Surgery



Remember my beautiful sister, Gwen? She did a post {here} about her Dream Green Home. She does plan on keeping the series alive, but other things are taking precedent in her life right now. She's having a hip replacement surgery today. She's 27. And she's getting married in the beginning of October. I'd say she's got a lot going on and a lot on her mind. If praying is your thing, please send a quick one up for her today! She's a tough one and after several surgeries we're hoping this time is the charm for some hip relief!  

Love you sister and I'll be thinking about you all day!  
Call me when you wake up!

Gallery Walls & a Z Gallerie Purchase

There are a couple places in my house that I want to decorate via gallery wall. I love a good photo/art collage scattered about a wall in no particular form or fashion...

Love how these frames are grouped and draw attention away from the  tv.

Gorgeous gold chunky frames -- looove

Pretty white mats surround a gorgeous little mirror

Monochromatic all the way up... love this runner too

This gallery wall has a very eclectic feel to it... I like how it fills up the entire wall.

A variety of metals and sizes unified by rectangular shape and white mats. Love the scale.

Height and color  adds interest to an otherwise boring staircase

I've started collecting and accumulating things I'm drawn to and plan to put it all together at some point. I have been eying this adorable Labrador piece by Emily Burrowes for a while now and finally went to my local Z Gal to pick it up last night. Love that store... they have such chic furniture and accessories!
It will be the perfect addition to my currently imaginary gallery wall. Why? 
Because it closely resembles our little Sadie Gray... 

This photo was taken by my friend Candice when Sadie was just 9 weeks old {she'll be 2 this month!}

Such a sweet face!
