Gallery Wall Picture Ledges

A few months back I shared my gallery wall picture ledges over at City Farmhouse.

Today, I thought I'd re-percentage it right here by myself blog for anyone who may additionally have neglected it.

These ledges have been first-rate clean to construct, and that they made the sort of assertion in my residing room.

The picture ledges allow me to freely switch around my pictures without creating any nail holes, or worrying about messing up a whole wall arrangement

This project, although it seems like something massive, turned into definitely super easy to make.

I first went to Lowes and collected 3 eight foot lengthy boards; one 1 X four and 1 X 2's.

I then had Lowes reduce the timber at five half of toes with the remainder being 2 1/2 feet.

Total fee was about $11.00.

To bring together my ledge, I used wooden glue and glued 1 of the 1 X 2's onto the 1 X 4 and the second one

1 X 2 became glued to the front of the 1 X 4.

Which sounds greater complicated then it genuinely became, so please simply check with the image underneath.

After It become glued collectively I secured it with screws.

(please notice that I used larger screws to connected the portions together and no longer the small nails proven).

Next, I stained the wood using these two stains. I first used the gray driftwood stain and then layered it with the special walnut. The result was a pretty weathered-wood look.

Before placing my ledges, I laid them out on the ground along with my frames.

This was so that I could measure the distance I wanted them to be apart.

Painters tape became implemented to the the front of the ledges for dimension.

I then removed the tape and applied it to the partitions which absolutely helped with placement.

I used genuinely long screws to attached the ledges to the wall.

I extensively utilized a leveler to ensure that my cabinets had been straight.

Once the ledges were hung, I filled them up with some of my favourite pictures.

All of the boat pictures were a free download from Freckled Laundry and can be found HERE.

One of my preferred photographs ever has got to be this one among my boys on a tenting trip when they have been little. Those candy little faces are so precious to me.
