Simply, lovely.

I created this comparison chart using the Photographer’s Wall Display Guides (awesome for showing clients how a display will look on their wall with their own images!) to better illustrate to my clients the power of going BIG! Smaller prints are lovely and certainly have their place, but unless you truly see what each size looks like, you might continue to view an 11×14 as large. If you want a single image on a wall and wish to make a statement, larger is better.  Choosing too small of a print or canvas for a large wall often makes people regret not going larger. Do it right from the beginning and treasure that wall and your piece of art forever!

The sweet Tanya sent in these images of her recently created wall display for her daughter, inspired by past Wall Art Wednesday walls! Yay! I adore the bright, colorful frames, the adorable photographs and the sweet word art (I even spy one of mine in there!)

{via}

Don’t be afraid to mix in frames that aren’t filled on  your wall display. It adds a beautiful negative space that is pleasing to the eye and allows for concentration on your whole wall.

{via}

A lovely arrangement in an unexpected way.

{via}

Kids LOVE to see themselves in their room!  I love that this little girl can wake up to her own smiling face each morning–what a way to instill a sense of self…oh, and I adore that she is holding a little Corduroy! My Addie LOVES hers!

{via}

Large canvas collages are a stunning way to enjoy many images from your session and are often a beautiful alternative to an album!

Striped walls and a single framed photo above a bed can make a lovely design statement.

{image via tumblr}

Choose a color scheme (in this case, aqua and red) and paint frames and letters those colors.  Add in little details that further build on your colors for a fun and cohesive wall!

{image via life made lovely}

Black and white frames of differing sizes blocked together look unified and crisp.

Using white frames and pale accents can really brighten a room.

Have a unique wall that you don’t know what to do with, like this brick one? Don’t be afraid to place a single large framed image on it–beautiful and less of a commitment!

{image via the glitter guide}

Placing frames both on top of a shelf and hung underneath can efficiently and beautiful add to your wall space.

Don’t forget to add in special touches that are a part of your photographic memories!

What a fun display to walk into! LOVE this! Gorgeous and colorful word art placed alongside meaningful photographs…with vintage glass bottles to tie it together! Placing the objects that you have in your photographs next to that photograph makes for a special display (a doll next to a photo of your daughter with her doll, cars placed alongside a photograph of your son playing with cars…). Have fun with it and make is truly personal!

Consider painting a group of old or thrift store frames the same fun color as a piece of furniture that you place by them. FUN!

A gorgeous pop of yellow makes this chicken wire frame stand out, and the inside makes it easily changeable.

Have a lot of photographs that you want to include in your collage? How about using (or having your photographer use!) this {album on a wall} template from Design Aglow? Designed to be printed on a 20×48 canvas, this piece makes quite the statement.

LOVE this idea, and it is so versatile! Frame covers and pages of your favorite magazine for instant color and personalization! For a child’s room, you can easily use pages of a Dr. Seuss book or another fave collection!

Welcome to {Wall Art Wednesday}, where I share inspiration for filling your walls with love, memories and photographs!  Be sure to check out more RIGHT HERE!

Today I thought I would share a bit of my own house and how I have used my own crazy ideas as well as inspiration from {Wall Art Wednesday} to decorate our home.  Eek! So strange to make this–as a friend termed it–”Winslow Wall Art Wednesday”! Hehe! Be sure to let me know what you think!

Here is a glimpse of four of our walls…

This is part of our staircase and I have gradually added to it as I have new photographs that I want to add. Don’t think that a photo wall always has to be perfectly planned out or complete right away! Part of the fun is having a mix of images that span different time periods!  I recently added the striped printable (an AWESOME freebie from Holly McCaig Creative that can be found HERE) and placed it inside a Fanciful Frame.  The “W” is from Hobby Lobby that I spray painted yellow–just because I thought it was a fun color!  Many of the frames are from Hobby Lobby, or IKEA, and I have mixed in word art, prints and print wraps to the wall.

This little corner is in the kiddos’ playroom and just makes me happy.  It is an image of Jack and Addie from a few years ago printed on a stunning metal print from MpixPro.  The image is printed right on the metal and it is AWESOME.  Simply perfect for this textured, rusty truck photograph.  When Jack was born, my dear friend Val gave us these colorful canvases from Red Envelope to put his hand and foot print on. I must have just sensed that I would have Addie, though, because I only used two–one for his hands and one for his feet, and the other two have Addie’s at the same age. I love it–such a special memory and right up my alley since it is so colorful.

Okay, so this is my crazy little wall in the playroom just before you get to Addie’s room.  I saw these awesome pink trays on clearance for 99 cents each as well as grey striped trays at IKEA and knew I must make some kind of frame with them! I glued on to the other, had 4×6 prints mounted on styrene from my lab and placed them on with little raised scrapbooking dots.  I affixed them to the wall with 3M Picture Hanging strips and added frames art around it.  NOTE: I think both the pink and striped trays are sold out and no longer carried at IKEA, but similar white ones are sold here or these cool purple dots that would be perfect, too.

This wall in my kitchen was inspired by a previous Wall Art Wednesday find–and is a super  fun way to disguise my thermostat! I have used favorite photos and printable wall art from all over the internet, including freebies from Becky Higgins (she has so many awesome ones!).

This little spot is on the very top of a bookshelf and has an acrylic of Jackson from MpixPro (LOVE this product!!) along with a fun little word art print.  Underneath that is my latest little project–the states where we are “from/were born”. The kids and I did them together the other week and they love to see “their states”!  SO easy as they were a freebie from HERE–she generously shares all the states!!

This stunning display is from the creative minds of Miller’s Professional Imaging and MPIXPro (ahem, Samae!).  Used to showcase their gorgeous products at both WPPI and Imaging, this would be a unique way to display images outside. Have a covered patio and love green? Hang images and favorite photos for a piece that will have everyone talking. This also would be AMAZING for a wedding–can’t you just see guests going here to collect their placecards? Oooh!!
