New Year – New Look! I’m sharing my colorful, eclectic basket gallery wall that adds so much interest and texture to this space.
When the Christmas decorations came down, I stared at my blank dining room walls and said to myself, “Kelly, you’re not a monk so liven up those walls asap and then I’ll give you some wine.”
I had myself at wine and in order to get it I had to listen to that little devil on my shoulder and add some personality to this blank slate so of course a basket gallery wall was in order.

I love collecting things slowly over time but an instant collection isn’t a bad thing either!
These baskets called to me from the HomeGoods clearance aisle so I decided to give them a good home.
They are hand woven African baskets from Ghana (except the blue one on the bottom right).
You can find a great selection of African baskets HERE or get a similar look by scooping up thrift store baskets.
I moved my favorite woven bench from my foyer (get the bench on sale HERE).
I love these hooks for hanging the baskets. Just poke the hook right through the basket. Bonus – no holes in the wall!
I just realized my vintage brass elephant will feel right at home among these African baskets!
My dining room is right off my foyer so anyone who comes through my front door will be greeted with this colorful wall that shows off my personality.

I’m loving the way the baskets add so much interest to my house.

What a great wall and that bench and elephant are perfect. You are truly amazing and sometime we need another tour to see all you have done.
Yes I need to do that Marlene and soon!
I love it-“you’re not a monk” !!!!
But I do have an uncle that was a Jesuit priest!
Kelly! Your basket gallery looks fabulous! I love the texture and color it brings to the wall without being overwhelming! Your bench and the vignette with tray, plant and precious elephant are delicious icing on your creative project!
Thanks so much Judy – I’m loving all the color!
What a wonderful Wall. The colors in those baskets are so bright and fresh. Love the bench with these. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Hope and happy 2018!
Oh my, those baskets. And I love elephants, the symbol of my sorority (strength, loyalty, intelligence) 🙂
Very cool Helen – sounds like you need your own elephant!
I would love to see these chairs, I looked at these on another site. I don’t see them in your previous dining room pictures. Thanks. Gayle
