Ok, more specifically - show me how you display your pictures on your walls! I have tons of fun wall space in the new place that I didn't have before - I want to do some fun photo clusters or displays of some sort but I need some inspiration!

Jacque, I know you have some awesome stuff - I can't remember if you posted the pics here or on Facebook though! LOL
 
Jacque's are on FB. My walls are bare, after 3 years, they are still bare! I just can't decide how I want everything! I'm awful!! LOL!! Jacque's are AWESOME though!!
 
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
now............ my walls have paint swatches all over them!
LOL
I'll see if I can't dig up some photos.
:)
 
ok.
found a few.
they are old(er) now.
and some have changed a little.
others a lot.
LOL
when we get the house painted and i re-do some of them
you can be sure i will post more pictures!
LOL

this is in our family room.
it's still pretty much the same.. minus the ugly fan.
this wall will be changing drastically as my husband is building a huge
entertainment center that will take up that wall.
but he built me these frames a few years ago.
i still love them and will move them some where else.

this is also in the family room. above the mantel.
(which my husband is re-building a new mantel this winter for me)
this is fairly new. i've added a few small photos.
but until i get my new (bigger) mantel, i can't add much more too it!

ok. this isn't really a photo wall.
but it's one of my favorite walls.
i had my husband build this board with back pack pegs on it.
(i copied these ideas from pottery barn. LOL)
then above it is a similar board but with huge clips on it.
i hang LARGE 12x12 photos on it
or the kids art work. this is changing constantly. it's right by the front door.

this is the wall adjacent the front door.
we just did this last year.
but i don't love it.
i have about 50 frames, but that wall is so large that i ended up not loving
it like i thought i would. (shhhh don't tell my husband)
it was a pita to put up. i won't be changing this much.
but i bought some vinyl words and after we paint.
i will still use all the frames, and cluster them but there will be a 2 inch space
between each frame.

this is my absolute favorite wall in my home.
it's HUGE! about 9ft x9ft.
each clip frame is @20inx20 inches.
i got them at ikea, however ikea has discontinued them.
the photos are easy to change and it takes up so much
of that wall, that i just love it to pieces!

not a wall. but after a year of collecting black frames for above the stairs.
i started to miss my cluster of frames on our grand piano.

a wall in jennas room.
these paintings are by anne dejong.
i just matted and framed them, and i get SO many compliments on this wall above jenna's bed.
i had to add it to this post.

i have more clips frames from ikea...huge. bigger than 20x20 i think they are 20x30?
i got a few for each kids room.
and will put pics of each of them up in their own rooms
from our little back to school photo shoot we had a couple months ago.
but right now i'm concentrating on painting.
it's such a daunting job.
ick.

i love photo walls. if i could have my house covered.
i absolutely would!

my sister ALSO has some amazing photo walls.
next time i'm over there, i'll take some pictures to share!

good luck!
can't wait to see!

Jacque - *swoon* I need you to come help me decorate my house. I'm totally doing that wall with the big pics - I have a spot that's about the size but not as tall so I might do 9 12x12 frames there if I can find them. LOVE that! And I love the pics going up your stairs. Love it all!!!
 
I'll be watching too - we painted our walls this summer, and they are all still bare. Love your walls, Jaque!
 
oooh jacque can i borrow you and your hubby lool... loove all your walls...
in my old flat i had a lot of photos at the stairs too and for the new one i`m also still thinking what to do...
hey would you share some pictures of your boys rooms with me :flirty
 
yay!! i want both Jacque and her hubby to come do my walls!! FOR SURE!!!
 
hobby lobby has 12x12 metal frames for $5 each. they aren't frameless.
but the black around it is rather thin.
i have 6 of them in my room. they would be perfect for that!
 
I have all my frames on the wall - I'm just trying to decide what pics to put in them!! LOL
 
ok - so I took a picture of my wall in photoshop and put some digital "frames" on there with the pictures I'm thinking of putting in them. It looks pretty close to how the frames actually do look on the wall. So what do you think of the pictures? Do they look alright? Does the arrangement between b/w & color look ok? 9 12x12s are pretty pricey so I want to make sure it looks awesome before I order them. LOL

oh yeah! I think they look fabulous! I love that you mixed B&W and color pics! AND I love that you did this in photoshop first! Such a digi girl! :) LOVE that bottom left photo too! So good!
 
lol i read the title and was like no. my walls are just big white blank walls.. ^_^
I've actually NEVER hung photos... I'm always jealous of all the beautiful displays everyone else does... but apparently I'm really lazy. and like living in an empty box :p
 
I'm actually using the 3G command strips to hang all my pictures here. I love them!!!
 
i just hung up a set of frames that i got last year for christmas. they still have what my family calls 'the k-mart kids' in them, but here's the arrangement:

(sorry it's so dark... my daughter was asleep on the floor beside me while i was doing this. oh, and please ignore the fact that my desk chair is a metal folding chair. lol)
 
btw, i LOVE the 12x12 frame idea. i actually got a few of those frames from HL you were talking about, but i was too dumb to put pics in them actually... every time i tried to fasten them in, the glass broke... i gave up. lol!
