Vintage Botanical Print Gallery Wall

Looking for some ideas to fill a blank wall? Wait until you try this easy vintage botanical print gallery wall idea that you can make in less than an hour!

I was inspired by a fellow blogger, Natalie from @vintageporch, who recently created a large gallery wall using downloadable vintage botanical prints and dollar store frames.

I love how her wall turned out and thought this would be perfect in my dining room.

Since my wall area is much smaller than hers, I scaled it back to six 8×10 prints.

There are so many downloadable prints to choose from and they are so inexpensive, easy to find, and download.

THESE are the prints I chose.

That said, I’m a huge fan of working off other people’s recommendations.

Since I loved the prints she chose and didn’t want to sort through hundreds of prints just to do something different, I purchased the same ones she used for like $12 from Etsy.

They are a perfect fit with my garden-style decor and I love how they look!

I am planning to use them in my spring/summer decor and then swap them out for something autumnal in fall and evergreen in winter.

Here’s how I made this vintage botanical print gallery wall idea.

Repurposing and Refinishing What I Have

When I first decided to create the gallery wall, I considered where to purchase new frames.

Then it dawned on me…I have some in the basement that I’m not even using!

We used to have a large gallery wall of family photos in the basement living room.

When I painted the walls last year, I took them down and only use a few in my decor now.

Since I have ALOT of 8×10 frames leftover, they are perfect for this particular project.

They have a reddish wood stain, but I decided to refinish them with black chalk paint that I had on hand so they would go better with my decor and the prints.

Before painting, I gave them each a light sanding.

After dusting the debris off, I painted each with a few coats of black chalk paint.

When they were completely dry, I lightly distressed each then applied a clear wax to protect the color.

When the frames were dry, it was time to hang them.

Usually my husband does this task because he is really great at it – he has a laser level, gets all into it and installs things perfectly.

I have a tendency to put a lot of holes in the wall?

So oftentimes I defer to him for this task. Since he has been pretty busy with work lately, I hung them myself.

Not gonna lie, there are definitely more than 6 holes in the wall. LOL!

Final Thoughts

Aren’t those prints so pretty? They go so well with my garden-style decor and I really love them in the black frames!

What do you think of the new botanical gallery wall?

I am really happy with it and feel like it finishes off the room.

Do you have a gallery wall? I’d love to see it if you do! If not, I hope this brought some inspiration for your indoor spaces.
