Several weeks ago Miss Mary Ann of Classic Casual Home and Cindy Hattersley of Rough Luxe Design got together and sponsored a gallery wall challenge with several bloggers.

And while I gave it my best shot I knew I could do better!  So after being inspired by their challenge I decided to take another stab at a gallery wall installation. Actually, truth be told, I had taken down the existing gallery wall and had the wall patched and painted in anticipation of putting up this Antique Herbarium that I purchased more than a year ago on Ebay. It consists of 25 individual plants so it took me a while to figure out how to frame and hang them.   In the end I decided on the simple and inexpensive black Ribba frames from IKEA. They have been framed and sitting in a large stack in my office for close to a year! ...

I tore this page out of the recent Pottery Barn catalog when I noticed that they used nautical cleats and rope to hang and display the art in this room.   I love this idea and am thinking of doing something similar in the mancave. I like the crispness and simplicity of the large framed photos without the shelves and other knickknacks.  What do you think?
