Kitchen Gallery Wall..finally
Happy Monday..hope you had a great weekend!! Well I finally got the gallery wall started in the kitchen. Here is a shot of it Before:
As you can see its pretty boring! I REALLY needed to throw out the oil bottles on the right..so 90's. :) And the shelf didn't serve much purpose but I knew I wanted to keep the cross and the metal C..which by the way came off a local bank building. But I also knew I wanted to add a few other elements..a DIY chalkboard, somewhere to display our daughter's artwork and a few vintage items.
So here is the After:
Keep in mind this is a wall in our kitchen...so with that being said I added a vintage child's apron that was a family item. (bottom right hook) Also I used the plaque that use to hang on the shelf hook and the small Longaberger basket to hold chalk. I am thinking about painting the hooks...they show up a little better in person than in this photo but they might look better in black. Will see. I will explain how I made the chalkboard & art display board in another post..both SUPER easy!!! I really like the way this wall turned out...I will be hanging another child's apron on the first hook..just need to find/get one. But its a good start. And the best part is I only had to buy the chalkboard paint!! And our daughter loves the chalkboard.
Hope you have a great Monday & hope this inspires you to get some projects done that you have been wanting to do!
