i was thinking that it was about time i hung some photos around the house.
i have lots of shabby oil paintings. some vintage maps. twigs. clipboards.
but no photos of the kids.
oops.
anyway. i am not really a fan of the typical 'photo wall'. looks too contrived for me.
but then, i am also not a fan of the traditional family photograph.
so, my thought was to mix it up a little.
pair back a gorgeous photo of a bubba with a still life. some fruit. a leaf. an etching in a frame. **something** to take the 'family idol' look away from the wall.
maybe something like this?
gosh, i love this image. relaxed, country kitchen. (look at the amazing cupboards! and the 'ice box'? swoon..) pops of intense colour. nothing uniformed about the photo wall. all a little ramshackle, yet perfectly balanced.
lovely.
how do you 'display' your photographs?

this is great...who,s home is it?
ReplyDeleteI aspire to a collage wall where I paste up my treasures- photos, old documents, letters- so I can see them anytime instead of having them stored away in a box. Just haven't got around to doing it yet!
ReplyDeleteI mix found objects with empty frames with framed photos as well! I found these beeeautiful really old and beat up oval frames at an antique store that i love! i wrapped ribbon with a flower around one of them and left it empty and put a painting behind the other! I also threw a door knob in the mix! I love the look of weird wall art.
