We have family pictures around the house. A few on the walls, but mostly tabletop - about 4 per room downstairs. I never thought a thing about it, until my S’s old girlfriend told him she had never seen that and thought it was a bit odd.
We have a formal-ish photo portrait of the kids hanging above the buffet in the dining room. I love it! (thankfully, because we paid a pretty penny for it!)
If my H’s office walls are covered with pics of the kids!
Pictures of the kids are everywhere, and many relatives appear on the family room bookshelves. All are on shelves, piano, end tables, etc. None on the walls- except above my work desk upstairs. I made a collage of around 20 favorite kid and vacation photos and could sit and stare at them for hours, remembering all the great times we’ve had together.
None ever in the main living area. In the downstairs hall one very large black and white of each kid
that I love and they hate. The pictures are looking dated as they were taken 18 year ago.
Also! I have felt so guilty that I have no pictures in general that I did put up an attractive black shelf in the guest room and have 4 black and white 10 X 15 – for each person with spouse /and grandkid–which I planned on changing
every 6 months and that was 3 years ago :(( .
Pictures are just not my thing.
Very few in the main living space but in my loft office/den the walls are covered with them. I love being surrounded by the pictures while I surf. With the exception of 3 of them (there’s 39 total, I just counted lol, nearly all in b&w) they are of my two children. The other three are 1) me with my motorcycle 2) my Mom and Dad in Hawaii about 10 years ago and 3) a framed collage my Mom gave to me for Xmas this year with both sets of my grandparents and my parents wedding picture. She put everyone’s birth dates, maiden names, and other information on the back.
it took me 10 years of a staring at a huge blank wall to figure out i wanted a wall collage; so it is meticulously planned and chosen and sized and has all black and white photos of the family. looks good.
my sis has a small cozy place and gets tons of visitors. I LOVE looking around her bookshelves & plants at random, small photos of our extended family over the years. No formal shots, all pix are in small, un-noticeable frames; It’s really sweet and i like that approach.
The only photo in the living room is an aerial black and white photo of the house I designed for my parents. There are two pastel portraits, one of my mother’s mother as a young girl, one of my son at about age eight. He’s sitting sideways in an overstuffed arm chair reading The Lord of the Rings while all his favorite stuffed animals look on. It’s one of my more successful portraits.
Most of the family photos are up in what was the guest room except it got taken over by my younger son. A handful are in our bedroom. There’s a few in magnetic frames on file cabinets in my office or on the fridge - the kids when they were young and cute.
I have a poster sized kindergarten “star of the week” photo collage for each of my children that I have been holding on to for years. I promised myself that I will put them in the frames and hang on the wall leading to our gameroom before next Sunday. I used to have framed photos on table tops everywhere but I hate to dust and the clutter bothers me. There are just a few displayed in my husband’s office.
I got my first little camera pretty young and have been photographing friends and family forever and have tons of photos that I like to take out and look at.
We have some family photos in frames on bookshelves. Not too many but I enjoy looking at them.
Different from what was asked but I had a print up in our master bath that dh never liked (I never knew that) and, for our 30th anniversary, he gave me 30 photos of the two of us through the years and put 12 of them in a collage frame that now hangs in our bathroom, replacing the print. I’m not normally a collage frame fan but, for our bathroom, it’s perfect. Anniversary was about 3 months ago and I still notice it and appreciate it every time I go in our bathroom. The goal was to swap them out as we like. We’ll see if that ever happens.
No, just the dog.
I have a good many. Graduation photos and one kind of braggy pic of my D with a former president. I know it kind of obnoxious but I can’t help myself.
I also have blown up vacation photo pics. My girls are both good photographers so we have cityscapes etc…
I have all sorts of photos on shelves. My kids, my parents, my dogs and my grandson. I am planning on putting up a really cool wedding photo of my youngest daughter. I just have to get to it!
We have framed photos everywhere. Most are scenes from our travels, but I also have lots of pics of family, mainly in the family room. DH likes my photography better than art work. Also have lots of my pics in his office at work.
I have framed photos in most rooms. Most are 5x7 or 4x6. They are of my kids, H and I, some older photos of relatives that were taken in Europe prior to WW II. In the living room they are on a side table and on the piano. The ones with the kids were taken on various holidays. They enjoy remembering the different trips we have taken together. We also have a trio of photos hanging in my kitchen that my youngest put up, that has photos of her horse and our older dogs. I don’t find it odd at all for people to have photos of family in their homes.
Two, framed 5x7s, side by side. One of dh and me that is a portrait orientation and one of ds that is a landscape orientation. However, I’m about to do a small gallery wall of black and white photos in white frames with white mats. 3 single frames (one each of a 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10), one double with 5x7s, and one triple with 4x6s. Thus, a total of eight photos. I plan to have four that are some mixture of the three of us (casual/fun, not portraits) and four that are other things - scenery, flora, fauna, architectural, etc. Not sure yet.
None. I have some family pictures on the bureau in my bedroom.
Quite a few hung on walls. Collage frames that aren’t large but hold quite a few pix. Some 8x10’s in frames that also store 8x10’s right on the frame so that they are very easy to change pix out.
Five generations of family photos. I come from a family of photography- and ancestry-loving folks, which can be a lethal combination.
None on the walls, but there are small framed photos of two of my cousin’s children on one bookcase, and a frame photo of a group of ballet dancers including my daughter on another bookcase. The largest is probably 4" by 6". I have two larger pieces of framed artwork by my daughter from elementary school on the walls.
My brother has quite a few framed photos of our ancestors in his living room. It suits the rest of the decor.
I have a whole set of small framed photos of family in our guest room, on the chest. Most of the other photos, including framed photos, are in boxes. When my “bag a week” program has succeeded, I may get some of them out.
Edited to add: Oh, yeah, the refrigerator. Lots of small photo magnets from various events.
We do have an inherited oil painting of one of H’s ancestors hung in the living room. I forgot about that!
