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

We add photos to our walls every chance we get. After our most recent trip to Indonesia, we rearranged furniture in the living room to specifically create a continuous space where we could add 20 new photos we took during our scuba diving. I love the collage look, and like to build our photo walls with frames of different colors and sizes. I have not purchased a Gallery Wrapped Canvas yet - thank you for this opportunity to win one!

Love your photo displays! We do the same and my husband recently started making his own custom frames -- so we have a lot of new photos up in frames - I love it!! :)

In our old house we had a large floor to ceiling photo wall heading up the stairs. It was such a great space for it I left all the frames for the new owner!
Now that we're in our new house - it's time to recreate that wall somewhere else. This might just get me started!

Confession – I do not have one picture hanging in my house. I love taking pictures. I do project life. It is not due to that fact that I don’t have pictures. I just have this ridiculous issue I can’t seem to get passed. In the last 8 years we have moved 6 times. Definitely not complaining we have been blessed with some beautiful houses. I just never settle in the house we are in because I figure we will move again anyway, what’s the point? I want to change this, just not sure where to start. Ali I admire your beautiful walls of photos. Thank you for your inspiration.

I have been trying to get more photos on the wall in my house. For some reason, I haven't been very motivated. Probably because I don't love my house. I have ordered two gallery wrapped canvases and only have one hung. That's on my to do list for this year. I love your arrangements. Thanks for sharing!

Love the canvas print idea...I have many pictures to print but have yet to do it. This would be a great way to get me going.

:)

At this time I have photos in various rooms, on walls in small collages but my husband and I have been discussing putting more photos up. Love your ideas and I am going to share your blog with him tonight to see if he likes some of your ideas. I just think he will. Thanks for sharing.

This post couldn't have come at a better time! We just painted our upstairs hallway this past weekend. All old pictures came down and I've been sitting staring at the walls thinking about what I was going to do...now, I've got several ideas.

Thanks Ali - Love to win and get started!

Over the last few years I have started some of my own photo wall collections. I love having the pictures out and visible. They bring a smile to my face or lift my mood when I see them.

I love photos all around our house. I recently saw someone who had one wall painted red. In the center she used molding to build a frame and inside she put multiple photos. I loved it, I am still trying to convince my husband that it would work in our house. :)

I have one photo wall and I also use several digital photo frames.

Slowly acquiring collections around the house, but they don't look nearly as cool as yours! Would love this new style to start a classy photo wall in our dining area. Thanks for the opportunity (and constant inspriration)!

I have a very eclectic, unplanned approach to photos in my home! I have tabletop frames scattered throughout the house - on end tables, bookshelves, etc.; and a couple of multi-photo frames hanging on the walls. I love the idea of having large photos on the walls - but up til now, I've always had beautiful art prints that were a good substitute. Still not sure how I'll move forward from here... =)

Besides albums. . .our photos 'live' on the walls of our home -usually in some sort of repurposed item. I need to be better about updating the photos -possibly adding to more of them.
One that I will never change or move is stationed on the wall just outside my master bedroom. It is a collage I did that shares photos of our family on vacation in 2005. Our son Chase, who passed away less than 2 short weeks after that trip, has several very cute photos in it. I find it very comforting to look at them when I missing him.

I love being surrounded by pictures of loved ones and places. They have stories behind them. When I pass by them, I smile & remember that this house is full. Over the years, I've learned that although I admire and like beautiful purchased prints & pictures, they don't always warm my heart in the same way.

I am a big fan of family photos & art on our walls too. I would love to get a shot at this new canvas framed print!
Thanks for the opportunity!

We have a large wall of photos in the living room and I try my hardest to update it every year. It is sometimes hard to take down some old favorites, but I always end up loving the change afterwards.

right now, i'm "living" with most of my photos on a hard drive and in my facebook albums :P...hoping i would be inspired, i hung a bunch of empty frames up on the walls in several rooms to get the spacings/groupings right, but 6 months later they're still empty! lol. your photos have re-sparked that inspiration. thanks, ale!

I love photo walls, I think they make it more homey than housey. I've gotten one wall finished (family photos and kid shots) and the other started. Since we moved into our house (nearly 2 years ago) and had our twins (about 16 mo. ago) it has been hectic and lots has yet to be unpacked. I was so excited to get some of our photos back on the wall. It feels like it brings the room together, even though the photos are all from different time.

I love the wrapped canvases you have in your house! They are an inspiration to get the photos off of the computer and out in the house. We have pictures of our children with family and special friends around the house at their level b/c we live far away from most of our loved ones.

Thanks for the giveaway and inspiration.
