Yes we can! ✊🏻 #happyfriday Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway!! Winner was announced in my stories! ✨ I hope and pray we all get to have coffee dates with our friends soon! 💕
“I have the frames, now what?” Let’s talk styling your gallery wall! I would suggest changing it up. 1. leaving a frame empty 2. Putting a material in a frame (I used the left over black faux leather to fill one of the frames) this could be wrapping paper or patterned card stock you love! 3. Text! Don’t forget to bring in a word or short text that means something to you! Kindness is something I want to continue working on and want to have as a part of my home environment so I made this quick and minimal sign! 4. Get creative!! You don’t have to be an artist to create abstract art! I know the one I made isn’t going to be selling anytime soon for a bazillion bucks but it’s satisfying to see something you worked on up in your home! By creating your own you can pick the complimentary colors to help keep your gallery wall on theme. 5. Good ol fashion photo! Hope some of these ideas sparked some in you! ✨ Thanks to everyone for their patience during the giveaway!! The winner will be announced tomorrow! Stay tuned!!✨
I know I am THAT crazy person in the store... my best tip for shopping a mix matched gallery wall would be to keep your frames on you (if they are small!) when you are shopping! I would compared a frame in the store next to my purchased frames to see how the tones, woods, colors would look together. Yes will you look a little crazy, but it’s for a good cause. Can you say #crazyframelady - If you are going for larger frames take a photo what you already have to compare when out shopping. - Secondly know the color pallet you want before you head out to thrift stores (for when we can). This helps keep you focus and less likely to make compromises that might not match later on! - Lastly I would challenge you to step out of your comfort zone! I was so afraid to attempt a mixed up look, but I LOVE this gallery wall! How have you stepped outside of your comfort zone and been pleasantly surprised?! Home related or not! 😘
I have a colleague house hunting and the conversation about light was brought up. I’m a open all the windows the second there is light from outside kind of person. However my two colleagues said they keep their blinds shut and house dark?!? I’m over here like I can get enough another sunlight perhaps? 😂 I was so shocked to be outnumbered. Y’all tell me your thoughts! Are you a lot of light or keeping the blinds closed kind of person?? Ps that’s my first hanging plant I’d probably way to many more to come! 👏🏻🌱
Cafe Bluebell with its grand open... ok well opening to me for the time being... I’ve always joked I should turn Casa Bluebell into a cafe! When I was researching for WiFi when buying this house I did a very poor job and purchased 150 mbps.... for one person...😂 needless to say I have great WiFi and know better now! My favorite music is that hipstery singer song writer tunes and I’ve got coffee galore. Espresso coming up! French press, pour over? You got it! 😂 Once we can welcome people back into our homes you bet I am opening up Cafe Bluebell to my friends! If you could turn your home into a cafe what would you call it?☕️ ✨✨Don’t forget to enter the giveaway! Giveaway will close Thursday! ✨
CLOSED ✨GIVEAWAY ✨✨ @hanselmannpottery and I have teamed up to give one of you a gorgeous half pint! 😍 You can see it nestle behind the thumb cup. How to Enter: 1. Follow @hanselmannpottery 2. Be following me 3. My favorite way to connect was by having a friend over for a cup of coffee! So tag a friend that you miss and want to have a cup of coffee with when we can all be together again! And while you’re at it please ask them how they are doing during this time! ☺️ And you’re entered! Giveaway will be closed Thursday April 2nd and Winner will be announced Friday April 3rd! Happy future coffee “mugness”😊☕️
