In The Making

July 24, 2015

Marianne-Brandi-and-Keld-Mikkelsen-Gallery-Wall-outside-CopenhagenTodd and I are celebrating our two year wedding anniversary on Monday and it’s amazing to think of the memories, milestones, adventures and photos we have in that short amount of time. Putting together a gallery wall has been something I’ve wanted to do since we got our wedding photos back but a home remodel, traveling, life and just plain procrastination kept prolonging my project. We recently moved a few things around in our living room and a large blank wall now awaits. I’ve been gathering art wall inspiration and one thing I definitely wanted was a mix of photos, art and objects. When Aaron Brothers offered to help me frame something creative for the wall I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Next step, choosing the frame and matting from the over 400 options. I thought that would be the hardest part but an expert at Aaron Brothers chatted with me and found something that was exactly my style.  minnie mortimer LA home via Vogue 4aaron-brothers-frame-cihtIt came back just the way I envisioned it with lots of negative space, simple and subtly antique. Right now its hanging all on its own as the start to my gallery wall. I’m a little stumped at the moment has to designing my gallery wall but stay tuned as I’ll be sharing the finished result!

Also, be sure to leave a comment I’ll be giving away a $200 Aaron Brothers gift card to one lucky winner. Tell me what you would frame!
