So, what did you do for Labor Day?
On Saturday, Michael and I decided to finally tackle our ominous photo collage project. We’ve been wanting to hang something above our couch since we moved in and thought a family photo collage would be a good idea. I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to dig up pictures for the frames, and still wasn’t finished. With family coming into town on Sunday, we decided to just bite the bullet and get it done, whether or not we had pictures in all of the frames.
We liked how it turned out so much we wanted to finish pulling the room together. So, we did another project we’ve been meaning to do–move our bookshelves into the living room. Here’s a quick snapshot of the finished project.
We love it!
Note: yes, our couch is covering up a fireplace. It’s in a really awkward part of the room and since we live in the desert, we knew we just weren’t going to be using that fireplace much.

LOVE photo walls! I love ours and I love that you did one too! It’s such a great way to display pictures. I didn’t have enough for ours so we have to get more printed, but it’s so fun to see them on the wall, isn’t it?
The room looks awesome! It’s so friendly and inviting, and your pillows add such fun razzamatazz to the room, congratulations!
And now I understand why I didn’t recognize all the people in the frames.
wow, that looks beautiful! it really does bring the whole room together. did you lay it out on the floor first, or just freehand it?
Brittany, we laid it all out on the floor beforehand to kind of get an idea. Then we started with the largest picture in the center and worked our way around it. It worked out pretty well.
I’m in love, love, love with your photo collage!! The frames are all SO awesome. I also adore your pillows AND your two vases. WHERE’D you get the owl one? I’m in love.
The owl one is actually one of a pair of bookends from Barnes & Noble. I LOVE them.
I love your blog and your photos. Great job. It represents family. PS: I really like the owl
Emily you are a decorating genius. I love your photo collage.. I might have to steal a few ideas from you for my living room if that’s okay. Your house looks beautiful p.s.
love the collage! I want to do one.
