Lately, my studio decor projects have been taking a backseat priority-wise. I know I want to tackle my gallery wall next to my dining table and I have a grand vision of how beautiful and {Pinterest}-worthy it will hopefully be. However, a couple of roadblocks: the idea of hammering into my wall gives me anxiety over whether the pictures will be level and the lack of time to hunt for gallery wall photos. So as a result, my lovely pictures and frames are patiently leaning against my wall and in fact, staring at me as I type this post.
On my way home last night, I brainstormed possible gallery wall additions, obviously with a budget in mind. I realized the answer was right in front of me: greeting cards!
I know snail mail is a rarity but I love opening my mail box and seeing something other than a bill or a takeout menu. I love to pick out cards and peruse the clever sayings and beautiful images…so why not use them as decor?
My favorite card brand is {Rifle Paper Co.} because they are whimsically chic. Remember my motivational {zebra to do notepad}? Yup, the genius of Rifle was behind that design!
After much thought as to my {cottage glam} decor, I am opting for these cards:
Peonies | Pearl | Bees | Wellies
The peonies and wellies both remind of a garden and I can just picture the wellies lined up outside a cottage door next to a garden full of peonies. Plus, peonies are one of my favorite flowers! The hunter green of the wellies matches nicely with the peony leaves and green accents on my couch pillows.
I used to be a solidly silver girl but now I catch myself favoring gold. {I love gold as an accent color} and think the bees and oyster’s golden hues add a real pop to the otherwise natural color scheme. And could I really not have pearls featured in my decor? : )
