Parlor Photo Wall

We've been working on converting the room that was the old dining room, into a formal parlor.
I wanted to put a bunch of old family photos on the one wall.  I already had the frames from the photo wall in the old house.  I went through and swapped out some photos for ones we liked better, and added a couple of newer ones.

Then I had the kids help me trace & cut out templates so I could figure out placement before putting any holes in the wall.  I left the templates up over night, to make sure I still liked the format in the morning (although some of the painter's tape that I used started to peel up!)

Then I got started hanging the frames...


It took a while, and I still need two 5x7 frames for the top right.  I ran out to the store, but couldn't find any that I really liked.  So, I'm still on the hunt for those!

There are a couple of news articles mixed in that featured great grandparents, grandparents & parents.  Also added is our wedding invitation that a college friend had water color painted and framed as a gift.








I'm really pleased with how it came out.  This room is slowly coming together.

It looks like we're going to be snowed in for a few days here, so I hope to get some photos & posts together!
