Buying art can be expensive. Ever thought of taking a calendar and using those images? A black and white calendar of architecture or landscapes would make for a nice gallery by placing them in like frames with a mat. No one would ever know.

Home tour with original moldings and modern furniture & art
Madrid-based architect Ignacio García de Vinuesa and interior designer Elisa Rodríguez salvaged original architectural details and married them with modern contemporary art and furniture in this home. Although I am tired of sea urchin decor, I am not tired of this light fixture. I’ve seen it before and think it’s such a show stopper.
The wood on the cabinetry is nothing short of gorgeous. Wow. Combined with black counters and herringbone floors, it makes for a very up to date space with architectural details to add character.

I think I want to add colbalt blue hues to my living room…
I have a handful of things I want to spray paint in my living area. This is the color I’m leaning toward. I feel it will compliment the mocha tones already there. It’s not the typical turquoise and brown color combo which is why I like this blue. It’s so rich & vibrant…

Sometimes you don’t need art, you just need a frame…
Whether it’s a layering effect to create a sculptural wall piece or a collage in a gallery wall way, decorating with frames is one of my favorite wall decor ideas. And it’s cost-effective as you can scour rummage sales & with a little spray paint, create an impact…

Tuesday’s Tips: Hide thermostats, firepulls & alarms with hinged canvas art…
See detailed via about hinging canvas to the wall to hide unsightly eyesores. I think it’s an excellent idea. Micheal’s always have sales on their canvases and you can use 40% coupons if they’re regular priced. I thought the gallery wall below is fitting for this post because it’s an entry way area which is usually where the eyesores are located…
If you have shoe boxes lying around, maybe use the lids as a “canvas” and paint them and arrange in a way to cover whatever needs covering.

Have an old dresser and not enough storage? Place casters on the bottoms of the drawers & roll them under the bed for some easy to reach storage. Use for out of season clothing or paperwork…
My girl Jessica has yet another fab diy project (another fav of mine is her leopard drawer liner tutorial). She made a convincing malachite pattern for some decorative boxes…
Never thought of this: Displaying jewelry in shadowboxes, creating a gallery wall to add color or leaning pics on kitchen counters
Both are two decorating ideas I never thought of. The above I thought about when it comes to framing momentos maybe from a loved one who passed heirlooms down. You may not wear it but it’s a way to cherish and display something and appreciate it on a daily versus storing it in a box. But imagine buying big bulky statement necklaces filled with color and hanging them in craft paper lined shadowboxes? How cool is that. African or tribal inspired pieces would look great in a room that has global influences…
And you know my love of leaned pictures whether on nightstands or shelves. But I never thought doing this for the kitchen. Nice…

What are you thoughts on hanging pictures low to the ground?…
Usually we hear the rule of thumb about hanging pictures at eye level. But is there one about how far from the ground pics shouldn’t be? I for one love this look because some people are art collectors or have more things they want to display than space. Gallery walls and this look allows a person to use a bit more wall space. What do you think? Yay or Nay?
