This is a sort of art wall. Pictures we’ve collected or taken. The frames are a ‘custom’ bamboo frame. I split some pieces of bamboo I had and hot glued them to existing frames. Also added some small spots on the ceiling for a more dramatic low light level. Prior to this it was very difficult to see anything on this wall. We sort of skirt along this wall when entering the lounge, thus everything has to be kept rather low profile.

The porthole was a Tommy Bahama porthole collected from a family member. I mounted this to a piece of wood from Michael’s and arrayed Govee RGB tape light on the back side. Originally we had wanted to mount an iPad behind this. However, my girlfriend thought a diorama like scene could have a more interesting look. The original finish was silver and is now a nice patina. She also created the diorama from various items mounted to water pattern backer. The jelly fish almost have a black light/iridescent glow under the blue light. She did a great job in my opinion and it looks fantastic.
