G is for......

Gallery

as in My Photo Galleries....
I treasure all my family pictures...new and old.




Family room


Hallway .....I painted the mat's to make the photos stand out a bit.

Hallway.....this is a very special collage made for me after my 40th bday by 2 of my wonderful friends. It contains pictures of us from the last 20 years and of my birthday weekend in NYC. I still catch myself pausing to gaze at the pictures now and then....

  15. Your photo galleries are wonderful. I never get tired of looking at photos; I even like looking at other people's photos, if they want to share them with some interesting story-telling! That collage is a treasure.

  16. I like the shelves with the photos on them. Neat idea. I just have mine hanging all over the wall, but I have frames I want to use that I can't really hang. I need to go shopping for some shelves now...

  20. OMG!! See, we really are kindred spirits! I have pictures EVERYWHERE in my house. It drives my family NUTS!! They all make fun of me, but hey, I don't care! Just Friday night, my mother made some kind of snarky comment about how being in my living room is like being in a shrine to Stud Muffin (she made this delightful comment to "the girl"'s mother, of all people!) Whatever!! Maybe I'll post a few photos of my photos...

  21. I love pictures, too--have them everywhere in my house. They make me so happy!

    Yours look great!

  22. I love your 'gallery' Suz... Both George and I have TONS of pictures. I used to have an entire wall full of my family pictures. When we got married and moved here, we put most of our family pictures in albums --and are using our walls for 'our' stuff and our life together. We do have a grandchild wall--which I'm sure I'll blog about someday.

    Thanks for sharing... That collage must have been extremely special for you. Wonder what your friends will do for you when you turn 60 or 70 or 80?????

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  23. I love the family room shelves with the pictures. I need some help in this area. Particularly going up our steps in our foyer. Nothing is on the wall and it looks so bare. We have a tall foyer (18') and it definitely needs something there.

    Love that your friends made the collage for you. How sweet. They must be great friends.

    Much love from NJ,
    Sue

  24. Your walls remind me of ours - at least I think we have walls back there behind all the pictures...

  25. What a great idea to paint the mattes! You are a smartie. I love how your pics are displayed, esp the collage. It's so fun to look at pics and get sucked back into the memories.

  28. This is what I HATE about digital cameras. In the stone ages back when I used to mail the film away and get - woot - DOUBLES, I would take 1 set and add to the photo album and the other and make collages. Everyone in my house stopped aging 6 years ago when we got our first digital and I never ever printed another photo....

  29. I love photos all over a home. It makes it more...well, a home!

  30. You have quite the Gallery Suz! Most of our photos are boxed up. When we downsized they went in boxes and only a few have come out. Your Gallery is making me feel Guilty! Good G word.

  32. I love pictures too. Guess who has about a zillion frames in the garage waiting to be hung? Oh yes, that would be me. Guess who hasn't hung them in a year and 9 months since we moved in...that would be Gary. I should just do it myself, but the hammer makes me nervous...
