need some advice on what to do with this wall in our kitchen. pics would help if you have ideas.

we thought about tiling it halfway with wainscoting at bottom. or wainscoating and then chalkboard paint at top.

Add greenery. Especially with it being near the kitchen you could try herbs. I also like the idea of chalkboard paint. You could frame it with molding to set it apart.

I have a small wall like that between my kitchen and part of the dining room. Years ago I found this great panoramic picture frame that I hang there.

Your second photo brings me right to the stairwell scene in Hitchcock's "Vertigo," although I realize I'm looking up, not down. It's really rather wonderful. I'm just wondering, looking to the upper left in particular, if it's been recently checked out by a structural engineer. As for paint, I'll be interested to see what others say. For me, who doesn't do a lot of white, I think I actually would stay with a white here. A muddy green might be nice as well, but you'd need to incorporate a bit of lighting -- perhaps uplighting along the beams unseen from below, with something amazing hanging from that cool, crazy peak you have.

Maybe you could add some panels in line with the cabinets to give an illusion the kitchen is bigger than it really is.

instead of the clock, cute dog sign, and 3 hard to see photos, replace with a single piece of art. if you need a clock, just have a clock.

you can hang the cute dog sign lower, below counter height, so the dog can enjoy it.....

I know...clock picture and dog sign are not doing anything....very random....feel free to post pictures with suggestions. still have to paint walls too so thought about the wainscoating from counter down and then backsplash or variation of it on the top

I think I would put a small cupboard there - for extra storage - dishes etc. Let me find a pictured. For sure, no wainscotting or tile.

I was thinking something similar to this. Maybe it's not the color you might like (on 2nd thoughts it might go with your chairs). You might find something used and paint it. It would have to be narrow so not to block too much space, then hang art work above it.

Create a drop zone with 12" deep upper kitchen cabinet bolted to wall floating above doggie bowl. Try framing in above cabinet then do a chalk paint center for notes etc.
do a bold color for the wall first.
