When a boring wall becomes a Focal Point


My husband and I took a trip to Napa Valley which was amazing.  The photo on the left is from a restaurant in downtown Napa.  I loved the texture and warmth of the walls with the gallery shelf adding an opportunity to showcase lovely artwork. 
In the photo below, I decided to use a faux stone wall mural t in one of the houses I bought and sold in Royal Oak, Michigan.  I purchased gallery shelves at Ikea then staggered them to add a sense of motion to the wall.  Accessories were added to finish the accent wall that would have been a simple boring pass through without this approach.

Step out of the box when it comes to design to make your home spectacular.
