Truth: if you read The Chalkboard and have never heard of Free People, the boho gal's guide to wardrobe dreams, we're totally mystified! Not that vintage-print maxi-dresses, felt hats, and feather-festooned accessories are mandatory for the girl who drinks it green - in fact, there's nothing we love more than to the green juice drinker who breaks all stereotypes! But, if we're honest with ourselves, half of our greens-guzzling friends (heck, half our own staff!) is dressed something like this on any given Thursday. All that to say, Free People and their award-winning blog Bldg 25 is deeply our jam. And, this month, we're delighted to begin partnering with their team on some incredible content! Watch for more, both here on TCM and over with our friends at Bldg 25. See my interview with their West Coast team here as we kick things off! To start, we're sharing this DIY project from Free People editor, Madisyn. This day-long DIY is perfect for the late fall season, a couple of girlfriends, and that empty wall that's been driving you crazy for months... My studio is the place where I go to create. My walls are blank space and, lately, have been calling for some inspiration. I know you’ve seen the good ol’ gallery walls on Pinterest. You know, the ones that seem so effortless and cool. Some messy magazine tears, scribbled quotes, all within a corner of the perfect-looking studio. Well, I’ve been a little obsessed with these, so much so that I found myself on a ladder all weekend with a pile of nails and a hammer. Gallery wall ideas can come from anywhere, from a memorable event, annual celebration or your own need for constant change. First things first: Gallery walls are hard. They are intimidating, and the entire time you will be worried about one thing: the spacing, the spacing, the spacing. Who knew one could be so bad with a measuring tape? I figured it out, and conquered. Before you start your wall, grab a #FPBFF, some patience and repeat out loud, “anything goes.” [olists num=1] [olists num=2]
