.
I was going to hang the heart sign for Valentine’s Day, but fell a little bit behind schedule. I think a heart is fun anytime of year, though!
The ivy grapevine wreath I made myself very easily with just a few supplies from my local dollar store. I created the wreath just before the winter holidays, but I kept it up because I think it can work for just about any season.
I’m looking forward to updating the gallery wall again this spring!

I think I have the same pin too! You did a wonderful job at making your gallery wall on a budget. the yarn stars are my favorite.
Emily @DomesticDeadline.com says
Lauren, it looks great! I’ve been staring at a blank space in my living room for quite a while now, maybe it’s time I do something about that!
Lisa says
Love your wall art! Hearts are great all year long, if you ask me. Such a cute arrangement. I struggle with placement of pictures and such, but you make it seem easy. Pinned
Julie says
I love your yarn wrapped stars, it’s lovely to see that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a great look.
Debrashoppeno5 says
I love the gallery wall. I love how you made the stars and yes hearts are appropriate all year round.
Deborah says
That turned out really cute! well done!
Candice says
Gallery walls are so fun to change up and add to! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Leslie Clingan says
What fun. Really like the idea of clipping photos to the big heart with those cute little heart clips. Then you can easily change out photos. I like displaying my granddaughters’ school photos but don’t have enough flat space to put framed photos. This would be a great solution.
I guess I have a gallery wall without knowing it! Glad to know what to call it.
