2. Kitchen Gallery Wall b

The House That Handmade Built™ (@coleswifey) által megosztott bejegyzés,

Is there any doubt that a kitchen gallery wall as glorious as this one is going to be the focal point of your space? It’s all about collecting a whole bunch of farmhouse-inspired signs with messages about food, kitchen and more. While some of the signs look quite expensive with their fine frames, others have got an earthy appeal themselves with lots of reclaimed wood, weathered surfaces and natural textures doing the wonder. The best part about the idea is that you can get as random as you want with the choice of signs, yet end up in a gallery wall that looks oh so breathtaking in the larger picture. A small storage shelf underneath the display completes it just right!
