My Den Gallery Wall

I've been working on my den, a cozy retreat for watching TV and hanging out and added a gallery wall over the reclaimed wood entertainment center. With vintage shutters and ...»
yardsale/thriftstore finds, I love the look of a collected gallery wall. It's not quite finished, I still want to add some built-in bookshelves to one corner, but it's getting there.

with thrifted finds and a few intentional fabric choices, like the Ikat panels and the zebra teal rug. The modern art was a steal at Ballard Designs and really brings a nice touch to my mostly traditional space. I love my room now!

  • Adel white Shaker cabinets from Ikea, with creamy white subway tile and gray grout.
  • I especially love these two 36" base cabinets of all drawers. Granite is Kashmire White. 1
  • My island was handmade and I just repainted it gray to flow better with my kitchen.
  • Rustic shelves add a personal touch.
  • This big pantry was also big on my wish list and really comes in handy.
  • The rustic shelves are reclaimed wood from Southern Accents in Cullman, AL. and are my fave thing in my kitchen.
  • A coffee station to the left of the sink is used every morning.  The sink is a Blanco granite sink in Metallic Gray and the cute green light fixture is from Ballard Designs.
  • One of the best things I did was to add this 12" open cabinet at the end of the run of base cabinets to house large platters and cutting board. Otherwise, it was just wasted space.
