So many creatives photo display options! Thanks so much for including not just one but TWO of mine 🙂 !!
You are welcome, Sarah!!
I would love to make a full wall of photos, but I haven't been to find anywhere that sells a perplex screen big enough (to cover them to protect them). I really like the chalkboard idea. That could work for us. In fact, I think I might go buy a big one tomorrow!
I love that chalkboard idea, too! Glad you find a helpful idea for your home 🙂
these are all so cool/creative! i LOVE taking photos and i think they're the best to decorate your home with - what better than images of the people & things you love most? finding a pretty way to display them makes it even better.
Yes!! So glad your enjoyed the roundup 🙂
Displaying photos is my favorite thing to do! I have so many pictures around our house it is ridiculous! Love some of these unique ideas!
It makes a house feel like a home!

These are all SO CUTE! I especially love the ladder, windows, and chalkboard! I have a a frame that is wire rods with family pictures clipped on it. It is above my kitchen table. <3
Thanks, Lauren -- glad you liked them!!
Wow there are so many beautiful options out there! Thank you so much for sharing your favorites with us! I can't decide which one I like the most!
Yes - it's a tough decision! So many choices!
These are some fun ways to display photos. So cool and unique - there are some creative individuals out there. Currently, I only two photos up on a small wall. I I have been meaning to do something but moving throws everything off and it is taking a while to get all set up again.
Moving makes things hard for sure! It just takes awhile to get everything sorted out.
So many great ideas here! Good thing I still have some space on my walls downstairs for some pictures. 😉
Thanks!!
love the round up! that gold hula hoop?! genius!!!!
