We have a big, blank expanse of wall in our kitchen eating area. I was toying with the idea of big chalkboard with a fancy gilded frame but that seemed a little too Pottery Barn circa 1998. I've been keeping my eye out for an oversized print or poster that would work in the space but most of the oversized ones tend to be of the vintage Cinzano ilk. A little bolder and more graphic than is our style.
See? That is one big, blank wall.
I miss those white chairs too. We were just caring for them while my neice was getting settled into her adult life. She's settled now and my her chairs are now in So. California.
A couple of weeks ago I was in Homegoods, just browsing and I found three pressed metal decorative square thingies. The color was completely wrong but I never let that stop me. That's what paint is for. Forgive the blurry picture, I was over excited about my find.
A little primer, a little paint and there you have it. Excellent way to break up a big wall. All for less than $45.
he thingies are gorgeous on your wall. And I think the darker chairs look find. But you could always paint them white.

Wow, that looks beautful! I have the same blank wall, I have a hutch there, but I want to move it when I start painting. Funny, I have the same type of ceiling lamp, too. You did a great job with the wall art, very cool.
Looks fantastic and the dark chairs make a great contrast with the white.
Hi,
Just wondering if you used Ralph Lauren Candlelight Paint on your wall? It looks shimmery in the picture. Love the ironware, looks great on the wall.
Thanks,Dawn
I like them,they look really nice on your wall.
Ooops, so much for being an adult. We left one of those chairs in a week long rain spell. (yeagh it does that in SoCal) Oh well – isn’t the aged look in?
Well, that seems to work!
Hi Andrea,
What a great idea, your wall now looks fabulous.
Cheers Linda
You could always paint your dining chairs white!! They would look almost like the ones you so lovingly gave back to their rightful owner :-)! Love the wall! I have several metal do-hickies that are the wrong color that I am not scratching my chin and thinking…maybe?
Thanks for the idea!
They look great. I love your cupboards too!

What a great idea! Remember that thing that Mom found one time—-a glue stained table top that had lost its tiles? She had it on the wall for ages. Found art she called it. Very avant garde.
I love the metal wall art you have there.
I never find pretty things like that.
You have a lovely blog here too.
