Home Werk! | The Beginning of a Wall Gallery

Come follow along with me on this wall gallery evolution. It’s far from done but definitely not where it once was.

The Inspiration (via Pinterest)


 


Of course, I wanted to create good vibes upon entry into my space. For a little inspiration and direction, I marched over to Pinterest to get lost in the world of wall strips and gallery art. Here are a few images that tickled my fancy:
Current Situation
Lately, home improvement has been my “z” on my list of priorities. Yup, dead last because I obsess over every detail because like, it’s a HOUSE. Mistakes can be costly. Nobody has the time or the money for a re-do.
So, here’s my current hallway (foyer if you’re fancy) situation. I have the stripes completed and a linear gallery of some personalized wall art.
When my home was being built back in 2007, I came out to the building site literally every week to watch my baby grow. Of course, I snapped a few or 12 photos of each stage and decided to create a little birthing series of my house on my wall.
Started from the bottom (uh…foundation) now we’re here.

 

 

A Few New Additions
 
For some reason, I’ve been getting a little itch to get this wall gallery together. After experiencing a friend’s loft in LA, I wanted to start scratching that itch. She had all of this original art in her space which motivated me to start looking for some creative pieces of my own.
Queue up Minted. They have so much great art that it’s overwhelming. It took me DAYS to decide on these four pieces. What’s cool about them is they have this community of artists who create for them. When you order a piece, you the option of having it signed by the artist and they send a certificate of authenticity. It really is a personal online art buying experience.

 

From l. to r. c/o Minted:
They, also, have dope stationary! Another overwhelming experience. They have so many good options!
My 2016 New Year Cards 🙂
Next up, I started hitting local art festivals and found a guy selling different variations of this camera print and other nostalgic photos. I need to find him again because he had some prints that I wanted that I didn’t get. Note to self: Buy it when you see it ESPECIALLY at an art festival.

 

Stay Tuned…

 

Yeah, so that wall gallery is far from together but there’s definitely a start. Slowly but surely.
Listen, masterpieces take time!

    I and my guys were found to be digesting the excellent information from your website while immediately I had an awful feeling I had not expressed respect to the site owner for those tips. All of the young men had been absolutely stimulated to read them and already have actually been having fun with those things. I appreciate you for genuinely really considerate and for making a choice on such incredible issues millions of individuals are really desperate to be informed on. My sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.

    I would like to express appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of this type of trouble. As a result of scouting through the internet and meeting suggestions that were not pleasant, I was thinking my entire life was well over. Being alive minus the answers to the issues you have sorted out by means of the write-up is a serious case, and ones which could have adversely affected my entire career if I had not noticed your site. Your training and kindness in controlling everything was invaluable. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not discovered such a step like this. I’m able to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks very much for your professional and effective help. I won’t be reluctant to propose the sites to any person who needs and wants guidance about this situation.
