Art Wall Inspiration

Happy Wednesday everyone! It is the middle of the week, and I for one am sure looking forward to the weekend. But before the weekend gets here I wanted to share some recent inspiration for decorating your home. I have always been a big fan of framing photographs and having different pieces of art in a home. I always loved homes that had walls solely dedicated to framed family pictures or stairways filled with pictures. I have come across a few images that portray this art wall idea perfectly. I think an art wall can serve so many purposes, distracting from that big TV, adding extra pop's of color, and adding a personal touch to your home. For my home, I fall under the first purpose, distracting from our big TV! As of right now I have two framed paintings above our TV, but have always imagined a great art wall surrounding the TV. Hopefully this is something I can start to tackle, especially with the help of some of these inspirational images below. Enjoy!



                                        

                                    
                                        


     
                        


Investment Piece: Purses



When it comes to investment pieces, I am a firm believer in spending a little more on quality items. I think this can be different for everyone. Some of you might think an investment piece is good shoes, high end makeup or quality jewelry. Depending on your lifestyle and what you need for your everyday, I think purses can be added to this investment list. Last year I took the plunge and finally bought a good quality leather purse, and... I think it changed me forever! So recently I have been pining away to buy another purse, well two actually! I am in desperate need of a new crossbody purse, this is the purse I use in my every day to day. Needless to say my current one is just not measuring up anymore. And secondly I need a more polished and elegant black shoulder purse. Therefore here are my picks for crossbody purses and shoulder purses (I had to add the brown Zara Braided Shopper because I am obsessed with it!). Hopefully I can again make the plunge and maybe have two nice new purses by the end of summer!
