What to do with this wall?
I've hit the wall, so to speak, as to what to do with this large recessed wall in my living room. The recessed area is 12.5' wide by 9' high and the depth is 9". I've had several people tell me to make it an art wall but I would like to do something else rather than try to buy enough art just to fill the space.
I was thinking about painting it interesting color and adding something like fiber art.
I like Kathleen Otley's woven willow creations. I hope it is OK to post this.
I also have a large round leather mirror about 45" in diameter - wondering how that would look with something on each side. Not sure about that.
I do plan to change out the small lamp and hide the cord :-).

Help! What to do with basement wall - bookshelf/wetbar combo??
Comments (6)The only problem I see adding a bar with a sink under that window which is recessed about 2', plus the additional counter depth you be 4' away or near that, you will never get to open that window without climbing on top of the wet bar, even for cleaning purposes. That said, they also have to keep in mind what they want to spend on this because adding a wet bar will require the whole process, i.e, drawings, permits, and cutting up walls/ceilings to run the drain pipes, water lines, GFCI outlets, etc. and that basement looks like it was finished not that long ago. P.S. In the images I posted, image #1 was a new basement design so everything is open... Picture #2 was a modification to an existing basement, the location of the wet bar, there used to be a laundry room which was relocated to the 2nd floor, so the drain and water lines were already there and needed minor modifications for a sink hook-up....See MoreAny ideas on what to do with this wall?
Comments (8)I like the wall left there too. The separation when guests come in, and hang their coats etc, is very nice to have. I would leave it just like it is.. I agree, you have things tore apart, so go one step further and have the pop corn ceilings removed....See MoreSmall bathroom -- What to do with this wall?
Comments (8)The bathroom is 89x89. It's the smallest bathroom you could ever imagine. Initially I had the plumbing for two sinks because it looked better, but once I started building drawer boxes around the plumbing for two sinks I realized the bathroom would have zero storage. I built the floating vanity to a non standard size 16" x 89" so the shower door would have room to swing open. I purchased every size sink and this is the only one that would fit a 16 inch vanity. I tried vessel sinks but never found one I liked and got tired of looking. I just uploaded more pics. This bathroom is next to the living room and is only used when guests are visiting or staying in the small guest bedroom across the hall. I can easily change the lighting. The lighting you see installed is just from my previous layout when I had two sinks. I'm not sure what to change it to. I just know I don't like it. I was thinking a mirror across the entire wall would make the space look bigger?...See Morewhat to do with this wall??
Comments (7)Yes, it doesn't make sense there alone. You needed more space, so maybe do nothing, looks like it's a pathway... large artwork or a mirror? Post a floor plan and you may get better ideas based on function....See Moresunfeather

no, I was talking about some weaving I own, found on Etsy..very beautiful but I made a mistake of putting it in a spot that worked, but not from all the angles. In my frustration, I opened a thread about it here.
