A salon wall is a great way to show off a collection of artwork and found objects. It’s also a fun project that the whole family could help plan. On a traditional salon wall, dozens of objects of differing sizes and shapes are hung together. Symmetry is not important, but balance is. Make a miniature of each artwork you’d like to include and play around with placement. The kids will love this part! Pro tip: make sure to include both two and three dimensional works. Miniature shelves, antlers, bones, old tools- these will add visual interest and texture.

Joyce Family
Once we got over the initial fear & shock, we started to really enjoy this time, as it is giving us more time with our children. We have had family dinner every night, gone on walks, played games, and read books. Even with the increased workload of being Mayor during a pandemic & working his daytime job, Will has been able to be home more, too. Our mornings are lazy & quiet. The weather has been amazing, so we have spent a lot of time on the patio just enjoying this slower pace of life. We miss our extended family & our friends, but are happy to make these sacrifices to keep them safe.
