Not Your Average Gallery Wall

While I object to anyone calling gallery walls "overdone," "passé," or "trendy," I do find myself drawn to these unconventional displays...
{Frame dozens of family photos in matching frames of different sizes and line them on shelves at eye level. The display is a unique alternative to hanging each frame individually and a delightfully modern complement to more ornate details like the chandelier, doors, and moulding.}
{Transform a plain jane hallway with framed portraits at every height. This option is for the collector who doesn't find a layered look too busy — and who has a few favorites that will get most of the attention!}

How do you display artwork and photographs in your home?

My Interior Life

I love sharing pretty outfits and inspiring interiors here on Design Darling but it's always nice to dig a little deeper and get personal. That's why I was so excited when the adorable Keely of Luxe + Lillies asked me to kick off her new series, My Interior Life. I'm sharing design inspirations, gift-giving guidance, and a lousy iPhone photo of my bedside table. Check out my interview here and stay tuned for more in the series — Keely's planned quite the line-up!

P.S. Do enter the Joss & Main $100 giveaway if you haven't already! I'll be randomly selecting the winner on Wednesday.

Business Casual

I'm in my favorite city this morning interviewing for a job with one of my favorite companies. I'm trying to play it cool but on the inside I'm completely shaking in my boots! I'm reminded of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do one thing every day that scares you." Hats off to you, Eleanor, and fingers tightly crossed for me! Do enter the ongoing Joss & Main giveaway if you haven't already and have a most delightful weekend!
