What about putting those large rustic safety pins on your wall? I've seen them on Ballard Designs.

I love the idea for the tobacco basket, or what about large individual photos of some of the cows? <br />Whatever you choose, I know it will be great. So enjoy reading your blog and seeing the progress on your home. <br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996683270441131873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-31427233490625217672013-08-04T12:34:11.903-05:002013-08-04T12:34:11.903-05:00I really like it, but...I wish the scale was small...I really like it, but...I wish the scale was smaller. If the stripes were narrower, and you had smaller white spaces, it would look more "gingham".

Keep the wall fairly simple...add texture with a large item like an antique tobacco basket (they are fairly flat). Think if you use too many small items it will compete with the gingham and make it cluttered/busy.<br />Great paint job.

If another side a long bench of some sort with a little quilt and some pillows and a few little white or cream colored shelves with baskets and such above it ? That would mimic the wall shades.<br /><br />If the washer / dryer are on that wall I still imagine some shelves ...but I don't mean long shelves covering all the gorgeous gingham; rather a few small knick-knacky kinds and then perhaps a few pictures here and there and one of your signs that would say..hmmmm..laundry! :) Anything that you do is going to look really nice as you did a lovely job on that wall and it will all come together so nicely!

The stripes still show a little because of the paint edges--I know I should of had the painter sand them, but I didn't. This is my first visit and I'm going to stoop a little bit.

What I like about the inspiration photo is the furniture in front of the wall, and the colors of the paint have less contrast so it's more subtle than what you achieved with the darker paint and the white walls. Nicely done though.My Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-59131511126517216682013-07-25T16:59:29.596-05:002013-07-25T16:59:29.596-05:00Gosh Dori that is remarkable that you did that on ...Gosh Dori that is remarkable that you did that on your own.

As far as what to hang there, I would go with one large simple picture/poster like the one in the S.L. home. Plus, people will be walking by the wall so you don't want too much there to be knocked off. :) Looking forward to seeing your home all come together. :)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397352497202685897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-19668937453421900342013-07-25T10:40:25.741-05:002013-07-25T10:40:25.741-05:00Your wall is very unique and you did a beautiful j...Your wall is very unique and you did a beautiful job!
