Awesome Wall Art (and a Giveaway!)
I recently came across the most fabulous idea for a gallery wall:
This genius art is the brain child of artist Emmy Star Brown. She took plain jane photo frames and used a Sharpie on the glass to create the wording. How brilliant is that?
I was so taken with her work that I purchased one for my family room gallery wall. Where’s Waldo – can you spot the frame?
Sweet and simple.
And now here’s the good news. I’m giving away one of these gorgeous frames for FREE!
If you win, you will be sent a frame just like the one I have below (or, if you like something else of lesser or equal value, you can pick that instead).
Here are the rules!

July 7, 2015 at 1:51 PMSo cute! I love how you have incorporated the picture with the rest of your cool gallery! I might just have to start a gallery of my own to hang this ‘sharpie’ pic!
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:55 PMoh I will help you hang a gallery wall if you want! After we paint your bathroom and put new knobs on your dresser! 🙂
Sharmeen Dossani
July 7, 2015 at 1:55 PMFabulous idea! I would put it in my daughters’ playroom.
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:55 PMThese prints would go great in a playroom! They’re a bit playful and youthful for sure. Thanks for entering! 🙂
Lauren
July 7, 2015 at 2:00 PMLove the art! I would put it in my guest room
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:54 PMyes! The guest room! That way your guests would feel super extra loved.
Bonnie Joyce
July 7, 2015 at 2:03 PMLove these! It would be so fun to have in our guest room or even on the front porch to welcome guests inside!
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:54 PMOMG front porch – how amazing is that idea?! great way to welcome people.
Jennie Joyce
July 7, 2015 at 2:16 PMThis wall art is beautiful! Such a great giveaway idea. If I won the giveaway of the “you are loved” art piece, I would hang it in my bedroom. I have an orange lacquer coral-shaped lamp with a black lamp shade. It sits on top of a tall white dresser, up against a light aqua painted wall. The art piece would look great hanging on the wall above the dresser, next to the lamp. It would also remind me of you.
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:54 PMOkay, FIRST of all how amazing does that orange lamp sound?! the art would look amazing next to that lamp and against the blue wall!
Courtney nunns
July 7, 2015 at 2:22 PMlove this among all the prints. These would work in so many different rooms.
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:53 PMI agree – hey maybe a gallery wall in your sunroom? 🙂
Kerry Roberts Sneyd
July 7, 2015 at 2:23 PMSo simple and so brilliant! I’d put in my kids’ bathroom.

Julie Oyler

Carey
July 7, 2015 at 2:25 PMSo sweet – I’d like three and hang one in each of my daughter’s rooms!

Alexa Anderson
July 7, 2015 at 2:27 PMSo awesome! I would put this in our upstairs hallway that leads to all of our bedrooms. But it would also look great on the wall that is against our stairway!!!
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:52 PMyes! I can envision it! Thanks Alexa!
Laura Holliday
July 7, 2015 at 2:39 PMAdorable! I’d love to hang something like that in my kids’ bedroom. Weeeeeell, given that I don’t have the courage to put holes in the walls, I’d love to prop it against the mantel in their bedroom!
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:51 PMi love that you have a mantel in your kids’ bedroom #brooklyn
Brooke Mahan

Breanne Murdock
July 7, 2015 at 4:29 PMThis is adorable! I’d hang this in someplace unexpected for my daughter or husband to find and then know how much I love them. In my daughter’s closet where she likes to play or on the back of my husband’s office door.
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:49 PMThanks Breanne! Love that unexpected touch!
Carey Albertine
July 7, 2015 at 4:48 PMThis is so simple and beautiful. I get a warm fuzzy just thinking about waking up every morning and seeing “You are loved” on my bedroom wall. Or maybe I should put it in my children’s room– wrap them in the warmth of that message!
Lorri Dyner
July 7, 2015 at 4:50 PMLove it! Isn’t it such a great reminder?
Saira Rao
July 7, 2015 at 5:15 PMLOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Lorri Dyner

Tracy ferrara
July 7, 2015 at 6:44 PMwhat a great idea! I’ve been wanting to do a wall gallery in my basement! This would be a great start!
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:11 AMYes! Gallery wall in the basement! I can see it now. Thanks tracy!
Aisa Aiyer
July 7, 2015 at 7:16 PMI would put it on the ceiling looking down over the baby’s changing table. That way he has something black and white to focus on whenever he is looking up and before you know it he will be able to read it and know his mama loves him….
And I am following on Pinterest and receive the newsletter already 🙂
Aisa Aiyer
July 7, 2015 at 7:22 PMAnd now I’ve shared on FB and re-tweeted too!
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:10 AMyou’re a contest-entering animal!! Thanks for your awesome baby idea too. So great!
Casey Halliley
July 7, 2015 at 8:37 PMI have been laboring over a galley wall on our bedroom landing and wanting so many pics but feeling like there are too many! This could break up the black and white pics in just the right way! x
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:11 AMLove this! I never thought about the art being surrounded by just black and white but it would look AMAZING!
Courtney
July 7, 2015 at 9:44 PMI love these Lorri! I would hang them in our playroom/family room, guest room or my daughters room. They are so fun and would spruce up any of these rooms!

Reshma Singh
July 7, 2015 at 9:58 PMThese are so great–I love the messages. I would put one in my hallway as part of a gallery wall that I am in the process of creating!
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:09 AMyes! Love those gallery walls. I think this art is literally perfect for a hallway gallery 🙂 Thanks reshma!
Sara DeWitt
July 7, 2015 at 10:18 PMMost definitely in my telecommuting home office. That’s where I post reminders of what’s really important to me (being loved!). And it’s a space that I need to be beautiful and inviting to me every day.
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:09 AMYes! It’s so great to have it hanging where you WORK! That way you see it all the time. Great idea sawa!
Elizabeth Binder
July 7, 2015 at 10:23 PMAdorable! I’d put it on the wall beside our front door, so my family could see it in the way out the door in the morning!
Lorri Dyner

Marina Bregman
July 7, 2015 at 10:56 PMThese are lovely! I would hang it in the baby’s room. Sweet and sophisticated without being too cutesy.

Erica MacGregor
July 8, 2015 at 10:55 AMLove this! I’m thinking of starting a gallery wall on my staircase so maybe there or in my guest room!
Lorri Dyner
July 8, 2015 at 11:07 AMYes I love the staircase idea – that’s a new one! very creative 🙂 Thanks Erica!
Aimee Trissel
July 8, 2015 at 11:04 AMSweet!! I’d hang in my living room or wall before heading upstairs.
Lorri Dyner

Emmy Star Brown
July 8, 2015 at 11:27 AMThank you everyone! It is so wonderful hearing your creative ideas. My glass paintings are very versatile and can definitely work well collaged on a gallery wall or shine on their own. Best of luck!
Diana Candela
July 8, 2015 at 8:01 PMI would hang it in my home office. #boss 🙂
Karlene Elder
July 9, 2015 at 4:45 AMWhat a great idea! I think it would look nice next to the family pictures that were given to us as a present.

Jennifer Barney
July 9, 2015 at 2:46 PMI love this! It could really go anywhere but it would be an especially sweet sentiment to hang in Olive or Grace’s room.
Carolyn Dorfman
July 9, 2015 at 4:48 PMLove this idea. I can think of lots of different places I would put this, most likely Addie’s bedroom that you are going to help me with when I get back – time to redo the kids bedrooms and I know you will be the first person I call!
Lorri Dyner
July 12, 2015 at 11:06 AMThanks Carolyn ! 🙂
Gillian
July 9, 2015 at 6:06 PMMy favorite place for art is in the bathroom! I think when you have a quiet moment to yourself, and are washing your hands, you have a moment to take in a piece of art in a way that you don’t when you are in a bigger, more crowded space….so cute Lorri! Keep it up!
Lorri Dyner
July 12, 2015 at 11:06 AMYes love the bathroom idea. Thanks Gillian!
Jennifer barney
July 9, 2015 at 9:29 PMLove these! This would be perfect in the girls bedroom.

Maria kiskis
July 10, 2015 at 1:51 AMWhat a lovely idea! I would put it in our son hunter’s room as each night he says goodnight to everything and repeats everything back. I’d just have to make sure he knows it’ll go into his sister’s room when she gets a bit older.
Lorri Dyner
July 12, 2015 at 11:05 AMI love that visual – “good night ‘you are loved’ artwork!”
Bridget Powell
July 10, 2015 at 11:20 AMI would hang it right next to the framed photo I have of Congressman Mike Thompson’s 2000 staff. 🙂
Lorri Dyner

Jen Birdsey
