" Modern Style " Gallery Wall

One of the greatest joys I have

shared with others in my field is

the honor of working with

 the best of the best in this industry...

{Frank Salas " Master of Photography "}

When starting to plan the gallery walls

for our home I knew that I wanted to capture 

a mix of who we are as a family.

Modern, bold, edgy and yet a bit vintage.

I called Frank to schedule our {modern style}

family photo shoot.

Aesthetically I wanted each wall to work

within the photos while remaining

true to my " Look for Less " philosophy.

I checked various places to purchase modern style

framing supplies that went with my neutral palette.

Michaels had the best prices for what I needed.

Each matting was a clearance item

and all of the distressed wood frames were

forty percent off that week!

Team Dior in order of appearance:

My oldest " The Chef "

He survived being my first born

and I am truly amazed and proud of

the man he is...

My middle child

" Personal trainer, nutritionalist, and body builder "

Christopher is very determined with such a strong

 passion for his clients helping them achieve their goals.

And my most beautiful surprise in life...

My Gracie girl

" Strong willed, heart of gold & diva in training "

When Mr. Dior and I were ready to hang the photos

I had a plan that I was happy to say worked

 out perfect. Since most of my

readers know Kate has NO patience.

I started with centering my oldest son's photo first.

After that was hung I chose to balance the wall

by using the sizes of each photo to build up

and fill in the wall  as we went along.

The wall space I was covering was 70 inches wide

by 54 inches in height so I wanted to create

a closeness that was pleasing to the eye

without feeling crowded.

Cost of framing the photos for this

modern style gallery wall was just

around 97.00 dollars.

Using the discounted distressed wood frames

 and clearance mats for this project.

Yes these are my loves...

They have taught me the most valuable lessons

about being a mother...

I will be featuring in a few weeks

the vintage gallery wall

project that Mr. Dior and I have been working on.

I was so delighted to finish this gallery wall

under 100.00 dollars.

Working towards having lots of style

without breaking your pocket book.
