My Home in Progress...

So far, I've added some new art over my new dining room table. I'd like to add more down below and obviously in the EMPTY frame. In the meanwhile, I'll be searching for more art... Currently three of the pieces on this wall are from my MadeByGirl Etsy shop. Any suggestions? Any other items I could add? Below is my sofa, (which I moved from my main living room into my family room). I got the two colorful cushions from Pier 1 Import, can you believe that?? They remind me of some of these Anthropologie cushions I wanted, but didn't want to spend $100 for! These were reasonable at $30-$40 each. I will keep updating & posting as I move along.

Inga said...

Man I love that sofa. I can't wait to redecorate!

Jennifer Ramos said...

Cassius,
Yes, I think I've seen the artwork before...will look at it again, Thanks for the Etsy links. : )

Jennifer Ramos said...

APT #34- I found the dining table at a consignment shop here in Vegas...and the sofa I found at a furniture store, here as well. The sofa is about 3 or 4 years old I think..but I had it covered up so it looks new!!

I like the empty frame. It's always waiting for something 3-d to be placed in it.

I love love love walls filled with artwork. Artwork is for walls, family photos are for counters & shelves.

Hello Jennifer! Love your blog and your artwork!

I wonder what your dining room art display would look like if arranged in Liza Giles-cluster-style. Check out this gorgeous photo from Elle Decoration (via Decor8).

Looks great! I love the empty frame as is as well.

Jennifer, I'm not sure if it your kind of style but I've just opened an Etsy store selling artwork and prints. If you'd like to take a peek you can find me here: http://ishandchi.etsy.com

Thanks! :)

Love it! I am in a rental place.. and I can only look longingly at all those frames and artworks on your wall.. I have some prints in my shop I can see up on that wall (might be a little bit biased though).. :)

gret said...

Hi there!

Dana said...

Aaaaaaaw it's gorgeous, I love it!!

I was thinking on hanging some Faffi drawings on my wall, I love them, I'll make a post about it later, I think you might like them :)

Pfeiffer Photos said...

Comfy looking sofa you have and the dining room is looking nice, too. Feel free to browse my Etsy shop for something, perhaps, to fill that empty frame of yours...

paisley peacock said...

looks fab...pier 1- wow- those are adorable!
how about a monogram/initial for that empty frame? i have a thing for monongrams/initials...they are all over my house!

Lane said...

loving your 'frame wall'! i like that im not the only one with miss-matched frames for a frame wall- ive been seeing a lot with all the same frames, but i love the organized 'clutter' if you can call it that!
looks fab sister!
oh.. and still ADORING your table/chair set!!

Miss Jo said...

i adore the art wall!

Julie at BV said...

Hi Jennifer,

Love what you did with your wall. since you asked for some suggestions, I have one. I think it's not a bad idea to consider living the empty frame as is and just add a small sculpture in the middle of it. I think it would add something unexpected to your already beautiful display.


I also could use some suggestions on my new bathroom decor I posted today in my blog.

jomygoodness said...

Everything looks fantastic... great eye on finding all the art, pillows, etc + making it work in your space. I think I want my home to look just like yours!

Gina said...

i love your artwork wall!

where do you buy all your frames? i have been having a hard time finding nice 8'10" ones.

Tina said...

oh your home is so gorgeous, it looks perfect to me :)

Alkemie said...

Your home looks absolutely gorgeous! Keep those photos coming :)

Cheers,

Karen O.

June rhymes with moon said...

I don't know if it bothers you, but to me that vent up near the ceiling reads as part of the composition and makes it look odd. Maybe that's just me :) If it were me, I would play with either adding one or two more small frames near the ceiling above the main group or adding one at a slightly bigger distance from the group in the lower left. That would help to incorporate (by adding above) or to counterbalance (by adding to the other side) the vent.

Or if you want to leave the grouping alone, the vent would blend in more if you painted it the same color as the wall.

so pretty and girlie and inspiring!
loving these changes!

Viv said...

That's a good suggestion to add a small sculpture to the middle of the empty frame. It would look great!

Un samedi... said...

vraiment trop belles ces photos hautes en couleurs et imprimés!!!!

Terri said...

where are each of the pillows from? gorgeous...

Lynne said...

Looks great. I bought a bird in a tree print last year from www.isoprint.etsy.com - the colours would work really well with what you've got here.

Jennifer Ramos said...

Thanks Biba... : )
nice of you!

Jennifer Ramos said...

Paisley PEACOCK:

That sounds like a cute idea...I heard a couple other suggestions as well..Will try and see what looks best. I have monogrammed letters arriving soon that spell love - will be placing them on my mantle. :)

Jennifer Ramos said...

JULIE:
Hmmm a sculpture, I never thought of that. I wouldn't know how it would stay up there...u?

Jennifer Ramos said...

GINA: Believe it or not, Most of those frames are bought at WALMART. I figured buying a ton of frames will drain your pockets...so the best thing to do is buy them inexpensive and paint them. I pick out the most ornate looking frames I find...Oh and I bout some at Michael's craft store as well...I think about 4 of them are from Michael's.

Jennifer Ramos said...

JUNE:
Haha I knew someone would mention the VENT.... YES, if course it bothers me. When I get around to it, I'll see if I can manage to find the paint for this wall. Its the paint that came with the home when I bought it....so it may be tough to get the exact color. For now, the vent is in the way...but I will add more frames around it to balance things out. You're right. :) Thanks!

Jennifer Ramos said...

TERRI, the cushions are from Pier 1 Imports...and from an Etsy shop called Feed The Dog- out of Australia.

Jennifer Ramos said...

Thanks Jill, I agree. ; )

Julie at BV said...

Hi Jennifer,

I mean a small sculpture that you could hand on a nail or even a small mirror would do it.

creativeenvy said...

uuuu, those colorful pillows are fabulous! i love them. that's pretty great you got such a deal on them. i definitely would have thought they were from anthro. it's all coming together great. good job!

divamom1717 said...

Where can I find Don't put off your happy life? I love it and need it in my life today

June rhymes with moon said...

Oh, of course it's always the paint you didn't buy that you need to match...I've been there. How about putting a frame around the vent? That would BLOW MY MIND. :)

Elizabeth said...

Wow! It's looking great! Love the art wall and the new pillows...

Hmmmm the vent is a bit too high I think...will have to re-examine it this weekend and see. Thanks!

Mila said...

Oooh, so unbelievably pretty! <3

I fell in love, very deeply, with that flowery cushion with the reindeer 'head/horns'(?) on it, that lies on the couch!
Have you made it yourself or did you buy it?

LOVE,

Mila.

Jennifer Ramos said...

thanks!

Jennifer Ramos said...

Hello Naomi,
I bought this table at a consignment shop near my home here in Nevada. They have a ton of cool items....and they sell them for much cheaper than reg. furniture shops. PLUS you can negotiate on the price a bit.... : )

Inma said...

Hello Jennifer!!
