The Start of a Gallery Wall

This post brought to you by Leviton. All opinions are 100% mine.

Every day I stare at the same wall about a zillion times a day. It's directly across from my kitchen island where we spend a good part of the day, so I decided to use that space to create a gallery wall of photos and artwork. I figure that if I have to constantly look at it, I might as well dress up the space with things that make me happy.

I spent a couple of weeks hunting down a frame that would accommodate the non-standard size of my new Katie Daisy art print, but as soon as I hung my lovely new artwork on the wall I couldn't help but be distracted by those ugly light switches!  I certainly don't want to waste my time creating a wall full of whimsical frames and bright cheery colors only to be overshadowed by those dingy plates that stick out like a sore thumb!

Luckily for me, Leviton has come out with Renu, a new line of switches, wall plates and dimmers in 20 different designer colors! I was so excited to discover that they offer switches in a Pebble Gray color that will match my family room walls perfectly. They also offer yellow Corn Silk that would be fantastic in my kitchen, a Granny Smith Apple green that would be a fun contrast to the turquoise walls in my boys' bedroom, and Sea Spray that would look lovely in my bathroom!

No need to paint = no mess, which is always an added bonus when trying to convince my hubby that I've added something new to his "Honey Do" list. When I told him that I want to change out our switches and plates to Renu switches, he had nothing but great things to say about how nice they look and how easy they are to install...he's an electrical contractor, so he knows what he's talking about!

Glad you could find a frame for the non-standard size print, Heidi! It looks beautiful!

Thank you so much for blogging & purchasing art from my shop :)

Thanks, Katie! I LOVE it (and it's going to be surrounded by family photos and a couple of framed 5x7 cards of yours too!)! I still have dreams of a pretty vintage oval frame with it, but this one is working great for now :)

Now how cool is this! And this is so funny Heidi- I have been thinking this same thing about doing a gallery wall on this one blank wall I have..just this week in fact! Great product up there- I am liking it!!
