Third Time's the Charm, right?

Pin It

At least that's what they say. However you put it, this is my third hit at updating my photo gallery and it is definitely my favorite!

I started this project back in 2011 (wow!) and have changed it slightly I think 3 times now. (Why can't I just leave things alone?) You know how you change just one little thing and then, the next little thing needs to change to make the first little thing even better? Well, you get what I'm saying.

That was the case with this picture gallery. It started out like this:

This was the first version of my photo gallery and I was pretty happy with it!

Then I changed the inside color to a darker grey which gave it more pop and I added a little decorative element to the top.

Of course I changed the pictures up slightly and squeezed in more of them!

But then I decided to paint the walls the same grey that was inside the gallery frame (cause I'm into grey now...who knew?) which led to less 'pop' but no time to change it again.

So a couple weeks ago I got out the paint from the dining room, took down the photos (dusted them...whoo!) and painted the back with the navy from the dining room. Updated the picture with recent family photos and added a silver metallic to the decorative thing-a-magig and I'm done.


Third time is the charm, right? We'll see.

East Coast Architecture


This summer we were blessed to take a 10 day vacation, six days of which were spent on the East Coast in the Gloucester, Massachusetts area. Beautiful quaint sea harbor towns and even more gorgeous architecture!

I. Love. Arches.
 
Wouldn't you just love living in a cute little house like this?


 
Ohlala, the curves!
 

 
Look at the detail on those arches!
Well you get the idea! I am soon going to debut a wood plank wall that features black and white architecture photos from our past few years vacation trips. Which ones do you think I should use?
