Dislplaying Art and Photos Creatively

Walls are the perfect location to display your memories, your art, family photos, even your kid's artwork! But sometimes these areas get over looked or they are just too large of a space to work with...well here are some DIY examples to get you over your fear of hanging art correctly and creatively! Enjoy!


 Black and white are the classic color combo and this is because it is easy to add any color to them! These floating ledges are prefect for many various frame sizes and you can rearrange easily when you want to update your decor or photos! The overlapping frames give the idea of chaos but the colors give the feeling of order.



 This grouping of single photograph is a great way to display your most recent photos! Easily changeable, and if you have photos with a white boarder if gives a gallery effect.



 Don't think you have a well balanced group of artwork? Think again! Scale and balance are what makes this display work. Centered on the wall and making smaller groupings to balance each other works wonders.



  Bands of flat canvas strips hung in a grid formation lets you displace your kid's more recent works of art! Use metal clips to hang the art! This will also allow your kids to hang the art themselves!



Evently spaced out, mixed frames are always a great choice for a home. It gives a collected feeling. Also very east to continue to add more frames as time goes on.

I recycle, and so should you!

So everyone talks about recycling junk or unwanted items  well here a few ideas that stood out to me. Very fun and playful! Sometimes you just need that one piece to give a sense of playfulness or just to let people know you don't take life to seriously! Enjoy!





So if you are like me you might like beer or soda out of glass bottles. Something 
with awesome colorful caps! I created a few pieces of art out of the caps i had 
collected but never thought to do it on furniture!



Still have your old records and turntable? Why not turn your old records into a table?! 
This custom-made piece is not only fashionable, but functional! You can showcase 
your taste in music as well as your taste in design (not to mention your good taste in recycling!).



Mission: Antique Impossible. Ok, so maybe I’m no Tom Cruise/Ethan Hunt, but if I could 
find sixteen equally-sized wooden crates on my next antique shopping trip, I would 
definitely consider myself a secret agent of design. This arrangement is absolutely beautiful! 
It provides storage and shelving with a rustic yet elegant feel. 


These comfy cubes can be a great addition to a kids’ or game room, or can even serve as an ottoman. 
Love them! 


Boris Bally crafted these sleek and modern seats out of street signs.  Because of their bright colors and strong metal, they are stylish and durable enough for everyday use. Now, I’m sure Boris Bally doesn’t encourage theft of public property, but does encourage recycling, reducing, and reusing: crucial practices of living an environmentallyconscious life (and a style-conscious one, at that!).
