Wall Gallery

{sand dollars are ones that Paul and I found on our beach bike ride on on Jekyll Island two days after our wedding}

One of the things I find hardest to do in a home is create an appealing, well-balanced, interesting wall gallery.  I attempted one before in our guest room and after a week I was sick of it.  The trick is for the frames and items to go together, but in an unexpected way, which is what I find the hardest.  

I've attempted another gallery in our bedroom above my mirrored dresser (a find from homegoods).  I don't know how I managed to get my own wall in our shared master bedroom....I guess I just didn't even ask ;) every girl needs her "space" and since we currently share a sink, this is my space for all my pretty, favorite things. 


I currently have pictures of my girlfriends up (from MA and GA!)...but I hate to tell you girls...I have a feeling in 10 weeks you will be replaced with pictures a new precious little girl.  eek!


{I like the mix of gold, silver, black, white, etc that is going on}

{my very talented and creative friend Sue gave all of her girlfriends a plate with a quote that reminded her of them for Christmas.  Very personal, very crafty, and means so much!}

{These jewelry holders were a gift from my mother-in-law and should be polished - but I almost like the tarnished look better? either that or I'm lazy}


{a night time view - always amazes me how different things look from day to night}

We'll see how long this one lasts before I change it. :)
