Stairway Finished?

We started this project a year ago (Stairway)...pulling up carpet, installing wood floors and adding bead board. All I had left to do was hang family pictures, but I couldn't decide what I wanted. I am not one to have many family photos around the house, I like to corral them into one area. The hallway is "family photo central" and I needed to find a way to add all these wonderful memories without it looking too cluttered. Our ceilings are 18' high and fewer bigger items look better than many small.



I found a couple of large ornate frames and painted them in my favorite paint colors. Then I spent weeks looking over family photos, choosing my favorites to make into collages (I made black & white copies). So far I have completed three; family, our children and my husband and me. I still need to find another frame and fill in the last space.

  3. It looks fabulous! I love the idea of a "collage" instead of individual photos and the pops of color against the black and white is fantastic!
