Home Decor Gallery Frame and Star Wall

Hi Guys, so as I have mentioned here and there, we have moved into a new place and we are still room by room settling in. There are some fun walls, nooks, and spaces in the new place. Today I am sharing a wall that sits between the door to the garage and the door to the laundry room. This wall was the perfect fit for my bookcase (that I still want to paint white... one day) Anyway, I shopped "MY HOME" and found stuff to create my Gallery Frame and Star Wall. A FREE created space, WOOOOT!

...P.S. I will tell you what inspired me to create this wall...... 

You see that green 3-d star? WELL' it fits perfectly over the UGLY thermostat- HA! when we need to adjust the thermostat we just lift it off. I put the star over it, and BAM- it was a perfect un-awkward fit. So' my green star inspired my entire wall look and design. 

So I hope that this wall has inspired you all to think OUTSIDE the box.. your "Gallery Wall" doesn't have to just be different sized frames. You can mix it in with stars or something else in a theme that you like. Also, if you are looking to make your gallery/art wall look super sleek, a bit modern, and organized, try picture hanging hardware  it would be a great alternative, and PERFECT solution to try. 

So here is my "Gallery Frame and Star Wall"

So that is one more space down.. MORE TO come. 

Thanks for stopping by.

DIY Pine Cone and Pom Pom Wreath

Hello There-, today I will be sharing my 

"DIY Pine Cone and Pom Pom Wreath."

 I tell YA' its hard to be ORIGINAL and find something to make that isn't all over Pinterest, Blogland, or Google. winks! So I thought of this wreath the other day and was glad to see that I haven't found it made anywhere on the web.... I could be wrong though, but so far so good. 

ABOUT THE WREATH: I found the rustic bells and the white pom poms at JoAnn's. I got medium, small, and large pom poms. I started hot gluing the large pom poms to the wicker wreath that I found at Target a few weeks ago in the $1.00-$2.50 section. This wreath was pretty easy to make just a bunch of hot gluing. Once all the pom poms were glued down I then moved onto the mini pine cones. The mini pine cones I found at Big Lots. I simply glued the pine cones down in spots where I thought they looked best. I finished the wreath with a cut piece of fabric tied into a bow.

SO HERE IT IS!

If you make a wreath like this please let me know, I would love to see it.

Thank you so much for stopping by COM. I {LOVE} AND MISS comments, hint hint...

HOLIDAY "new" HOME DECOR

Well I hope you all survived Thanksgiving, and are able to move today HA! Perhaps, some of you are getting your move on and burning some calories off shopping this BLACK FRIDAY.. Have fun, and enjoy. I am still recovering from the feast yesterday, and would totally get my mouth wired shut until after Easter, if I had my way! HA! Thanksgiving was, as usual wonderful! fun! and so tasty! My mom in my opinion is THE BEST cook ever and I have never had anyone else's food that can even compare to my moms. It was all around amazing!

So who is NOT Black Friday shopping and instead 

"Decking The Halls?" I know that it's a tradition for many to decorate the day after Thanksgiving, I just love that. I went ahead and put up my decor in the main living space about a week ago. So today I am sharing it with all of you. We are in a new place so it has made it even more fun to put up Christmas and see how it looks in a new place with new space. winks.

Here is my HOLIDAY HOME! 

This is the main living area all finished. I plan to show some more, so stay tuned and thanks for stopping by. Have fun Decking your Halls.
