What better way to bring some interest to your wall space than adding wall art?! Handmade paintings, store bought creations and family photos, can bring your blank walls to life, adding a bit of personality to your home. Discover one way we updated our home with the help of custom frames showcasing black and white family memories in a living room gallery wall.

Full disclosure, prior to this room update, I had been working with Custom Picture Frames for a few months, developing content for their upcoming web blog. I was well aware of their attention to detail, especially when shipping, so I was happy they partnered with me on this project for my own home!

Nehil Home Tour: the "before" photos- living room | spotofteadesigns.com

As a quick update: this is what the living room looked like when we moved into our house almost a year and a half ago. Gross carpet, old fashion fan but with a nice neutral greige color.

Here is that same view today! Our living room is the heart of our home, where we spend the most time playing, watching tv and hanging out.  One side had a large couch with plenty of seating for our family and the other end includes some of the girls larger pretend play stations, like their mini kitchen and dress up station.

Nehil HOme Tour - 6 months after purchasing | spotofteadesigns.com

This is a photo from 6 months ago with a large empty wall over the couch and the more greige color paint color that came with the house. I thought this large empty wall was the perfect space for a gallery wall with some family photos.

Before taking the plunge into gallery wall life, I created a faux version using kraft paper shown to the size I wanted and used painter’s tape to hang it up. We lived with that for about a week or two to make sure we were happy with the size, position and amount in this space. It was a hit!

I was able to order 6 identical Noir Classique style frames with a single smooth white mat and non-glare acrylic front.  I’ve always admired the look of those chunky borders around black and white photos, but had yet to try it in our home so I’m happy I got to!

THIS is how my package arrived. They include cardboard, zip tie straps and bubble wrap to make sure nothing is sliding around within the packaging.

I’ve gotten many orders from them before and have yet to have anything arrive broken or chipped! They also tape the hanging components to the back, but not with a super sticky glue that leaves a residue. Bravo to an online company who puts careful attention to this important aspect of the consumer experience!

I ordered (6) 8×10” matte prints at Snapfish and trimmed them to fit the 8×8” frames I ordered.

The photos feature our family’s history: marriage, baby 1, baby 2, the girls at their first joint birthday party, last year’s first family photoshoot, and finally a sisters as best friends shot. Derek and I spent a pretty penny for photos at our wedding and only have ONE hung in this house so it was a great excuse to print more!

I figure I’ll be able to update and swap these photos down the road, but love what’s in there now.

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a #fri Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a #fridayintroductions so here it goes!
.
I'm Tara. 🙋‍♀️
.
I prefer M&Ms to "fancy" chocolate brands, room temperature water to ice cold, and Gerber daisies to roses. 🌺
.
I love browsing at stores more than buying, am always a sucker for a play on words, and I love me a google doc spreadsheet for just about anything. 🤓
.
According to my hubby who has known me almost half my life, I am not a fan of loud air noises (fans/wind etc), water blasted on high, or closing drawers/cabinets fully. 🙈 
.
I also don't drink coffee or tea (despite my brand name!) and at 39 years old, am currently on the hunt for cute adult pjs vs wearing the old tshirts from high school to bed. 
.
My girls share a birthday 2 years apart (#nehilbirthdaytwins). Yes they love it now because they don't know any different and they pretty much share friends anyway so we just do one party a year! 
.
Thanks for following along with my feed full of crafts, parties, home decor and parenting. 
.
Leave me a comment and let me know where you're from! I'm a Jersey girl, born, raised and raising!

I know many think of it as the twisted backdrops for parties in the 80s, but I've used it in lots of other ways! How do you like the black crepe paper spiderweb I made for this Spiderman party I styled a few years back?

Yesterday I got my 2nd shot of Pfizer at one of those mega vaccination sites and was thoroughly impressed at how smoothly it ran and how well behaved and patient all the attendees were. Go science!

I haven't styled many parties outside mostly becau I haven't styled many parties outside mostly because of the elements in NJ, but I fondly look back at this camping themed one styled at our last house. The green trees in back were the perfect backdrop for this outdoor adventure!

Swipe for some ideas that would be great for a great outdoors themed party or a themed get together at the campground this summer!

Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buy Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buyer and supporter! When trying to figure out what to put in these frames in my new bathroom, I debated about designing something myself. After a quick search through Etsy I found @ateliercartouche and fell in love with Jennifer's watercolor style botanical prints!
.
I reached out about a custom size for the #gifted @custompictureframes frames I already owned and Jennifer worked with me to create a custom order that was easy for me to print and frame at home. I LOVE how they bring life into this space and I highly recommend her shop for digital art for your home!
