Our Happy Family Gallery Wall

 

I, like so many others, find the gallery wall to be a great feature to add to any home. This is one feature that I had in our old place, and really wanted to do it again in this apartment. So when we packed up our apartment, and I neatly peeled off my decals and put them on cardboard in hopes that they would be able to re-adhere to the wall. Well, they don't! I had a hot mess on my hands. Everyday a new flower would fall off the wall. It was pretty pathetic. I almost went out and brought spray adhesive, but luckily I didn't have to. We decided to take a trip to IKEA for the Expedite, and my decal was there! 2 years later they're still selling the same exact one. Let that have been Target, they'd be gone the next week! I was so happy to have them stick properly, and add the touch that they once did. Here is the way I did our gallery wall.

:side note:: After seeing the pictures, I think I need to use all matted black frames and add more variety in size. What do you think?

 
Most of the frames are from Ikea, Marshall's, or Target. The cross candle holder was a gift from my sister.

  

 

These are fresh flowers that I think look so pretty. Who doesn't like flower!
 Here is the piece that we purchased at Ikea. I said before that we are turning the dining room into the playroom for Baby B. So the bottom rows are all toys are the top is decor stuff, to make it look nice. So far I like the way that it's styled, but I'm sure I'll change it again. As for the room, we have much more planned to make it kid friendly, so be sure to watch out for that post!

My New Office Nook... I'm in love

This weekend we decided to go to Ikea to decorate a nook area as my office area. Every morning I read my regular DIY and budget decorating blogs that I get tons of inspiration from. I love a comfortable contemporary living space. I want my house apartment to feel lived in, but also have a clean feeling. I don't have a ton of money to spend on furniture or decor so I'm so proud of the way my office turned out. I spent around $300.00 for everything except curtains. This is the first of many more projects to come. All my goodies were purchased at the oh-so fabulous Ikea, some of the little nik-naks I had and just moved to this space. I LOVE having my own little area, a place for just me. Of course Bobby can come in sometimes. I now can browse the web and get inspired to do more with this blog and other ideas I've been thinking of, in style.
