I’m a huge lover of color, but I always find myself drawn to gallery walls that are full of neutral art pieces like the following:
I love how all of the pieces look like they have been around for years. I always wonder where people find the artwork to go on these sort of gallery walls. I’m sure some have been found at thrift stores, ebay and antique shops. I always have a hard time trying to find these sorts of prints in a hurry, but I recently found a cool shop that makes the search a bit easier.
At Media Storehouse you can search there database for whatever image you desire. Now there is a lot to sort through, but I found some good searches that bring up lots of cream/black artwork options that look like they have been around for ages.
Each category listed above had over 20 pages to sort through and while you have to pay to get printed images they are still pretty inexpensive. Plus all of the images can be enlarged, which is not something you can do when you find a free image online.
What a great source!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I tend to look for this type of thing when I’m traveling. Last year at a small gallery in a little artsy town I got a previous year’s calendar for $1 where each month was a b&w sketch. I framed 2 of them and incorporated them into a gallery wall. They don’t have that old, collected feel, but they do feel very neutral and calm.
Also, I saw a ton of this type of thing at all the little green riverside book/art/magazine/souvenir carts lining the Seine in Paris this summer. Of course, when I first saw them and saw a ton of things that looked interesting, we were in a hurry and I didn’t stop and I totally regretted it!
Media Storehouse sounds great, I can’t wait to check it out. Love the post and thanks for sharing. xoxo

I love gallery walls and I know that I am suppose to be looking at the gallery in each photo but I LOVE the photo with the purple and white chairs. I think I am actually loving those more than the gallery wall!
This is such an amazing post. The gallery walls are gorgeous and the Media Store House is an amazing resource!! It’s so funny that as I was scrolling down the gallery walls my first thought was, this is exactly what I’ll do for my kitchen seating area, then my exact after thought was, yeah but I’m always searching for that kind of print and never really find it (maybe one here and there). Of course you read my mind and provided the perfect solution! That is what makes you truly great, not only do you have amazing ideas that inspire, you really provide the a to z on how we all can do it. Hopefully soon I’ll be contacting you as a client! Thanks again!
