Foyer Update: Paint by Number and Flea Market Finds Gallery Wall
I had posted a bit ago about a foyer of our split-level home I was having trouble decorating and painting. Well, I still have yet to paint (can't decide on a color) and the door and trim still needs to be updated but until all that happens I came up with a gallery wall idea that I'm very much liking. I put together some vintage paintings, prints, and vintage paint by numbers I had collected from thrift stores and flea markets the last few years and hung them on the wall going downstairs to the basement. I picked up a few bird cage hooks from Hobby Lobby (on clearance of course) to add some dimension. I've always been a sucker for old paintings and prints, whether they are of the sea, the outdoors, or cities, they just give a eccentric and homey feel. I have more to add and would like to cover that entire wall, I think they will look beautiful against a colored wall. I just enjoy the fact that when someone walks into my house they can go to a wall and get lost for a moment in various paintings or prints. It's almost like an art gallery without the million dollar paintings. ; ) Please check out my blog for more pics and inspirations.

I love that! I've been collecting Paint by Numbers for ages to do a similar gallery wall outside our laundry room. I'm a big horse girl so lots of mine are horses and farm scenes. So fun!!!! I love your inspiration pic as well, I've seen that one before and its just amazing.
