Is this too many pictures?
It is going to go on this wall by the stairs.
Or is this better?
Should they hang in a similar arrangement as I had them on the floor or should they sort of follow the stairs?
Just thought I would ask .

Help!
So the kids are back in school, it is time to go back to decorating the house. I have been wanting to work on a family photo wall. So I collected a bunch of different frames, sprayed them silver and then rubbed them with black paint so they would look sort of pewter colored. Yesterday I stuck my favorite pictures in them to see how it would look. So now I am too close to the project to see if it is working. There is going to be a large picture of my family in that empty frame in the middle. So what do you think? (Forgive the blurry pictures!)

I love picture walls like that! I think both options work well. Have you thought about having them all be made into black and white or sepia?
I love those picture frames, they are a very cool color and they look kid of faded. I think faded things make it look textured and elegant/antiquey. I like both choices. From, Golda
P.S. check out my blog, I'm having a give-away!
I guess my kids have been blog surfing! I think the first one might have been Lexie. It also looks like they've been watching too much Design Star, which also explains my laundry room. :)
I think I like the arrangement with fewer pictures, and I think you should arrange them going on an angle with the stairs. Know what I mean? Do you need me to hold the ladder?
I say start with one frame and work your way out. You have a super artistic eye and will know when to stop. Besides, I love tons of photos grouped together. I am pretty sure you have seen the pictures of my art wall, I'm all for it ;)
I'm with Circe...I like option 2..and with an angle. Love what you did with the frames. You have inspired me to start a project!
you can never have too many pictures...right? i think either option will be fabulous. the stairs are a perfect place for them!! xoxo
My suggestion is to take each frame and trace it on a piece of paper. Use blue paint tape to arrange the pieces of paper on the wall to your hearts content. This is the way to do a wall collage w/out making one more nail hole than you need. :)
