The current issue of Elle Decor featured the Hamptons home of James Huniford.  And, while many aspects of this beautifully designed home were of interest to me, I was especially enamoured with this gallery wall he created in a hallway.

As the mom of a 2 year old….I am increasingly the recipient of original “art.”  I suspect this will only increase as Maddie enters preschool in the fall.  I think the idea of using clipboards to feature a gallery of art is a great idea.  Of course, here Huniford displays a collection of watercolors.  In my own home, I could see displaying my daughter’s art….enjoying the ability to rotate as she creates new pieces.

I am picturing such a gallery in the mudroom off the kitchen, or perhaps in a playroom.  Depending on the location within your home, you could use any number of clipboards as the base of your gallery.  Think clear or colored acrylic, a decorative clipboard such as one from this site, or even a vintage clipboard as used in the inspiration photo.

What do you think….would you do this?  Any other great ideas for an unconventional gallery wall?
