This is it!! Hopefully!

Hopefully this is it, because I sure am tired of filling in all the nail holes and painting this wall over and over again:( This wall has gone though so many changes in the last year and I'm just never 100% happy with it in the end. Anybody else have a problem spot in their home? I love my blue plates that I had hanging in here but they looked lost on this wall. This wall is not only wide but it's also high, the ceiling in here is a 14ft tray so it needed something more substantial.
Here's the new look...

I'm happy with the way this gallery wall turned out, especially having the different colored frames. 
Let's hope it stays this way for a while!

Now I'm off to go and fill all the other holes where I took these pictures from:( 
 Thanks so much for stopping! I can't believe it's Wednesday already these weeks are flying by!

    Oh yes, I can relate to lots of nail holes! Ha! Your gallery wall looks great. I didn't realize you had such a high ceiling. Those kind of rooms can be hard to decorate. I like the picture light used on the center picture too. I bet that looks pretty lit up at night.

    You sound like you are a spackle pro, Martina! : ) I like the way this arrangement fills the space over your sofa. I do know what you mean ~ I hate when I wind up wanting to change something and know I am going to be looking at holes. I still have to figure out what I'm doing about holes in the master from pictures I removed when I added that crown in. The previous owner didn't leave us any paint!

    I think you have the perfect look going on here. I always have trouble with my mantel, so I know the feeling of wanting to get it right. I love this!

    Marty,
    I have the same issue. We have 25 foot ceilings and nothing I ever do looks right, but I think you have it girl. Great looking gallery wall, and I agree the different color frames works.

    I think we all have a wall or spot in our home that we just can't get right. Anyway, your wall does look good and not lost on that wall.

    Martina, I can relate to nail holes..you should see my stairway wall..:( But you have a winner this the arrangement behind your sofa. I like the mix of frame colors and the size of the grouping looks perfect. Oh, great lamp with the burlap shade that's beside the sofa. I keep forgetting to tell you.

    Some walls are just really difficult, aren't they. I've had that problem several times, and it's the long tall walls that are the worst. I think it looks wonderful now, though.

    Your wall grouping looks great Martina! Sometimes it takes time to get something just right. I just changed my mantle again...I don't think I'm ever satisfied with it.

    Looks good!! But I know what you mean about not being happy with it. Since re-vamping my living room three months ago, I've changed the color at least three times - more if you count all the swatches I've painted on the walls. I haven't blogged about it, because I'm still so frustrated!
