Ah! Does it take anyone else forever to put pictures on your walls? I seem to wait until a room is somewhat settled before committing to holes in the drywall. Over the weekend, I created a gallery wall. And now there is a certain feeling that I get when walking into this room that I didn’t have before. It’s an “Ah, that suits me” sort of feeling, know what I mean?
Some of the artwork pieces were in the house when we bought it, others are old prints and paintings I did in art school, and others are just empty frames. By laying the items on a large expanse of floor, I put them in an arrangement that seemed well-proportioned. And then I started with the screenprint at the top middle and went out and down from there. In about 20 minutes, they were all up and I managed to make only two extra holes.
Hey Ang! I’ve been away from your blog too long! So many good pics and ideas!
Thank you for the kind words about re-styling a room with what’s around the house already BUT you do a fantastic job all by yourself. It’s just more fun and inspirational as a team! The room looks great! And the mud room idea is exactly as I imagined it might be. Your dad did a super job! I’m so happy that it’s coming together as a more useful and appealing home for you and your family. Look forward to our getting together to create and laugh over a good cup of ‘jo!
Style on, girlfriend!
