gallery wall re-do

The last time I showed  you my gallery wall, I wasn't completely satisfied. The whole reason I started the gallery wall was to balance out the giant tv and lamp with the rest of the space.
While trying to design around those two things, I finally realized it was the lamp that needed to go.


After swapping out the lamp, a couple photos, and refinishing some of the frames. I think I am satisfied with the end result.

...for now .


Moving the original lamp to the otherside, I eventually removed it from the room altogether and found a replacement at a thrift store for $5.


What was once an aged, crusty, yellow stained , brass lamp - Is now my favorite part of our room!
 With a little paint and fabric, I transformed it to work perfectly for this space.


The otherside of the bed was blank, empty,and boring.

I felt like I needed big scale items to balance out the large pull down map. So, I harvested these "bushy-things" from my yard. Every year the plant needs chopped down to the ground to re-grow the following year: a perfect opportunity to get a freebie accent piece to our space.

Very small changes. But, I am much happier when I walk in the room. 
Improvement? Or do you like the before , better?
