Sometimes I get to be at beautiful moments like this. I don’t think I can say much else about this amazing family.

Welcome to the world, Brighton. You are surely loved beyond measure.

Display Thursday: Clusters

Posted on Mar 22, 2012

Decorating a home can be so overwhelming and daunting. I definitely wish I had the funds for a visit from Emily Henderson a lot of the time. But Pinterest helps like nothing else! Even going to my friends’ homes and seeing how they have put things together helps. I have a wall of plates in the works and it looks pretty crappy right now but after seeing a my friend Ali’s plate wall I am re-inspired!

Clusters of photographs and other artwork are a great way to build on an existing collection or kickstart a gallery of images in your home. Sometimes its a good idea to think of your home as a gallery. Look at each wall and see what will suit it best!

Love this space with the large painting in the middle and the four square pieces around it!

I love the linear nature of this cluster. It really moves the eye along a space. This would be fantastic on a wall that moves from one room to another to join the two. I like lots of photos in hallways but you want to choose small images for hallways. As a rule of thumb you stand twice the distance of the diagonal of the image. So large pieces are harder to view at a distance in a narrow hallway.
This is how my plate wall will go, clustered around a window. Another great way to move the eye from one place to another. Connecting them with similar items works wonders! You don’t have to have huge images on your wall to fill up the space. Use larger mats for some frames and fill the frame with the images in others!

Do you have spots in your home that you want to put clusters in? I’ve got a few and I’m still trying to decide on the perfect images!

Spring has Sprung

Posted on Mar 20, 2012
Last week I was sweatin’ bullets on our walks and the last couple days I needed gloves! Spring, stop playing with my heart! We’ve had blossoms on the trees in my neighborhood for a few weeks now but it is officially springtime across the nation. 

What are you doing to celebrate spring!?

Featured: Something Turquoise!

I was recently introduced to this darling blog, Something Turquoise, carefully curated by the lovely Jen! She loves DIY and great photography and of course, turquoise. So you know I’m gonna love her too! She contacted me about featuring some of my work and I knew Steph and Dan‘s wedding (with teal accents) would be right up her alley.

Check out the full blog post here!

Yay for sharing the love!

Flip!

Posted on Mar 19, 2012

This is pretty much my dream come true. Why have a photobooth when you can have a Flip booth?!

   

It’s a mobile animation studio that turns your guests time in front of their photobooth into a little flip book! Perfect for a favor and a way to capture all of your guests on your wedding day. Dang I wish I had had this at my wedding.

But good news, you can!

And the Winners Are!
