We've been in this house nearly two years now, and somehow I've barely managed to get anything on the walls. Having Nat's family over for Thanksgiving was definitely inspiration to change that, at least in the main living areas!
I've been DIYing lots of decor lately, starting with this awesome Himmeli wreath. You can find the tutorial for it over at Vintage Revivals. Her instruction video was a little confusing in places, but this post helped me a lot when I got stuck.
The finished wreath has found a home in the corner of my dining room for now (after a few coats of bronze spray paint). Those hexes are made from Washi tape and were super easy! Tutorial here. I had originally planned on continuing them over onto the adjacent wall, but some of them are already peeling up (&^%!# textured walls, I hate them and want to burn them with fire), so I haven't done it yet. Ideally I'd like to get some floating shelves up on that wall, but that requires $$ for supplies. Wood is expensive, yo.
The mantel got a little refresh - I dug out some printing press drawers I got at Maryland Sheep and Wool, oh, 3? 4? years ago? About damn time I incorporated them into some decor, haha. This setup will probably be short-lived, since Christmas decor (!!) is starting to make its way into the house.
Also, that deer - omfg. Being obsessed with both deer and brass right now, I was super thrilled to find it at a local thrift shop for only six bucks!
I was able to create a lot of awesome little gallery/vignette spaces around the living and dining room with things I've acquired over the last few months - both through my own thrift/clearance hunting and the lovely Amberly. Thriftstracted Club is basically amazeballs and if you haven't checked it out, you should! She curates little boxes of awesome based on a monthly theme and a survey she has you fill out, and I haven't been disappointed with a single one.
This awesome hex is a wire bowl I scored at Home Goods but couldn't find a good spot for. Love it on the wall!
Hopefully I'll have a Christmas post to share soon! I'm completely revamping my tree this year, almost entirely new ornaments, most of them DIY. It's taking a bit longer than expected, but I think it's going to be worth it! Here's a little sneak peek:
