The Piscinão de Ramos, Brazil, Massimo Vitali
I think it is well known by this point that I have a thing for beaches and pools, so naturally I’m drawn to beach photography and artwork. I already own one photograph by Gray Malin, but I’m thinking I’m going to need to add another one from his Á la Plage, Á la Piscine series.

If you follow me on instagram you get to see pieces of my home here and there. Lately I’ve been focusing on my space a lot more than before because I’d really like to get it done sometime in the near future. However, when major pieces of furniture (ahem a couch and dining room table & chairs) need replacing, and you have have an entire wall of built in bookshelves and lots of wallspace (a bit rare in a big city), it takes a lot of work, time, and yes money, to get my place to where I want it to be. Hence why it’s taken me so long. But I thought I’d share a few new pieces in my home with you today. I’ve gotten some things up on the walls that I’m in love with, and I am so excited to really pull it all together (hopefully within the next few months!). I did share a few shots of the lighting around my place which I’m obsessed with.

This silver barnacle sculpture on a crystal base immediately caught my eye while shopping on Clayton Gray Home. It’s different than the other sea-inspired home decor objects I’ve seen on the market and I fell in love with it. It’s really stunning and shiny in person. I love the texture and reflection it adds to my space.
I love artist Gretchen Kelly’s one minute pose works. They are affordable original works (not prints) that have her signature style. She has tons to choose from! You can make an entire gallery wall out of her work! (I actually featured two of her other works in this Gallery Wall post.)
What do you think, do you like my direction?
Ever wonder how people get their gallery walls to look so good? Megan has some tips so you can get a professional look but do it yourself! I’m currently doing this on several of my own walls! — Meg
If you are anything like me, you’ve probably done a number on your walls at some point. I remember back to one wall in particular that suffered from the Swiss cheese effect – a result of hammering hundreds of little nail holes to hang a collection of art.
It took this experience an a little creative planning to realize I didn’t have to punish my walls in such a way and that I could actually successfully hang a group of artworks. Continue reading…
