After our remodel, I would like to decorate our dining room wall with family photos. I have several different color & size frames from different rooms. Rather than buy new frames, I'm thinking about painting them all white. How do you arrange yours? Pictures would be great!

I think grouping them by frame color would be a good way of unifying them. I'm no help though because I don't decorate or put out any photos whatsoever. I'm weird that way!

I think you should get four identical frames and create a square. It looks really cool. two on top and two underneath

I don't think your weird. I'm limiting mine to this area. I don't like them all over the house.

Gosh! I joke that I'd make wallpaper out of photos if I could! I love putting up photos of family, mainly my kids. I would just put up whatever I like wherever I wanted it. I'm not a very good decorator, I just like what I like.

I'm not a good decorator either My living room currently has 3 ski posters, a photo of a banff, canada and 5 family photos. I'm going to put less in there after the remodel. My husband will be picky about nail holes!

I like your idea of painting them all one color. I have been buying black frames when I buy new and my older ones I have painted all black. As for arrangement, mine are just all willy nilly around the house, so I don't have any "neat" ideas for you, lol.

Black might work out better than white, it will cover easier. I have natural, white, metal & black. I wanted to try to be a "good girl" and not buy anything new.

My friend has a plague that says "Family" in the middle of her pictures. Her pictures are all B&W. I prefer color but it looked very nice.
