NEW DIRECTION

         

                   Dear readers, much time has passed and a lot of you have reached out via email wondering where I've been. Apologies for not posting an update sooner. I'm excited to share my current focus and new direction! My career has given me many opportunities that have ultimately ended up pulling me away from blogging, but allowing me to delve deeper into creative design. I am currently practicing residential design along with buying and merchandising for a retailer based out of Hawaii. My work has been so rewarding along with wonderfully progressing. Currently I am traveling 4-5 months out of the year for the job and I will be devoting my energy towards that role. I sincerely appreciate the support and encouragement during my time blogging and thank each and every one of you for making it a special and beautiful experience! Thank you for following along and best wishes to each one of you.

If you are interested in keeping up with my travel, happenings and work, you can find me frequently posting on instagram at, malloriejones_ . Would love to stay in touch with as many of you as possible! 

deepest gratitude,

6 GALLERY WALL TIPS

Use furniture to anchor and ground the look.

No hammer, no problem. Create a gallery wall on existing floating or built in shelves. It makes the look nearly effortless and easy to switch around.

Hang old with new. Absolutely using vintage frames with new modern frames is a-ok. Just the same it's fine to mix a historic print with a portrait of your family or yesterday's beach scene. It gives interest and a cultured look. 

Go big. Theres no 'gallery wall rule' that says a specific number is the key so use a large space as the perfect opportunity to go big with your design.

Don't be afraid of color, be bold and embrace hues that you love.

Mix in a mirror to the look to add dimension and depth

now get busy!

MOVED

Excited to announce that we have officially moved. Leaving the land of aloha is extremely bittersweet and there's certainly no simple way to say goodbye. Luckily, we will return one day so that keeps our hearts warm as our feet take us to many different (and this time - cold) places! Our next adventure is happening in Washington, DC for the year. By next summer we will be on the move again, but for now it's time to enjoy this great city so rich in history and exciting events. Stay tuned for more frequent blogging as there was an absence for awhile due to big projects and crazy working hours. Looking forward to writing again. 

much love,
