I’ve always been a fan of a great at-home bar. I strongly believe it’s a must-learn life skill to mix up classic cocktails, and as an avid host, it’s important to provide an array...
Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...
Lets be honest, salads can be boring. So I’m always trying to think outside of the box to come up with salad recipes that I’ll thoroughly enjoy, but are beyond easy to make. Enter...

The final reveal for the One Room Challenge unveiled a pretty major gallery wall with bright and funky vibes in the upstairs loft. And we can agree that with 24 total pieces and even some 3D items, this particular wall is not one for the faint of heart. I mixed and matched classic photographs and one-of-a-kind paintings by GRAY MALIN,BRITT BASS, MINTED, AND SALLY KING BENEDICT to tie in a personal feel to this vibrant, quirky room and absolutely loved the outcome. After creating this gallery wall, I can assure you that whether you’re designing one of this caliber or of a smaller scale, creating a collected and personal feel is easier than you think. The beauty of a gallery wall is that it can grow and evolve as you continue to find and add new pieces, so don’t get too hung up on making mistakes. And since we received so much feedback and inquiries about the wall, I wanted to share my quick and easy five gallery wall ideas for you all today. Simply click through the slideshow above to read more. Truly, MKR

ADD 3-DIMENSIONAL ITEMS FOR DEPTH
TO AVOID HAVING YOUR GALLERY WALL LOOKING TOO FLAT, ADD 3-DIMENSIONAL ITEMS TO ADD DEPTH SUCH AS THIS HAND HOOK, A JUJU HAT, AND GREEK WORRY BEADS.
THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WHEN IT COMES TO FRAMING; THESE FRAMED HERMES BAGS ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE. OTHER IDEAS I LOVE: CONCERT TICKETS, LOVE NOTES, KEYS AND ANYTHING THAT HOLDS SENTIMENTAL VALUE.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO MIX DIVERSE PATTERNS AND PRINTS THROUGHOUT THE SPACE. JUST REMEMBER WHEN DECORATING WITH BOLD COLORS AND ART PRINTS, CREATE BALANCE IN THE SPACE THROUGH THE USE OF WHITES, NEUTRALS AND METALLIC ACCENTS.
The tables have been set, flowers planted, umbrellas opened, and the twinkle lights are in full effect. Yes my friends, it is officially patio season here in Atlanta. And with a new season of al fresco dining in full swing, it’s also time to talk summer sips. And it’s no secret that we’re big wine lovers here at WOM ,so what better way to usher in our favorite time of year than by sharing the top eight wines for summer we’ll be sipping on all season long? Tell us, do you have a go-to summer time wine? Truly, MKR
No. One:Round Pond Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc. This has been my go-to summer wine for the past four years. It’s beautifully balanced rich acidic and fruit forward notes never disappoint in satisfying on a warm, sunny day.
No. Two:Whispering Angel. I was introduced to this easy drinking Rose on a recent trip to Turks and Caicos and was immediately smitten. Not only does it have the most gorgeous pink coloring, but its light, and easy to drink with light notes of strawberry and berries, making it a fast favorite.
No. Three:Miraval Rose. I won’t lie in saying when I first spied this Rose it was because of the gorgeous bottle and simple packaging. So I was pleasantly surprised when the wine was just as good as the bottle it was poured from.
No. Four:Sancerre Anything. Situated on the left bank of the Loire at the eastern edge of the Loire Valley Sancerre’s vineyards cover a series of hillsides dominated by the “Piton” or peak of Sancerre. Most well known for their Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre is easy to drink, easy to find, and if it’s on the menu I’ll usually choose it over any other wine.
No. Five:Blackbird Arriviste. The pinkest of all the roses, Arriviste is a blend of Cab Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot making it the richest, and most complex of the roses. So much so that I find myself drinking it in cold and warm weather.
No. Six:Skipstone Viognier. A small, organic winery, Skipstone was introduced on my last visit to Napa by our friends at Maisonry. With an intense aroma and hints of pineapple and even mango that linger, make it crisp and almost mouthwatering. While it’s harder to find locally, this wine is one that’s worth the expedited cost of shipping.
No. Seven:Darioush Viognier. Years ago ,Darioush Viognier was the first Viognier I had ever tasted, and since then, I’ve become a big fan of this rich, yet exotic, acidic wine. With exotic fruits balanced by notes of jasmine, this Viognier will become a fast favorite.
No. Eight:Orison Pipa. A very small batch winery the ORISON wine project was started in 2012 by Daniel and Filipa Orrison (great friends of WOM) with the help of winemaker Ricardo Carvalho, and embodies the desire to bring the beauty and spirit of Portugal to the United States through wine. Pipa, accomplishes that with a crisp, refreshing, easy to drink wine you’ll enjoy many a warm weather night ahead.
