Where’d you get that? IKEA!

A handful of big furniture pieces in our home were IKEA DIYs, but you’d never know with a few tweaks and a coat of paint. Do you have a favorite?

Proof that a rental bathroom can still get the good stuff. 🫧

This little bath in our garden unit was ready for a refresh. We nixed the tub in favor of a walk-in shower, which gave us the perfect excuse to play with tile samples!

The winning combo? Mohawk’s Sandrio Dark Green Hexagon Mosaic floor tile paired with the soon-to-launch Authentique Earth in Weathered White + Silversmith wall tiles (hitting this summer!). The checkered border, curb, and shower niche make it feel extra custom!

And as landlords, we love knowing Mohawk tile gives us the durability and waterproof performance we want in a rental.

If only it were that simple! This is the gallery wall formula we always come back to.👇 🖼️💕⁠ Comment FRAME for a link to all the frames we used!
⁠
1. Gather everything you can! Frames, prints, photos, even things you’re not sure about yet. Then start pairing what you have and filling in the gaps as needed. If purchasing new frames, I like mixing materials and finishes so it never feels too one-note. (Think: White frames as a base, brass or silver as a metal, and a sprinkle of color)⁠
⁠
2. Map out the layout... ON THE FLOOR. This part is longer than the hanging itself, but take your time and have fun with it! I try different combinations until it feels right and ask myself things like:⁠
⁠
– Are the frames balanced in size and orientation?⁠
– Are too many of the same color frames clustered together?⁠
– Can I sneak in a found object or something dimensional for interest?⁠
⁠
3. Keep the spacing closer than you think. Like, much closer. I stick to about 2–3 inches between frames. Too much space and it stops feeling like a cohesive gallery wall and starts feeling like random art on a wall.⁠ ⁠
⁠
4. Start in the center and work out. I mark the center point of the wall and my floor layout, then build out from there. After that first anchor piece, I rarely need to measure again and just follow the layout.⁠ ⁠
⁠
5. Make sure it stays put! I use two screws whenever possible, and I always stick Gorilla mounting putty on the bottom corners when it’s not. Once it’s up and level, I never want to mess with askew frames. ⁠
