Before & After: Photo Collage

I LOVE filling frames with family photos!  It truly delights my heart!  Before Claire it seemed quite redundant to put Kevin and I in frames all around the house, so I tried to control myself...but now I just can't help it!  I had to find a wall to display some of my favorite family moments!  So, we decided to do away with out coffee paintings in the breakfast room.  I do miss them.  I really liked them.  We are saving them for "someday" when we have more walls to fill in another home.  So, here is the "before"...

And here is the after!  What I didn't realize was just how much glare there would be on all the photos!  oops, oh well!  I still love it!  These frames were such a deal at Michael's!  They were on sale for 40% off and then I had a coupon for 20% off your entire purchase, so they were practically a steal!  I love that they even came with a double mat!  I would have bought 20 more if I had the walls to put them on!

Here is another shot with less glare!

It's my new favorite place in the house now and I love to show Claire all the photos and tell her about them!  She loves it too!  What are your creative ways for displaying family photos?  I would love ideas because I know I will be wanting to put out more photos as she grows!
