Making a statement with your walls

I burst his bubble by explaining we have no wall at the moment that would work but I am determined to do this one day. Via sköna hem.

I absolutely love every single thing in this home....except that dining table would make me completely mad with all the fingerprints (and I don't even have kids!)
