But there is one downside and that is that I’ve started to run out of wall space in my apartment!
Then it recently dawned on me that creating a “gallery” wall in the living room would solve that problem and give me a way to spice up the most lackluster room in the apartment!
So after a few weeks of planning and prepping, the revamp of the living room is finally complete. I love how the gallery wall looks and how much it changes the feel of the entire place!
“Before” – the TV wall feels a bit empty
“Before” – the sofa seems to be floating in front of the big, white wall
“After” – the art, rather than the TV, becomes the focus and coincidentally compliments the colors of the newly styled bookcase
“After” – the gallery wall of art ties all of the furniture together
I love the mix of art medias – from tile to silkscreen, etchings, photos and posters
Rhino Robbie helped fill in a small gap of white wall
The Fiery Furnaces raccoon print was taken from the book “Gig Posters”
I love all the arrangement of the art! :)

I missed this post, I love what you have done ith your living room. I like all those arts and prints. I should get some for my place too, but i tend to get bore of everything very easiky so i can't choose what to hang on my walls. I love the raccoo too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the wonderful comments, you guys made my day :)
ReplyDeleteErika - I am still working through the Happiness Project and should be doing another post shortly with an update on my progress. Still on Month 1 though so I'll be slow going through the book :)
Reese - it didn't take as long as you would think! My trick is to lay everything out on the floor first so you can get your arrangement set before starting to hang. I also eyeball most of the spacing so that saves time too :)
Bobbi - I can understand getting bored of things quickly, but I can't imagine living in a white box so the art must go up :) This change has helped a lot though and the apartment feels 'fresh and new' right now! Hopefully it lasts for awhile :)
