A Warm Winter Gallery Wall in the Living Room

Good Morning, jumping on to share a quick look at our living room gallery wall decor. But first how about a photo of a sleeping puppy? If you look closely, you can see that Pepe's eyes are open. He was a little mad that I was standing over him taking photos. And as soon as I was done, he buried himself under that throw blanket. I love that grumpy little puppy!   I just love these picture...

I am not sure how I got here, or where this will take me. Things have to get better, and some things have to change. Sorry to ramble, I just need to get it out. So... Lets look at another pretty vignette and enjoy a few simple things in life...

A Lovely little Vignette in the Living Room

Hi There! I am so glad you dropped by! I was sitting in the living room, watching TV. Losing brain cells, I'm sure.

This is the top of a little bookcase I have had for years. It sits between the TV armoire and the window. The...

Scrap Book Art Gallery Wall

I found this book of beautiful scrap book papers and made a gallery wall with them. All the frames came from the thrift store and were $1 or less. I spray painted all the frames a glossy black. These photos are when I first hung the gallery...
