Gallery Wall In Progress

Surrounding yourself with an environment that speaks to your personal style & your vibe can do wonders for your sense of well-being. I have always had a passion for interiors but never really knew how to bring my vision to life. To be honest, it is still kind of hard to create what you see in your head but with a little tweaking, adding different items, removing others, it is possible to get pretty close. 

I’ve found that I can spend hours scrolling different interiors that really speak to me. I often Google “Parisian chic interiors” and then float off to a land of chevron (or herringbone – apparently there is adifference) hardwood floors, gold leaf intricate frames, and minimalistic artwork. Within the past year or so, I thought it might be fun to start creating a space in my house that really speaks to my personal style. Until recently my interiors have always had things that I like but nothing that really got me all that excited. Also, I have to admit it is not easy considering our humble abode is a little beach house with a limited amount of square footage to work with. Nonetheless, I got to it. 

One of my first projects that I am working on currently is my gallery wall. Definitely a work in progress to say the least but it is a fun work in progress! I had my boyfriend paint my walls a nice white, and now of course I am dying for a dark navy blue for this wall but that’s another story.

I ordered these frames awhile back and had fun choosing images from some of my favorite fashion magazines to fill them in. This is my favorite part because you really get to add images to the wall that speak to you and that make you happy. I also have some vintage frames I picked up at the antique store and painted gold with this gold rub n’ buff I read about on another blog. I found the gold color that comes out to really be what I was looking for.

I am excited to add different pieces to my gallery wall, it doesn’t always have to be a photo. I actually have a faux cow skull that we painted white and gold that I want to add to the mix along with some other little mirrors and fun frames.

I hope to share more of my room with you as I continue adding things to it that make me smile. If you want to try your own gallery wall, check out some of the frames below along with some of my other favorite interior pieces.

p.s. How amazing is that unicorn lamp below?!?!

  1. I love gallery walls but I'm so OCD about everything being completely straight that I think I'd go bonkers trying to set it up. It's definitely one of those things that I would pay to have done haha, to save my own sanity. I love the things you've listed and next on my list is a sheepskin rug and those cute furry pillows!

  2. I can spend hours just checking the interiors and pinning them. I like Parisian interior and I am sure I will implement some of these things to my place. When I move, I want to have my gallery wall too! I should start checking frames and the photos I would want there. All these pieces look good, especially the unicorn lamb. It is adorable :) xx
