  1. Pictures/Frames for the gallery wall
  2. Slipcover style for the ottoman
  3. A mirror for over the ottoman.

It really takes awhile to sort through old photos and then decide which ones to use.  I decided to opt for artful pictures; strong images that stand on on their own.  I also have a strategy for framing my pieces.  In an effort to not get too busy, Ive limited the palette to white, black, occasionally gold/silver and a few unique vintage frames to mix things up.  It takes time to build a gallery wall so I am not expecting to finish it completely in the next couple weeks, but at least I’ll be on my way.  Here are a few examples of PICTURE WALLS I really like:

I like the simplicity of the black and white

I also like when there is some art thrown in along with some variation in sizes. aed5fed3176be41c9676359ac6f3977a

Here are some of the PHOTOS I have gathered so far. Ive made a few trips to Goodwill and I have found frames from Aaron Brothers, IKEA, Pottery Barn as well as some higher quality custom frame shops!  I am taking them to a framer to just have the mattes cut and assembled with nice hooks on the back.

The closest I have come to an style slip cover I want is this simple tuxedo style. The fabric is going to be a white or natural cotton fabric:

And I would like to put a mirror over the bench. f3aeb632dacb764a830ce1a2c9eb8f86-copy

So I am on the hunt for one locally; we’ll see what I can find.
