Gallery Wall

I'm so awful when it comes to photographs. I take them. They end up on my computer. But I definitely suffer from one of the problems of the digital age in that I never print my photos or make albums out of them. So recently I took it upon myself to create a gallery wall. By recently I mean I started collecting the frames from IKEA and various estate sales about a year ago and have very gradually... Read more

I like drama but more in the form of high contrast than in bold color. So I did a little photoshopping to see what our living room... Read more
