Do you have
a spot in your home that just
makes you smile?
I do!
I love this spot in our apt. because it is a collection of old and new things that I put together to make a gallery wall and table vignette. I am a newly married gal, so I am always trying to find ways to decorate that will save money $$$! There's just something fun and even a little bit adventurous about searching and gathering up objects throughout your home to help create something eye catching and perfect for that certain spot!
1. I added our favorite photos from our Engagement Shoot
(made sure to use variations in size, color, and texture for the frames)
2. Goodwill Princess House candle stick holder
(growing up my mom had a pair of Princess House candle stick holders that as a little girl I thought were so pretty and sparkly. I randomly found a pair at Goodwill for $3.00... Score!!!
I love them because they remind me of my mom!)
3. Picnic Basket
(I always see at Pottery Barn how they add baskets or vintage looking suitcases under tables, but the price tag for a basket or suitcase can be high! So, I improvised and put a picnic basket under instead. It is a little small, but I still think it works! Most importantly, the picnic basket was a gift from Steve while we were dating, so it holds sentimental value!)
4. Flower Print Souvenir
(found this print while on a mother-daughter trip in North Carolina at the Elizabethan Gardens. Whenever I look at it, I am reminded of our fun trip!)
5. White Trellis
(a HomeGoods find that I love because it softens and lightens up the gallery wall)
(made sure to use variations in size, color, and texture for the frames)

6. DIY Monogram
(inspired from Anthropolgie. All I did was find a font on the computer and printed out my last name initial on cardstock. I was excited when I found this white oval frame at Target, it helped create the exact look I had envisioned!)
I encourage you that as you decorate
your home make sure to add those special and memorable objects (old and new)
because it will make it so much more than just decor!
