Gold Frames, Botanicals & Photo Mats I first located these frames when I created a botanical gallery wall in our guest room ( tour here and photos below).  Since then, I've added them to almost every corner of our home.  Some have botanicals like those in our hearth room, and some have photos like the gallery wall going up our stairs.  I haven't always been confident in my wall hanging skills - trying to determine scale, mats and genre is an acquired skill on which I'm still working.  But I have managed to create a couple of corners in our home that just work and work because of the framed prints.

Two years ago, I created a gallery of photos going up the staircase of our home.  It was quite a project- but it's one of our favorite spots in the entire house.  I made it by Gold Rub-n-buffing every random frame I owned.  They are different sizes and kinds of frames mixed in with my favorites that I carry in my store (restocking soon!). After getting sort of used to the photos that were there, I found myself not really noticing them anymore.  I decided to give the area some new life this season by grouping our favorite photos from beach and seaside vacations + paintings + sketches + new Whale Prints ($4-8) from my online collection . The Whales look best with the French Cream Mats for a tone on tone look. This post is sort of bad timing, because I'm currently out of my favorite Gold Leaf Frames, but they will be back next month!
