written by Lauren

A staircase gallery wall layout

A few years ago, I created a gallery wall of family photos along the wall that runs next to our home's staircase to our second story.

If you read my blog, you know that I have an adorable little Shih Tzu named Mochi! He is my buddy! I just got him a haircut, and he is looking super dapper! I love how clean he is now!

Sometimes I have to brush dirt and leaves off him, which can get my hands quite messy. So I'm glad I have NOWATA—I bring a tube of it on our walks.
