Gallery Wall With Vintage Embroidery Hoops
Yes, I used embroidery hoops to create an instant gallery wall!
My office redo is almost done. When Don and Landon were in Washington for three days last week, I decluttered and organized the office, added the big pinboard to one side of the wall, and created this gallery wall on the other side.

Vintage mason jars, rustic enamel ware, ironstone, farmhouse signs, well-loved linens, cottage decor…
The Country Living magazine features all of this and more, and their pages are always full of wonderful inspiration. Reading Country Living is one of those little pleasures for me.
