This weekend was spent adding a couple more new items to one of my client’s home.

Entry table lamps arrived:

{Can you find Jon in the picture? }

Mirror for the master bedroom also arrived:

{When you have a King size bed make sure you fill the space properly. We went with 3 euro shams and 32″ diameter mirror and help make the the King sized bed look right at home.}

Baby room got a custom fix:

{In old NY apts the trim work and walls aren’t always in the best condition. In order to hide it a bit we built a padded cornice and then added some fretwork trim. It was stunning, but time consuming. All that fretwork equals lots of measuring and math skills!}

Gallery wall also went up:

{Sorry for the fuzzy picture. I used my Nikon D60, but it was dark and this was the best shot out of the bunch. 🙁  }

A great way to figure out spacing on your gallery wall is to mark an area on the floor with the same spacing and play around with the arrangement.

{Once you have the perfect layout make sure to take a picture so you remember what goes where.}

To figure out where to place our nails on the wall we started at the middle and worked our way out. Before hanging a new frame we would flip it over and measure from the bottom of you gallery wall border to where the hook was.

Now all you need to do is measuring that same distance from the actual gallery wall border, hammer in the nail, and hang frame.

Super easy and fast.

What were up to this weekend?

P.S. My mom and sister are vacationing in Cape Town, South Africa this week. Anyone ever been? Is there is a must have item that I need to tell them to pretty please find for me and bring home? Don’t worry baby elephant is already on the list. 🙂
