When I created the gallery frame wall in our living room {shown below} it was exactly what I had in mind to showcase our wedding/engagement photos.

We adore our “love wall” BUT I still have so many photos!!
I was browsing Pinterest & came across this really cute idea of doing a collage wall full of pictures – I know that may sound really tacky but if done right, it looks amazing!

My favorite is the one below. I really like the look of having the entire wall covered from top to bottom. It’s almost like personalized wallpaper.
Heart shaped collage – does it get any cuter!?

Now the question is where do I create this photo collage in our house?!
Artistic photos, vintage, black & white photos etc can create whatever look you are going for.

Using a large frame like the one below is gorgeous to!
So far here are my wall options:
I’m leaning toward this skinny wall that is the threshold between the dining room and living room. I would make the collage go above the doorway & down the left side, filling the entire wall.
What do you think? It could look really bad, but I think it’s worth a shot!
Or we could do it on this wall near my closet. This wall is a lot wider and will fit more photos.

Or option #3 – this door that covers the furnace, in our hallway.
Not the cutest door, but a photo collage could definitely bring some pretty to this dingy closet.
Plus I would replace the knob with a jeweled one – I don’t know, could be cute. What’s your favorite spot for the photo collage? Leave me a comment with your vote. I can’t decide!
We hope you are all having a fantastic week so far!
**UPDATE**
I decided on the dingy door. See more photos here
