If you follow me on pinterest, you may have noticed my recent pinning of different gallery walls and art work. It comes in waves, but I feel like our picture wall is always something I’m tweaking. When we first got married, I naturally printed off lots of wedding photos and composed a gallery wall full of them. I knew this wouldn’t always be the case though, as I eventually (and currently) find myself searching for more art to fill our walls. It just feels like the grown up thing to do, know what I mean?
The challenge has been mixing modern and vintage pieces because while I really appreciate both, I find that there’s a fine art to juxtaposing the two. I’ve realized I like clean frames, whether they are black, white, wood, or gold. Yes, gold is it’s own category entirely. But every so often I look at a vintage inspired home full of paintings in more textured wood or baroque copper frames, and I have to admit, I kinda dig them.

Since it stresses me out to have too much going on in our home, I’m leaning towards unifying our art in simple frames, but mixing up the actual content within them, drawing from both modern and vintage platforms.
Pinterest pulls through in times like these, when I’m having a tough time deciding what direction to go in. It helps to just pay attention to what I am repeatedly pinning, to see what I am visually drawn to the most. And the facts don’t lie, because I heart these walls :)

How about you? Are you into gallery walls/blank walls/ or larger statement art pieces?
