Travel Gallery Hallway Reveal

May 16, 2014 by Ashley Mayes 18 Comments

The upstairs hallway has been a project in progress ever since we moved in. It’s taken forever for me to round-up all our pictures, souvenirs, maps, and just general travel items. But round them up I have, and they are finally up on the wall. The arrangement isn’t perfect, because I really want this wall to grow with every trip we take. So, not perfect, but it reflects us and our favorite thing to do… travel.

Oh, and I tried to wait for the sunniest day that we have had to take pictures because it is pretty dreary in the hallway, but I never did have a great sunny day. So, forgive the pictures!

The “Please Be a Traveler” print is available as a free download.

Travel gallery magnetic map

The large map is magnetic and we have different pins for where we have been. To the right (top) of the map is a watercolor painting of a castle that we visited in Scotland. Directly below that, is a cut-out portion of a coffee bean bag from Jamaica (Blue Mountain – the best coffee that I have ever had!).

“The World is a Book…” is a print from Gus & Lula. You can buy it here.

 The highland cow is actually a pillow that I framed. We attached pilot wings to a canvas to represent the flights that we took as a family during our last trip. I made the embroidered map art and will continue to update that as we travel together as a family.

The top left picture is a picture we took in Italy and then used the Waterlogue app on it. The black tin plate was a Goodwill find. The multiple opening coin art was a recent DIY that is one of my favorites!

So, I really need a wider lens to really capture what the hallway looks like. Oh well! We love it and the memories each item brings to mind.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Love it!!! It has really great flow and variety. Great turnout!

    Oh and Blue Mountain Coffee is the BEST coffee ever. Unfortunately, when I’ve bought it in the states it has never been the same.

      Totally agree with what you buy in the States! Seriously, I’ve been itching to go back to Jamaica just for the coffee!

    This is the idea I’ve been planning to do in my living room- I need to go to ikea and buy more frames- or spray paint the ones I have. Where did you get your frames? What is the green map of the NE USA to the left of the doorway? LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Thanks for your inspiration!

      Thanks Alyn! We started off with about $100 in frames from Ikea and since then, I have added frames from garage sales/thrift stores. I would have loved to stick with Ikea frames to make it more stream-lined but we live 10+ hours away. =( The map of NE USA is from Urban Outfitters.

    What an amazing gallery wall and I love the theme! Pinned 🙂 I can definitely relate to the whole dreary weather photos, lol. I ran into the same problem when I took photos of our dining table.

      Thanks Katie! I know… dreary weather plus a natural darker area in the house = not good! Love your table though. =)
