Around The Room | Living With Your Photos + Color Inc Giveaway

I want to display more photos - have the hallways and kitchen well covered; need to work on the bedrooms. Your displays are very motivational!

My hubby is the greatest! He built us a computer for our TV using Microsoft's Media Center, and one of the features is a photo screen saver. I can't even tell you how many mornings my three year old has woken up early, clicked the TV on, and just sat and watched the pictures go by. "Dat's ME!" "Mama, you were dressed like a princess!" (wedding photos, so cute!), etc. It's fun to have him see those we love on a daily basis, especially when the majority of my family live in Idaho and Montana, and we are here in the Seattle area.

Hi Ali. How inspirational. We have a few ways we get to see our photos reguarly. All our photos are downloaded to the computer in the family room - the main hub of the house. Once the screen saver comes on, the computer randomly scrolls through our pictures and displays them. Another way is on our Apple TV - also hooked up to our computer. This pretty much does the same thing the computer does, randomly going through the photos and showing them on our large TV in the living room. We have had many hours of laughs and memories with family and friends, watching these pictures pop up I also have one large photo grouping in my home going upstairs to the bedrooms but, no wrapped canvasses are included there. Would love to win one to add to my wall. Thanks for the opportunity.

Ali - Love the collections! I have a wall full of framed pictures around a sentiment, "Family, a journey to forever..." I absolutey love using the vinyl lettering to tell the story of the wall. I have so many photos that I'm sure when it is time to sell the house, the real estate agent will tell us to take them down and it will look like we don't live here anymore! BUT, I would still love to win the opportunity for more! I love the look of the framed art canvas. Brilliant!

Glad to hear good feedback about Color Inc.; I was browsing canvas-printers online the other day, and another company that's highlighted on a lot of blogs (read: gives freebies to a lot of bloggers) got some worrisome feedback from actual customers.

We have loads of wall hangings, but very little of it is photos--something I'd like to remedy (which is why I was looking for printers!). One project I have started is an "I thank God when I remember you" wall, with some painted canvases I've made, and pictures of special friends/family. We're a military family and move frequently, and I want to be able to see our extended "village" every day! :)

We have a collection of smaller framed photos on the mantle and bookshelves. We do a professional portrait session every other year, and the big framed pictures on the wall are from the most recent of those. I'd like to incorporate our daily candids more somehow, but as it stands now, there are years worth on the computer. Love what you do and how you do it, Ali. And adore that mounted frame!

We have some monthly frames in our kitchen, but I'm not great at updating them according to my children. I really need to add more pictures to my walls. I think putting them in your child's room is a great idea!

Love all your photos on the walls! We have a glass table in our foyer upstairs with photos from before kids & now with kids - different kinds of frames (mostly gifts). Then I have photos on the way up the stairway (large window). Instead of using it as a seated window, I put photos here. When we moved in my daughter was one and I didn't want her climbing the stairs, so we didn't use it to sit at. She's now 8 and she & her sister love to read, so I might put the pics on the wall so they can sit at the window to read.

Love the chance to win! I live with our photos in an old school way-dated photo frames, and would lovooove to update them! Thanks for the chance to win :)

I love how you combined the mounted photos with the framed photos. I'll have to try that :)

I have galleries in my front hall and living room. Working on building one in my family room right now!

I love photos and try to incorporate them in my home as often as possible. Just yesterday I added photos to wall frames and desktop frames for my son's room. I want to do a photo collage of family pics in our upstairs hallway. I haven't started yet because I couldn't decide between gallery wrapped or framed but I now want a combination like you have shown today. Thanks for your inspiration.

I am struggling with this concept right now as I'd like to display more photos. We have a very small house and lots of art work so space is an issue. We tend to just have smaller framed photos sitting on tables and mantels and I'd like to update some of these as well as enlarge some others for our walls. Thanks for the ideas here! I'd love to start off with one of these lovely giveaways.

I love creating photo collages on the walls in our home. I might get a little too carried away with that one! And, we have photos albums on all the tables--living room, bedroom, dining room, even the office. I love being surrounded by the memories of where we've been and members of our family.

I have photos all over and am constantly changing and rearranging. I have vintage photos up, and pics of my family thru the years. B&W and color, sepia. With frames, hanging from clips, gallery wrapped, you name it. I love this floating frame - gives the picture a very nice finished look!

Your picture groupings gave me some new ideas to try. I want to make an arrangement of my grandchildren from some of my scrapbook pages. Thanks for showing pictures of your picture groups!

We're just starting to 'live' with our photos. Most are in scrapbooks, but I'm starting to put some out in the hallway and on the tv stand in the living room. The canvas prints look absolutely awesome in your hallway. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I have lots of photos in my home too. My problem is, you eventually get too many, and have to update some old favourites. I don't always want to take down the old... I LOVE decorating with pictures that make my heart the most happy.
Thanks for the chance to win!

We have our wedding collection just as you come in the front door for all to see then we have a wall of two long shelves in our living room with pictures of our family and friends that we love so much. Thanks for the chance to win ... I am very excited.

I have very few walls in my house, so I have tons of framed photos sitting on tables, etc.

Getting our family photos off of my computer and onto our walls is one of my resolutions for 2011! I love the look of these canvas prints.
