Family Photo Wall Redux

So you may remember the family photo wall from the tiny apartment.  We took a whole bunch of inexpensive Ikea frames and stapled them together in threes, then tried our damnedest to hang them straight.  It was nearly impossible to get them perfectly lined up, but we embraced/ignored the imperfection.

In the new house our couch is against a window, so we needed to find a new place for the family photo wall.

 

Voila!  Welcome to our new staircase of glory.  We took the same frames and just stepped them up instead of arranging them in a rectangle.  I also added some de-saturated color prints to the black and whites.  I like how it give a subtle touch of color without becoming a cacophony.  Brian likes that the new arrangement is a little more forgiving of our imperfect hanging skills.
