3 Tricks to Make Frame TV Art Look More Realistic

It's not often I change out art in a room, but if I do, it's most likely the Frame TV art. It's just so easy and so inexpensive (once you have the Samsung Frame TV of course). But you can set a landscape-sized background on a lot of TV brands these days! I've rounded up […]

Gigi's Nursery Reveal: A 10x10 nursery loaded with charm

Last fall, I started designing a nursery for my sister's newest addition. Her baby arrived early (on January 1st!) and over the last month, Chris and I have been on location finishing it up just in time for her to move out of her bassinet and into her crib and brand new nursery. Today, I […]

How to Hang Anything On Your Walls

I'm not one to be afraid of hanging things on my walls, but I know that's a real fear of homeowners! Hanging decor, in my mind, is far from permanent and is typically one of the easier decisions to make when it comes to home renovation. But I'm not a perfectionist! I'm known for eyeballing […]

How to Find Digital Art For Free or Cheap + a Frame TV Art Roundup

One of the fastest ways to "makeover" a room is to hang some art. Art can immediately change the vibe and inspire a room's potential. Art is going to show off your style and personality faster than anything else you put in a room. It's a big deal! And while we're huge proponents of collecting […]

Large Art: When to Hang It And Where to Buy It

Art can transform a room, adding personality, depth, color, character, and more! Equally important to what you hang in your home is the size of what you hang. Gallery walls have been all the rage for some time, and while I love a gallery wall moment, I think it's nice to switch up how we […]

Hanging Fine Art in the Kitchen

I'm so grateful that things found in a kitchen can be so function and beautiful--whether you're using objects like copper pots and pans, wooden boards, bowls of fruit, or plates on display. A crock of wood spatulas. Mortar and pestles. Even every day dishes on display warm a kitchen. I even love the idea of […]

How to Display ANY Digital Art on Your Frame TV (and a few spectacular art options!)

This week we're really focusing on putting the family room back together and every step feels monumental. The space, which is above our garage and just up the back staircase from the kitchen, and at the end of the hall from the girls' bedrooms, has become the central location for our family to be together […]

New DIY Art for the Living Room!!

Sources I loved the framed trees on the mantle in the living room, but for the sake of simplifying in preparation to sell, I thought one large canvas would be better to really show off the scale of the fireplace. Large art can be expensive so I decided to tackle this one myself. I'd thought […]

An Impromptu serving board gallery wall in the kitchen (And more ideas for unconventional gallery installations!)

At one point I hung a little asymmetrical art gallery to disguise some wall pimples on this wall going into our kitchen from the front-entry hallway. Well, recently I stole THAT art (and more) in order to hang the art gallery of my dreams in our bathroom. It didn’t really matter because this wall was […]

A Family Photo Gallery Wall in the Upstairs Hall

This post is sponsored by Framebridge. Our upstairs hallway has been begging for art since, well, we moved in. I knew I wanted to fill the whole hallway with family pictures eventually — a true memory lane. But I decided to take it one segment at a time and start with this portion in between […]

How to Look At, Collect, and Decorate with Abstract Art

Lately, we've been moving the art around in our house a lot. We moved the Kader Boly "Mirgration" piece from the hallway to the dining, and the Victor Ryan "Midnight II" piece from the mantle to the hallway.

Painting Over Canvas Art: An Easy Abstract DIY

I recently bought a canvas print at Target based solely on the frame. I loved the ornate, traditional gold — and at $16, it was a steal (even if it was just for the frame alone). I wasn’t wild about the folksy-looking portrait within but was inspired at the thought of painting over it. Before […]
