My yellow wall...once again!

I have blogged about my living room and the yellow wall before....( see here & here). You can catch a glimpse of it in my present blog header as well...some may say that I'm obsessed with it, and I will admit that it's true to some extent.... 

My living room is an ever changing canvas for me, the only thing constant being the yellow/orange wall with the motifs. I keep adding, changing things around here....So this time I changes the artwork on the wall. Those of you following my blog may remember my recent post on frames that I found. 

I have had the idea for a long time, and have been working on it little by little...finally I put it all together. 
Here is what I did....I spray painted the frames a dull gold, and hung them together on this wall.


This is how the frames looked when I got them....


A close up of the painted frames on the wall...




Within one of the frames, I added a wooden block (coincidentally it was already painted golden from the time I used it for decorating a gift wrap)

In another one, I hung a Tibetan bell.


On the side of the frames, I added a wooden shelf with a hint of green and a small golden Buddha head.

Now, a little bit about this wooden shelf.....This was a garage sale find for a dollar. The moment I saw it, I fell in love with its old and rustic look with the carving. For one dollar, it was a steal. I have had this for a while, only waiting to find a good place for it.  May be now, it has....






So what do you all think of my new wall decor? Like it...???
I'm really not sure of what's looking good and whats not...?? I would love all the feedback on this, good as well as bad, do let me know.....

    Neha, you have a fabulous wall, color is just great.I m jealous that ur lil one allows u to keep plants etc. on floor. Frames look great, and shelf is really a great find, adding the bell and block is brilliant idea.as you asked about the feedback it looks great though I feel that shelf is kinda left out, may be you can incorporate it at corner or between frames and put all together as a group, just my 2cents.

    Orange is also my favorite color, and I like the way you have done it up, it looks lovely. In the picture the wall looks more orange, though I am sure it must be shades of yellow and orange, but in pictures it always shows more of the dominant color. Even we have this color, and in photographs it always shows a bright orange, maybe I don't know how to take pictures.

    Your wall is my favourite too and not only you even I am obsessed about it. I always make it a point to glance at it for a while whenever I drop in to your blog.

    The frames are a good idea. Even I have two empty frames with broken glass. I love the bell you have hung in one of those.

    Very creative!!

    Thanks for all the feedback guys!
    @Nayana: Thanks for your advise Nayana. The shelf is not a part of the frames composition...I'm thinking I should move it a little further to the right...or as you suggested- make it a part of the frames...

    The more you work on 'the' wall... the better it looks. The golden frames look amazing... the addition of the bell and wooden blocks is such a beautiful thought.

    The wooden shelf for a dollar is a deal!! I wish I was there for the sale ;) I love your money-plants and I sooo want them in my house!! The glass jar has been so beautifully put to use. Something I can relate to.
