Photo Display

Every year as spring arrives, I get a surge of energy that I use to advance home projects. Each year the challenges are a little different. This year, it's all about transforming the factory like quality of our living space (multiple projects scattered around, no clear delineation of work and living space) into a home where there's "a place for everything and everything in its place" (i.e. some sense of order before I lose my mind).

One of the projects I've started trying to get under control is our photographs. I'm finally framing pieces that have been sitting around for far too long, which means rearranging the existing photographs to accommodate the new. It's amazing to me how this simple act has brought new life to my rooms. I've become more brazen about grouping photographs together, creating a display wall instead of bringing everything to eye level. I've been tucking smaller photos into unused spaces, layering frames on mantels and stacks of books. Overall, just creating a warmer and cozier environment - which is exactly the motivation I need to move on to more challenging tasks.

I've been so inspired by working photographs into my home that I gathered some visuals I hope will inspire you to make your own changes. Even if you love everything in your home exactly the way it is, consider shifting your photos around. You might be surprised by how fresh everything appears and how your old favorites suddenly become new again.
