BUILDING A MAXIMALIST GALLERY WALL | My Dark Antique Cluttercore Bedroom Decor

[@Okie-Girl]

My little sister painted a black wall that looks exactly like velvet and filled it with antique and vintage gold framed mirrors of all sizes. It turned out absolutely beautiful ❤😊

Katherine, you have outdone yourself! I can truly say that you are the one who has inspired me to appreciate & love art. I will always be thankful. This may be your best yet! Thank you!💕💕

[@KatherineYoung]

Wow, thank you! I am all for inspiring another art lover!

[@apt221bbakerst]

I have several gallery walls and I didn't plan them out either. What I did was put the large pieces in first, then the middle size and then filled in with the small to smallest sizes. It turned out great. You have to create a balance in each display as you go, but everyone does it their own way.

[@craft-o-matic399]

Katherine, it's exquisite! I love what you have done with your room and that your inspiration to create the proper space for your cats was the catalyst that made it all come together! I'm exploring vintage and antique ceramic gargoyles and grotesques right now. Thank you for this video Katherine! I would love to see more videos like this! Lisa

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you so much! I have to get things done in the condo for more videos. That is the trick. 😂😅

[@craft-o-matic399]

@@KatherineYoung Definitely worth the wait!

[@sawdust2556]

Oh my gosh! So interesting! I’d love to hear more about what you learn. I subscribed in case you make videos! My daughter Lisa showed me a great video about gargoyles a few years ago. Fascinating.❤ Have fun exploring.

[@craft-o-matic399]

@@sawdust2556 I found a lady on Etsy. Her shop is called DevilishLittleThings. I wanted a different color other than black, but she is a ceramicist. She makes this wonderful little dish with three legs and around the inside edge of the bowl are these grotesque faces. I love it, and I see just now that she has that piece on hold for someone. It was her last one of that particular piece. She will be making more eventually! Please tell her I sent you if you buy something. Also, I think she is putting her shop on vacation soon or it might already be on vacation. Lisa

[@autumnsimril535]

I love love love every single thing. I have piles of things waiting for me to put up on the walls "when I find the time" and you have inspired me to finally "find the time". No use having things you love when they are all in boxes not being enjoyed. Thank you and brightest blessings to you and your little furry ones.

[@KatherineYoung]

So true! I hate having things hidden away. That is a big sticking point for me.

[@sawdust2556]

So glad you’ll be putting your things up!❤

[@SusanDinNC]

Just stunning! It's art within art within art. I'm in love with everything you did.

[@KatherineYoung]

[@debh7446]

The gallery wall is absolutely stunning! I am so inspired for a dark and moody room with a wall like that! Thank you for sharing!!

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you so much!

[@TcTess]

Beautiful! I loved seeing how you include your kitties in your design vision. I lost my girl “Bob” just this past December, she was blind & deaf but made it to 25 yrs old. She went blind at about 1 yr old so I got pretty good at tweaking things to make her life easier. Hopefully you’ll have many more wonderful years with her.

[@KatherineYoung]

Sorry to hear that. I hope we have many more years too!

[@itselishatania]

OBSESSSEDDDDDD !!! Love your collection! Drooling over the ornate pieces… such a genius idea in the trim!

[@samanthatannous440]

I absolutely adore it. I’m currently putting together a gallery wall myself.

I don’t even know how to start commenting, I love everything about this video. It’s extremely inspirational and soulful. I’m just going to go rewatch it and soak it in. Thank you!

[@KatherineYoung]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much!

[@angelaschneider-doheny4233]

It turned out SO GREAT! I am obsessed with your painted foliage and that trim. Beautiful! Every home project I've ever done has taken far longer than I anticipated and always includes some sort of messy tragedy, so I feel ya on that!

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you! Welp, I think it will just push me to get hardwood in there.

[@crystalcrannell-moberg3828]

I love your sense of style! You've given me some ideas to try. I made a jewelry collage, similar to the one your friend made, for my mother. It was made with some of her old jewelry and some of my deceased father's jewelry (belt buckles, bolos, tie tacks, political pins, etc.), and bits and bobs that represent her life adventures (square dancing, St. Paul/Nagasaki Sister City trip that they made, living in Australia for 2 years, representations from most of the mid-west states where she has lived, family birthstones). I used an old heart-shaped valentine's chocolates box for the base. I wish I could show it to you. She loves it. I will have to visit the store Hunt & Gather Antiques some time. I believe it is in St. Paul?

[@nurseshaye2099]

I love love love your gallery wall.

[@rethafaye7749]

omg omg omg. I love everything about this video from the struggles to the ugly cry moment to the beauty of the reveal. I am saving this video in my favorites to pull up to tackle my own space. This is exactly what I have had in my mind to do for years. Paint shopping time!!!

[@KatherineYoung]

Oh I bet it will turn out lovely! It takes time to find all the right pieces but worth it!

Amazing!! I love the maximalist look. I’ve never thought of the overlapping but it works and looks super cool!! Love how it all pops off the black wall.

[@KatherineYoung]

I have another overlapping gallery wall in that room at a much smaller scale and I think that gave me courage to go for it on the larger scale.

[@voaQuest1910]

Love it 😍 The overlapping and different textures, full of dimension and interesting pieces!

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you so much!

[@karengillett8994]

It's so lovely Katherine. I couldn't wait to watch this as my gallery wall is in my head and I have curated so many paintings, prints and items. I have that big corner stack of stuff like you had. I love that trim and will be looking into it! I've always used different textures and things that don't seem like they should go together but I find their commonality and they work. I've been waiting until after the holidays to get started. Now I am more excited to get going. You've inspired me to get moving. Thanks for sharing.

[@KatherineYoung]

Thanks so much! Time to get those stack of art up on the wall!

[@lauramoonwoman]

Loved it! Loved the wall. didn't even know this trim existed. i will be using this to dress up some picture frames. My husband and i had an all black bedroom when we worked 2nd shift and had to sleep throught the sunrise. Black background wallpaper with misty green/gray, muted pink and dusty peach strips and lillies and fleur de lis on it. Walls and ceiling. black blinds, black calico curtains lined in black with black eyelet sheers. i had such energy then. Love what you did here.

[@KatherineYoung]

Thanks so much! I bet that was lovely!

[@JackieBurnsCreations]

I absolute love this. It does all go together. I am right now working on a gallery wall in my entry/hallway. You have given me some inspiration for my wall

[@KatherineYoung]

I'm so glad! I am sure it will be awesome.

[@barbarawood6008]

Wow! Amazing!!!

[@lynleywesterbeke7106]

Loved this video so much. I was struck by your comment that while your chosen items may not necessarily "go together, they go with me". Profound, and a sentiment I will take into future expressions of my own decorating endeavors. Your gallery wall is stunning.

[@KatherineYoung]

I am so glad you found it helpful!

Perfection!

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you!

[@suzyallen1726]

You must feel so great that you stuck to it no matter what pitfalls. I must admit the paint on rug may have taken me over the edge. My daughter had me paint both nurseries black. She decorated with black and white. Her pediatrician told her that babies only see black and white at first and that would stimulate them to enjoy the crib and their space. I have so many things I inspire to do but dont follow through which makes me feel bad. You did a great job and like you said it is soooooooo you. 🤩

[@KatherineYoung]

Oh that is so interesting about the eye sight! I didn’t realize that was something past a brand new baby!

Oh My Stars 🌟 It looks AMAZING .Great Job. 👏 Your Quilt is Beautiful. YAY to your Mom. It may have been a longer than you expected process but OH SO WORTH IT. I have my Brooches on the wall also. I had my daughter stretch a huge canvas. I put batting,then an amazing solid material. I put a dark bricbrac around the edge with antique nail heads. I move my Brooches around. But it catches everyone's eye. I love your hair btw. It's Adorable and you look beautiful. I love your laugh 🌹

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you so much! Yeah it feels like every project I do takes longer than expected. 😅🤭

Love it!! Your painting of the green leaves on the wall... wow. Amazing. I have a couple super dark blue accent walls in my home and I love it. The one in my living room is where I have a big gallery wall as well. Everything really pops on the dark color. I love Hunt & Gather too but I struggle with that store because it's either so crowded where I can't get into every nook and cranny, or I see something I'm interested in and it's buried under 5,000 other things so I'm too afraid to grab it!!
