Taking Risks

Lately, I've been inspired by two things, deer skulls and gallery walls. Yes, skulls. But don't judge yet. I think you might see what I'm talking about after see you these beautiful rooms.

See? What did I tell you? Changed your mind now? They're quite the conversational pieces.Now my other obsession is gallery walls. I like the eclectic, yet cohesive look it gives to a room.

So where am I going with all of this? Hanging a skull in a room is a huge risk. It can either make a room look interesting, or it can make the room look awkward, and make your guests question, why in the world does this house have a dead animal's skull hanging in it? I decided to take the plunge. That's the great thing with decor. If you don't like it, it's easy to take down, and ta-da, quick fix.
I also decided to create a gallery wall, but on a smaller scale. Brandon's philosophy is less is more. He doesn't like to have too much on the walls, so actually, I was a bit worried he'd see my end product and veto it. I created two little clusters, and while I continue to change it, I'm happy with the end result for now. I'm sure tomorrow I'll take one of the pieces down and replace it with something else. Taking risks in my home is something that I get great joy out of. I know that if I'm not happy with my product, I'm not married to it, and I can start all over. Here are some photographs of my gallery wall and our new addition to the family, Mr. Skeletor.
