How to Make a Staircase Gallery Wall – Part One
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. Our home's stairwell is a great place for a gallery wall since it's the first thing you see upon entering our home.

Which Elements Of A Planned Renovation Could You Be Missing?
It’s hard to take absolutely everything into account when making plans. That’s because our minds generally focus on the biggest priorities first, and then extrapolate from there. So for example, you might set off early to get t the airport because you know a large marathon is taking place across the city, but if you don’t know the exact route that will allow you to arrive on time for your flight, you may find yourself being detoured in ways you didn’t expect.
