This week's Kelly's Korner Show Us Your Life theme is Ways to display your pictures.
Well, I am one of those people who take hundreds and hundred of photos, and never print out a single one. I have years and years of school pictures that are still in their original holder. I've just never been one to display pictures. It's not that I don't love to look at them, because I do. I've just never really known how to display them in a way that I like (and that I can afford).
Well, I had a giant blank wall over my bed and I just knew I wanted to do something dramatic. I found this photo:

We love the look so much, we don't even want to buy a headboard because we are scared it will interfere with the photos.
We love this wall so much, we want to do something similar to this in the living room above the couch:
