Grouping your collections

I have thought a lot about where to put these pieces of inherited art. I tried them in several places in house. All the dancers together and separate. I thought I had tried all the options, until I tried them all together.

The colors and frames don't necessarily go but the subject matter does so I say it works! I think I will go and get some antique gold rub and buff to put all over that more ornate frame to help it go more with the gold accents in the other frames.

Looking at these pieces reminds me of my grandmother, they were either hers or she painted them. She passed away 10 years ago and being able to look at these every day reminds me a lot of her. I think you should always have something in your home that is maybe a little out of place but brings you a lot of joy!

Editing the gallery wall...and a guest post!

So I am still working on my gallery wall. I am trying a simplified version of my previous one here.

I did a VERY quick sketch to see how I like things together. Once I pick one I will put the big cut outs on the wall and then probably live with it for a bit to make sure I like it.

So which do you like best?

Option #1

Now for my guest poster today, by my daughter. She decided that she wanted in on the decorating fun and put this together all by herself.

Too cute, right? She is only 4! I was totally impressed with her drawing skills (did you see that blue chair!), maybe we have a little artist/designer on our hands.

Gallery wall progress....

I am still working on my gallery wall but I thought I would take a picture of the progress in the room. The circle (sunburst mirror) needs to be moved up higher but that was as high as I could reach at the time. The blank area on the right is for the deer head.

I took this picture this past weekend but there have been some changes since then (we sold the rattan/glass coffee table) Little by little the rooms in my home will come together.

I have been toying with the idea of going a lot simpler with the arraignment. Mostly because I have a couple items I want to use, but I don't know how to incorporate the pieces without having the wall look like a hot mess.

Both of these were my grandmothers (the orange one she did herself) and I know they will have a place in my home, somewhere...

I am considering using some rub and buff to get rid of the red border on the frame on the right. The art is chalk done on a fine velvet so I don't want to risk damaging it by getting a whole new frame.

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Thoughts about gallery walls...

I am seriously contemplating having a gallery wall in my living room. I have some great pieces of art I would like to showcase. The problem I have been having is putting it all together! It will definitely have to be an eclectic mix filled with some mixed media. So I rounded up some of my favorite gallery wall pictures.
