Gallery Wall

You read about our paneling going in on our walls!  We love it, but now we begin projects on the rest of the room--a gallery wall, 2 matching, smaller chairs for each side of the TV console, and column drapes for the slider. 

I decided to tackle a gallery wall as my next project.  I'm doing black and white photos in black frames with white mats. 

Michael's was having a buy one, get one free frame sale last week, so I bought my frames.  I came home and started playing with the arrangement on the floor.  Once I liked it, I traced butcher paper and taped the paper to the wall to "see" the arrangement. 

(the orange and yellow flowers in the packaging will be black and white photos of our family)

(The lamp will be gone and the "H" will be there)

I started out with a structured look.  I was thinking it would look less "cluttered." 




Then my mom started playing with the side arrangements and I liked her looser look too.  I added two canvas pictures too, which I will paint white with black scripture letters.  Here is the arrangement on the floor.




I think I'm going with the second, less structured look shown in the three pictures right above, but what do you think?  I need feedback!  Ack!
