My Guest Room Gallery Wall Reveal

It took me a few years to collect the pieces of art I wanted to use for a gallery wall in our guest room.

We call our guest room, the Port Room, because it has a ship theme. And, the Port Room was originally the place where I stored our family history ~ especially information about the ships that brought our ancestors to America.

I had a few things in mind for the pieces for the Port Room gallery wall:

• Recycling: Find all the pieces at thrift stores
• Theme: All the pictures need to feature a boat or ship
• Organic: Make the collection look curated - not planned. The frames could be any color, the art could be any style - just nothing matchy-matchy.
• Consensus: Each piece needed to get a thumbs up from the kids. No matter how eclectic, if it made us happy, we bought it.
