Family Picture Wall: Ghostly Edition!

Halloween Family Gallery Wall

One of my favorite parts of my home is the Family Picture Wall I created this year.

I love the pictures that my sister Wendy took of our family.

And when Wendy and her family were out this Summer, I was showing her the little house around the corner that I am remodeling. It really was in the “fixer-up” stage and a little bit spooky. We thought it would be so fun to have a Haunted Photo Shoot. So we did!!

I rounded up some “old” looking clothes for my little family and we headed over to the house for some spooky fun.

We had such a great time.

And look at the amazing photos that Wendy took! I love the “ghostly” translucent effects.

Here’s what I did to change out my Pretty Gallery Wall to a Spooky one!

I changed out all of the pictures. I was going to cover the frames with black wrapping paper, but I tried doing that to one and decided that I liked the plain frames better.

Then I took the Subway Art board and covered it with some black and white chevron fabric. I taped it onto the back with some painters tape.  I also made a banner with scrapbook paper and pom pom trim.

Then I switched out the chevron “H” frame with a black “spooky” wreath.

I also covered the yellow table with some translucent black material and trim.  I added some candles to the table. I love the way the light illuminates up to the gallery wall at night when they are lit. Very spooky!
