Just in case you missed it…Home Tour – Part One and Part Two.
My Favorite Room
{Right Now…}
I love our living room. It just makes me happy every time I see it.
Yes…another gallery wall. I told you I loved them! This one was fun to create. We went to Memphis last year. Starting about a month before we left, I checked Groupon and Living Social each day to see if there were any deals that we could use while we were there. I came across a deal for a photography session with Real to Reel Photography. I thought it would be a great souvenir from our trip. The pictures turned out AMAZING!! You can see a few of them on my “about me” page. I used these photos in my gallery, along with a few things that I made, some printables, and a couple of things that I bought. I smile when I see it and it reminds me how much I love my husband. I promise to share more details of this wall later.
I love Pottery Barn…what’s not to love, right? However, the pretty things that they sell are usually not in my budget so I improvise. I found the rug on Overstock.com and fell in love with the colors. I just had a hard time finding fabric that I liked that had the same colors. While browsing PB, I ran across some linens that would match perfectly. They had beautiful pillow covers in just the right colors, but if you shop PB you know they were pretty pricey. As I continued shopping, I saw that they had the same color and similar patterns in their table linens AND they were on clearance!! I purchased several napkins and a couple of placemats. By recovering pillows that we already had, I made EIGHT pillows for about $60!! I saved so much that I decided to splurge on the embroidered pillow. It was beautiful and only $29 on clearance. The little tan pillow with the flowers also came from PB clearance.
My mom gave me the sewing machine base and the rocker. I just painted some cedar fence pickets to create a table top on the sewing machine. The canvas on the table was a 10 minute project using a stencil. I bought both of the lamp shades in the room at Target for $5. I loved the shape, but they had navy ribbon around them and one of them had a stain. I removed the ribbon and hot glued some twine around them. Then to cover the stain, I made several burlap rosettes and hot glued them on. I love how they turned out!
I made the sunburst mirror using this tutorial.
Here are a few more pictures from around the room…

I love your style! That burlap lampshade is super cute. I just picked up a similar shade on clearance at Lowe's for 4 bucks. I think I may have to try your idea out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks, Kristin! I am going to share more about my gallery walls soon and hopefully do a tutorial on the burlap rosettes. Thank you for hosting a great party!
I love the sunburst mirror. Can't believe you made it! I cannot wait to create a gallery wall in our new house! Yours looks great!
Thanks, Jen! Go check out the tutorial for the sunburst mirror. You can buy shorter wood shims and it would make a great addition to your gallery wall!
Very pretty. I love that you put the mirror in between the two windows.
Thank you, Andrea! I took a peek at your blog. I love the stenciled wall in your dining room!
How lovely and creative! love the gallery wall! Stopping by from Say Hi Sunday!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by, Elizabeth!! I hope to post the details about my gallery walls soon!
VERY CUTE! We have the same sewing machine, sadly, sitting outside (no its not ours). But I have a mind to ask the owners if they mind my fixing it up!
Hi, Sara…Thanks! Go for it! Hopefully, they will let you have it. I fixed this one up for less than $5. If it's rusted, just spray it well with Rustoleum primer.
Looks gorgeous! You really have some great style going there. Very inspiring to me. I am a new follower visiting from Delicate Construction. Vicky from Mess For Less
Thank you, Vicky! I'll head over and check out your site now.
Your home is so pretty. I like the style you have created and how you managed it on a budget. Your personal handcrafted and artistic elements really make this room personal.
Thank you, Kim!! I love crafting and creating things and it's usually much cheaper than buying home decor items.
