Last year I shared how we display some of the pictures in our own home.  Rather than feature one large portrait, we’ve chosen to go the route of displaying a sequence or grouping of images in order to decorate the same amount of wall space that a large portrait would occupy.

Recently after Conner was born we decided to put together another grouping, this one in our foyer along the stairwell.  Since this area is a bit more public, we didn’t want to go with the unfinished “shelf” look of the square images we have in our family room.  So we made the decision to frame each image in a matching frame, that also compliments the color tone of our foyer.

One of the reasons we decided to frame these is while the frames will stay on the wall in the same place, we can easily interchange the portraits as the boys grow older, updating the display year after year without having to invest in new frames or display pieces.  Unlike the canvas gallery wrap that we just displayed in Conner’s nursery, we had to replace the entire piece because canvas images incorporate the display function.   All we have to do now is find a place to display the newborn portrait of Jack!
