Family Walls and Frames Galore

There's something special about family photos and pictures of

kids, grandkids, etc.  Back in the day we usually had a spot on the shelf or

on the mantel of the fireplace with just a hodgepodge of frames,

none of which matched, with pictures of us from school, holidays, etc.

They really weren't intended to grab anyone's attention really.  Heck, we had photo albums that we occasionally bring out and go through together just to reminisce. 

But today, families are going on the wall! Right in the spotlight, a special wall

designated for pictures, open frames, phrases and whatnots.  I've seen a few

special walls done and not all of them include highlighting family photos or trips.

I've seen some now where the empty frame is the highlight. Whether its due to

the shape, color, size or detailing of this empty frame, it was going to be

the focal point..here are some examples of Walls, from family to frames, but each

designed to ones unique taste and preferences.

This is the wall in my living room.  I have a very small home but was able to designate a space for my family and some color frames...

Here is another example of a friend's wall (Great job Joni!) that utilizes white frames against a dark wall.. I love it!

just a couple of other ideas from pinterest (which is an invaluable resource for all kinds of ideas!)...
