instalove #fifthhousegallery

Hey friends and happy Tuesday!  The hubs and I had a wonderful weekend in San Antonio.  I can’t wait to tell you all about our time there!  But since the kids were out of school yesterday for the holiday I’m moving a little slow for a Tuesday……because it feels more like a Monday.  Cry me a river right? 

Anyhow, today I’m officially kicking off an idea I’ve had swirling around in my head for a while now.  I’ve been thinking of starting a new instagram account for such a long time……you know, because what I need most in my life is more social media……where’s the sarcasm font?  Anyhow, I’ve long thought it would be fun to have an account focused on my love of art and gallery walls.

This floral beauty was painted by mom, and I just got it back from the framer’s at Hobby Lobby.  Unfortunately for me I didn’t inherit her art skills, but I did inherit her love of art.  I love discovering and sharing new artists!  I also love seeing how others use and display art in their homes……nothing adds more personality to a home than art………..hence the birth of FifthHouseGallery.  I’ll still be posting to my main instagram account OurFifthHouse where I will continue to share design updates at our new house and a bit of life behind the scenes…….

but over at FifthHouseGallery I’ll be featuring artists, showcasing vintage art pieces/finds, and sharing ways to display art in your home.

This is where I’d love for you all to join in the fun!  Every week I’ll be featuring favorites from whatever that week’s theme is.  This week is all about gallery walls.  So show me your gallery walls using #fifthhousegallery for a chance to be featured.

  • Carmel, I was feeling very grump tonight to say the least. Then I read this post and saw your Mother's beautiful painting and just Smied. That's it … I smiled. Good luck and so excited for the up coming Instagram ?

  • I see that you have Mr. Owita's Guide to Gardening on your book list. I wanted you to know that the author and Mr.Owita were from Roanoke where I have lived for the past 10 years. It was such an inspiring book.

  • Love 🙂 I have three different gallery walls in my house.. I love them all! They seem to have become super popular recently, but I have had them in my houses for years! I'm now following your gallery ig account!

  • What a beautiful painting; the colors are so vibrant and cheerful. I enjoy art so much that I don't have enough wall space to display them that I find myself changing pieces out through out the swasons.

  • I'm super confused, what is the point of this blog except for you to photograph your seemingly idilic house, family and average organizational skills? Most blogs I've come across have a bit more substance to them and slightly less "Look at my great life" Vibe.. I must be missing something.. I'll read it over again..

  • Hi Unknown, I'm not trying to give off a "look at my great life" vibe, although I do feel blessed and appreciate every bit of the life I live. I blog about diy/design so yes, there are lots of house decor pictures here as this is really just an online journal where I like to share my decorating adventures. I'm not sure how much substance I can add to a post about hot glueing fabric to make curtain panels. 😉 The great thing about blogs…..is that just like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get…..and there's something out there to suit everyone's taste.
