My mind has been on gallery walls lately and if you know me once something is on my brain, well it pretty much stays there until it is reality. I hopped over to Pinterest for some inspiration and ideas. Wow! I am impressed by some of the gallery walls that are out there. Here are just a few that I loved.

| v House of Hawthornes I am loving the birds on this gallery wall.But, I think I am going for a french country inspired floral look. I want a collected look with a touch of whimsy. I shopped my house for floral pictures, scoured thrift stores and antique malls to achieve the look I wanted. You can plan a gallery wall by measuring out each picture and having a detailed plan of how things are going to go on the wall. I did not do that, I just started nailing an voila, I am in love. Along with gallery walls I have been seeing arches and they really make me smile. I want arched door ways so badly, they are beautiful and timeless and would totally look stunning in my house. I wanted an arch on the wall so, like I do a lot of things in life, I just wing it and grabbed my pencil and some string and drew on the wall. I painted it the color as the vanity, that I had recently painted and it is so cute. In the future I may cut out flowers to cover the outside of the arch, but for now I am just enjoying it as is.  This is the vanity before I painted it. You can see the gallery wall peaking in the background.  This is the view from our foyer. I love the moody vibe it is giving! I put a lamp in here and never turn on the overhead light. I am not a fan of over bright lights and the lamp just gives it a calmness.  I only bought three new pictures for this wall. I have some other little things to add to fill in the space but, I am loving it so far.  Here is my version of an arch, I just think it needs something! But, until what that something is, it will be fine just being a plan arch. Until next time! Cheers! Dana |
