Ladyplace: The Making of a Living Room Gallery Wall

So if you recall from my post a few days ago, here is what we were left with after rearranging my living room furniture. An arrangement that made sense, but a very sad, very empty wall above the sofa.

So, in true Alaina fashion, I did what I've done time and time before... collected my art, grabbed a hammer and some nails, and started banging holes in the wall.

Well, it was slightly more organized...

I had all of my art stacked in various piles around my tiny new apartment, waiting for a permanent wall home...  I laid a number of the pieces out and realized two common themes: 

1. black and white. 2. Paris. 

Sounds like a good plan for my main living space if you ask me. So I puzzle pieced them together until it made sense. Then I eyeballed/made some rudimentary measurements and started hanging...

a few here...

a few there...

still need to fill in the gaps...

There she is!

The sparkles are the sun's reflection on my disco ball. Naturally.

I bought these vintage and antique silhouettes in Charleston. 

I think they give it that something special don't you?

Here's the whole thing in motion...

gif's are fun.

The pups are pleased they match the room.
