Creative Wall Displays: The Gallery Wall and Beyond

Gallery walls are all the rage these days.  We love to display photos and other artwork in an aesthetically pleasing way.  But sometimes we have some 3D objects that we want to display too.  Or we want the ability to move things around as the mood strikes.  I have several places in my home that I have been wanting to do a gallery wall or some creative wall displays and so today I’ve rounded up a little inspiration for myself (and you!)!  There are so many neat ways to dress up our walls!
