Project Design: Vintage Gallery Wall Completed!

It’s been a fun process finishing our gallery wall in our 1920’s apartment in San Francisco.

It is a difficult wall in our dining room as it has a bump out in the middle.  So, I decided to treat it as two walls.
Recap Goals:
  • Have a unique and vintage 1920’s feel
  • Use what I already have…add a couple things
  • Mix old and new
  • Make it appropriate for a dining room and dining at night
So here we go…
The antique mirror from my childhood home was relocated to the opposite wall.
I started with the plan below but deviated from it…still, it gave me my initial direction (so, I recommend doing a drawing to scale).

All the sconces were from flea markets.

I put flameless Pottery Barn candles on the top sconces.  They are on a timer and turn on at dusk for four hours.

There is a nice glow at night for dinner parties…

I can also use this Chinese altar table for serving.

It’s created a homey, dining room for us.
Cindy and I have ideas brewing for other Project Designs, with different groups in the future.   Please let us know if there are any small scale projects that you’d like to see/have help with.
And now check out these fabulous bloggers’ Gallery Walls!
