I'm struggling with where to put some of our paintings and pictures - a few are rather large and
simply don't suit in the lounge room since the wall space is limited due to furniture, windows or doorways ........ and with the older house, I had really hoped to gather a number of different frames to pop on the wall with various family photos ....... but now, well, I'm just not sure. I spent hours going through piles of old photos, then having to pick ones that would fit the frames ......... and of course included everyone ......... I still have to fill the middle frame with a larger wedding photo, and also there will be another larger frame at the top
above the middle white one which will have a family photo that includes our DIL, grandchildren and daughters partner (I just have to go through the computer and print it off). But when I look at the photo of the blank wall and then with all the family frames, I wonder if it is too much?
Sometimes the smallest things seem to be the trickiest - never did I imagine dithering around with the photos and paintings! Usually I have them up pretty quickly, but now I think I'm perhaps over thinking it all - after all, I'm not going for a magazine spread lol!
Still, I'd be very happy to get your thoughts ........
Now, If I could just sort out this study/library area that is already over flowing with papers and files, photos, books and magazines, old files that need to be kept for several years and all the stationary items I seem to have acquired!!!!! ......... Yep, there are still things to sort out, places to find for things to "live" ......... and today I start a new job so we shall see how that goes tooo!
Have a great day everyone!

I like all the photos on your wall above the lounge....
There never seams an end to sorting out especially when you have moved.
Good luck with the job.
It's looking great to me. Good luck with your new job :)
I think it looks lovely. I love to see a house with signs that people actually live there. Minimalism is definitely not my thing
Hi Sharm. I like the look of gallery walls. I think you're on the right track. It always takes a while to get used to a new look. I would say try spreading out the photos a bit more. Maybe even put some on the next wall. You have tall ceilings so I would say you could even go a little higher too. Hope that helps. :) I'm sure it will look great whatever you decide to do.

My daughter is a master of interior decorating and I'm terrible at it, but I do like the cluster of small frames around a large one. She does that quite often. She has small shelves also that she places stand up frames on here and there. I should take some pictures and post them for you so you can see her technique... not mine. I don't have a bit of wall space anyway, so it doesn't matter for me. I love what you've done with the house so far... curtains and such. It's so lovely.
I love groupings of photos....they speak of who lives within. Live with it for awhile. You will soon know if it's not working xx
I'm with you.. it takes a while to sort out. It looks great. I haven't put any photos up because I don't want it to look like my old house. Not wanting it the same but not sure what to do.
Good for you tor giving it a go.
I am sure you will get them sorted. We put some of ours just up against a wall and then I found the perfect place for large pictures on a sloping ceiling in the attic. Take care ;) x
haven't heard anything in a while... hope all is OK...
