Gallery Wall Ideas


Here is another facet of me: I love art, art prints, illustrations, and anything beautifully framed. Living in a small apartment I am constantly challenged to withstand a new acquisition as I've already started just leaning framed art against the wall. However, I have been desirous for quite a long time about one specific decoration project: my own little gallery wall.

I don't know how it's with you, but I feel a bit insecure about it. The variety of prints and pictures, the diversity of frames and unframed solutions, the question of where to install the gallery wall and the final layout of it - all this seems so overwhelming that I have been postponing the project for quite a while. But soon, yes soon, I will tackle this open task. I was thinking of laying out all my prints and illustrations on the floor and thus creating a specific layout that works for me. I will have to buy a few more frames and then the hammering can begin. If you are thinking of the same, I've found a great step-by-step guide here. I've also decided that I am more the variations kind of guy - that means, I prefer different frames, sizes, shapes, colours. At least I think so. And if not, I will have yet another project to procrastinate. Do you have a gallery wall? Any tips? Questions? Let me know!

Pink Chalkboard Door


Chalkboards and chalkboard paint for interiors has been around for quite a while. Yes, we can say it's trending. And the dominant colour is - black. But have you ever seen or thought of pink chalkboard paint for a bright pop of colour in your home? No? Then check this fabulous pink chalkboard door that I've spotted on 'ourcitylights'.

This simple yet super fun DIY project was easily accomplished by buying pink chalkboard paint through Amazon and putting on four coats on the wooden door. Easy peasy. And the result is super cool and so fun. Put your shopping list on your door, today's menu, a love message or a fun drawing. I am inspired! Now let me find the right door!
