My lovely office art wall

In my old layout, my desk was up against this wall. Now, it's a collage of pretty art.  A few tips for hanging picture collages:

-Measure the wall space you'd like to cover, then lay out your pictures on the floor within the measured area. When you are satisfied, take a picture with your camera for easy reference. This definitely helps if you have to stop in the middle of your task.

-Use a level to make sure everything is straight, then place a dime size amount of Earthquake putty to the back of the frame and push it against the wall. It won't damage your paint and your pictures will stay nice and straight.

I also relocated my chandelier to the center of the room. It definitely has more impact here!

I love this French artist... her pieces are like bits out of an enchanted fairytale. This pair of prints, "Happily" and "Ever after" were inspired by the artist and her fiance's upcoming marriage. Prints sold here.

The map of Paris (upper left) is actually a roll of very nice quality decorative paper. I found it at Aaron Brothers for $4. What a steal! I loved these sleep masks, and thought they'd look nice framed in a shadow box. I searched forever, trying to find the perfect style. Then I found these brown & pink ones for $4 each at Tuesday Morning. They are designed by Martha Stewart, but they must have been on clearance for a while because I've never seen them in a craft store before.

Just below my picture wall sits my side table. I picked up this whimsical little table clock at the Crown & Crumpet gift shop in San Francisco on my bachelorette weekend. Sadly, the ticker ticks awfully loud, but I enjoy it just the same. (Bottom right) I pulled these tiny frames from the Michael's dollar bin. Too small for most photos, I removed the backings & simply hung the frames.

And of course, another wall decal! My own mini eiffel tower...

Au revoir! More to come!
