You may remember I was helping a friend brighten up her entry way (for a refresher, here is the original post). Rae has such great style – think cool, hip, cheerful – and her neutral entry wasn’t feeling cool, hip or cheerful. With about $150,… Continue Reading…a $150 entry refresh

The collection caught my eye and I kept coming back to it trying to decide where I could put a print or two in our house. I really loved all of them,… Continue Reading…the annoying framing saga of my new favorite artwork
Slowly but surely, Audrey’s room is coming along. The gallery wall really stepped things up a notch and it got me motivated to add some cuteness to the other walls. When you have one side of the room filled with art, it makes knowing what to… Continue Reading…DIY Bulletin Board
Audrey’s room has been in it’s incomplete state for well over a year. This seems to be a theme in my life – this starting and not finishing projects around the house – and I’m determined to wrap a few up. I’ve been collecting art for… Continue Reading…How To Create A Gallery Wall
