AW: Home Improvement Projects
This is what I did all weekend.
Gallery wall with pops of word art and red frames in our hallway from the foyer to the bedrooms (sorry for the slightly not straight picture- there's no way to get it straighter due to the angle of the walls). Just waiting for my Shutterfly order and then we can call it finished!

Guest Room, still a work in progress- needs pillows, an end table (yep, that's a suitcase) and more wall art. I made the curtains, assembled the embroidery hoops and painted the painting.


Stand up for something you believe in.

I love that gallery wall! Very cool, and inspiring as well. I might have to try something like that on one bare wall that annoys me.
Yay for it all coming together! Looks great!

I love it, Mary! I especially dig the pops of red; I love decorating with splashes of red in my own house. I keep wanting to do a gallery wall and the idea of hanging all those frames keeps intimidating me.
Sidenote: Rach totally reassured me that mixing metals and woods (blacks, browns, silvers and golds) all together is okay, because she has gorgeous groupings like that in her own house.
Thanks!
MB, I'll come up and do yours if you buy the plane ticket.
Tara, you can totally do it- I used a tutorial (cutting pieces of paper out in the shape of the frames and arranging before leveling and really hanging the frames).
