Home is where the pictures hang

Some of you visited our last house and saw our huge wall of family photos. I loved it. It was such a fun focal point, a conversation piece, and when I wanted it to be, a walk down memory lane. Every photo had a story.

I have really missed that wall.

It [only] took four months to get photos on the walls in our new house. I recently divided our original photo wall in two, replaced and updated lots of the pictures, and created a new collage with frames that used to hang in Garry's office. Our prints arrived via UPS on Friday, I framed everything on Saturday, and today was the day for the hammer and nails.

This project required a lot of work and brain power, and I'm the first to admit that the frames aren't completely straight or evenly spaced. I tried.

Imperfections seem to be the spice of my life, though. And I love seeing smiling faces on my walls. It makes me feel at home.

That is so cute! I will be copying you at some point in time. We have yet to hang anything on the walls and it's driving me crazy.

love it. And I couldn't tell they weren't spaced perfectly.

Looks great! I've been thinking I need to redo some walls... What type of frames did you use?

Such a great job Heidi! I truly need to get our photos off the computer & into our home. I love the sepia, BW & color themes.

Mixed feelings seeing these photos. I loved your photo wall in Oregon. This one looks fabulous too. It just means you're really going to stay there in Colorado and you're really making a "home" out of your "house." I am happy for you! Although, you're definitely missed here in Oregon.

pass it on!
