“Photograph:  a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art. ”

~Ambrose Bierce

*Sigh*  My head is always swimming with new and interesting ideas of how I can display the thousands of photographs that I have of my children and family.  Yep, I have taken thousands (millions?!), but there are always those cherished ones that really hit you and you think, “I need to hang this!”.   Alternatively, you hire a custom photographer and invest in gorgeous canvas or print wall art…then, what do you do with them?  Here is a little inspiration to get you dreaming and planning…love these!!  Think beyond an album, beyond the photos on the computer, beyond the desk prints and go big!  It really does make a huge impact.  I have a wall of nine 20×20 frames matted to 12×12 on a large wall in my office (I will have to photograph it and share one of these days…).  I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see the smiles of my children displayed so prominently.

Like this one…you would probably never, ever think to go quite this big, but how could you ever be in a bad mood when you were in this room, looking at these smiling faces?!   Just looking at this makes me grin!

I love the simplicity and symmetry of this display…

This display is just so personal in that it combines photos of your children with framed pieces of their art.  The colors pretty much rock, too.

Ummm, yep.  I seriously would do this!  What a statement!!  No need to say more, it speaks for itself, don’t you think?

Send your wall display photos to me–big or small, black + white or color…we want to see them!  Inspire us!
