Well, i’ve decided it’s time for a change, imagine that.

I purchased everything for my original gallery wall at a thrift store spending only $13.00 total.

It did the trick for a while, but I always planned on changing it up.

I’ve decided to go all white.

Can you ever go wrong with white frames? I don’t think so.

I purchased all the frames from Ikea. 

I must admit, I am completely obsessed with Ikea’s ODBY Frames, I love the ribbed edge and the mats are pure white, unlike the other frames.

I still need to add several more frames, but I think this is a good start.

I am hoping to fill each frame with a DIY creation.

More on that later this week!

Do you have any great DIY art projects I should know about?

I love zebra rugs in interiors.

Especially in children’s rooms and nurseries.

They add perfect amount of color, pattern, and texture.

One of my clients is selling a brand new 5′ x 8′ brown faux zebra rug for $350.00, originally sells for $400.00.

The company sent the wrong color and wants to charge her a big restocking fee, boo!

If you are interested, email me!

I absolutely love Urban Outfitters home decor line.

It is packed full of style, color, pattern, and unique pieces.

One of my favorite things to do is design spaces for children.

Wouldn’t this be a fun room for a teen?

1.2.3.4.5.6.7

And you don’t have to break the bank achieving this look either.

You can get it all for $609.00!

Not too bad!

Remember how I was taking an online class from the Alt Channel?

Well it was last week and I loved it.

The class I took was called Growing Your Readership taught by Nicole Balch from Making It Lovely.

In the class we watched a live video feed of Nicole discussing blogging tips on growing your readership.

There was also a live chat session allowing the participants to talk during the class.

Nicole gave a short powerpoint, here are a few of my favorite tips she shared:

* Use your own pictures

*Create unique post lay-outs

*Share your life story

*Show-off your talents

*Make a schedule and stick to it

*Find a good rhythm

*Keep it consistent so your readers know what to look forward to.

* Embrace Facebook, Twitter, Instagram!

*Post a mixture of personal and professional 

At the end we got to ask her questions, it was awesome.

Not only was it packed full of good information, it was also a great way to connect with other bloggers.

I definitely think it was worth the $15.00 registration fee.

I am hoping to sign up for a couple more.

Have you had a chance to take a class yet?
