DIY Gallery Wall Inspiration

Let me just start off with an apology.

For those of you who regularly read my 

blog and have noticed my absence, 

I am sorry.

This has been one crazy week.

The Hus was traveling for work,

and can I just say that watching the babes,

without a break, is rough business.

I feel like I live in the Twilight Zone,

not even knowing what day it is 

and our schedules get all mixed up.

Lucky for me, I have great friends near by that

occupied much of my time with dinners

and park days, we even had a juice party,

where we made all kinds of concoctions using

my juicer. My fav? Carrot- Apple juice.

(seriously delish, and healthy)

We also used my PS3, and played this game.

Work. Out. City.

This fabulous game will have you

sweating your eyes out, while you are 

gaining an amazing amount of 

respect for The King of Pop.

That guy is ah-mazing!

RIP, MJ.

Anyway, with that being said,

I had my sister blog about her

gallery wall.

I am in love with this wall.

The previous place holder was a ginormous

painting of some sort of Irish seascape or something,

with a big gold gilded frame.

(kinda like this pic)

But a big golden gilded frame, is sooo

not her style.

(so her husbands though) 

This amazing gallery wall,

totally is.

My favorite part, is the 

framed childrens art.

It says CTR

that stands for 

Choose The Right.

Or as my sister used to say when we were little,

Charity's Totally Rad.

(totally)

Here's her take:

In my living room I have huge vaulted ceiling/ walls.

You cant see it in the pic but it goes up another 3 or 4 feet!  

I used to have a huge piece of art work hanging there, 

but I didn't love it. 

I did love the look of filling a space 

with lots of smaller pictures to make a big impact. 

I used to work at a print shop so I had some pictures laying around

 and I painted a few things. 

To make it personal and a little fun I threw in some of the kids art work too. 

All in all I like it.

 In the end I imagine it bigger and switching the frames out 

for a little more of a romantic/vintage look.

Here's to ever evolving, I'll keep you posted.

She makes it look effortless,

but I really think the key to a good gallery wall,

is uniqueness. This isn't just pictures. 

Its full of paintings and the portraits, are painted

by her, of course, because as if having a good

eye for design wasn't enough, she had to be talented too...

(I really need to surround myself with less talented people)

So, I hope that inspires you as you 

start thinking about that empty wall you want to

fill, and if you do a gallery wall,

dont just limit it to pictures, 

think outside the box.

Sometimes we need someone to 

push us outside of the box

before we can start thinking there.

Hope I pushed you.
