Most of the people I know have their families photos in their house. Whether by the fire place, on the coffee table, in the hall way, in the living room hall, even their toilet wall....
I hang lotsa photos in my living room. Most of them is my daughter picture and couple other picture (wedding, family and memorable moment).
While in my father in law house, I turned their hall when you enter the house into photos hall. I put a lot of different picture from family to friends and my parent in law favorite house pets. They love it. My parent in law love to tell stories, so when somebody visited them and see all those picture, they'll tell about it with enthusiasm. It helps keep their memories sharp too.
Where di you put your family or memorable photos in your house ????

We have a lot of photos being showcase in our house. In the hall, we've our family photos taken with hubby's parents and siblings and my parents and siblings. While in my children's room, is all about them growing up and in our bedroom is all about us, from the first time we met to our wedding photos. We'd segregated them, so that the most private ones are only for us to see to remind us of our fond memories together. :

I have most of my photos in a big box that resembles a hat box. I am just now starting to put the more recent ones in a photo album. I use to keep photos in an album, but they kept tearing up, so it has taking me many years to get the urge to do it again.
I think it is because my niece just had a baby and I just love him so much. It has prompted me to want to start keeping my pictures better organized again. I also have a lot of them downloaded on my computer. When I finally have children of my own, I will have photo albums stacked everywhere.

I have most of my family photo's in the living room on a book shelf and also on top of my filing cabinet in the den. I have so many that I don't know what to do with, so I put out my favorites and am going to have to do something with the rest of them as soon as I get some different frames for htem. I intend to make scrapbooks for periods of my life while my husband is on deployment, that will give me something to keep me busy and it will be nice for him to come home and see them completed. I plan to do one of him and I, one of the kids and one of his military career up until now.

Hehehe...we are facing the same problem. Too many of them and we just don't know what to do. That's an excellent idea about scrapbooks ....maybe I should make couple of them too a "story of my life"...
Thank you for the idea, love it !!!

We maintain albums to store all the photos other than hanging very few on the walls. Not many pictures are hung on the walls of my house.

At house we do not display the photo of ours to the visitor. Maybe only for those relatives and friends. We put all the photos in the album...

I've noticed this too. Back home, there are only few people that I know would display more than 3 of their families foto's on the wall. Mostly they keep all of them in photos album in the living room.
Thank you for your respond !!!

We have most of the framed photos posted in our living room hall.When one enters they can see my parents wedding photo and its the best of all the other photos.Both of them will look gorgeous in their wedding suits.eventhough its a black and white photo it will look so good.Then we have my elder brothers wedding photo who got married in jan 2007.
My graduation photo which my dad framed it and he really feels proud of it.The childhood photos of myself and my brothers and the most memorable is of my dog tommys who is not with us now.Its posted near our dinning table hence i get to remember when ever i sit there.
There are some photos in my brothers room which contain his wedding and schoolday photos.

They are hanged on the sitting room walls, but not many, to many of them makes it look like museum center, lol, I dont fancy it when I see many family photos on the wall but just a few of them, then the remaining ones should be inside an album and keep in the sitting room, for visitors' viewing.

I have my family pictures, including the pets, from the living room to the bedroom, almost in every room, however, not in the bathroom. I like having them downstairs and upstairs since I live 1600 miles from most of my family.

our family pictures are actually saved by my mother. i mean, she is keeping and hiding them somewhere in the house. so if there is one particular picture i need, then i simply ask my mom where they are and look for myself. usually they are inside of one of our cabinets. but some are scattered but organized into albums in the attic. heeheh

That's just so sweet. You put your family picture almost everywhere as well as in the kitchen so you can look at them while you are cooking. The family pictures can surely bring smile everytime you look at them.
Thank you for sharing !!!

Hello!(",)
My family likes to keep photos of special occasions. Usually it is kept safe in the locker to keep it away from all the dirt and dust. Some are in the picture frames displayed in our living room. Most of the albums are kept and if there's a visitor we take it out for them to see the latest pictures.
Great day!(",)

Photo album is also very nice way to keep all those precious moment. Back home my family did the same and most of our visitor loves to look photo albums. But here....most of people I know hardly touch it unless you give/offer them a photo album to see or display them on a frame.
Than you for sharing !!!

I place my pictures on the shelves in my room. I have blank shelves intended for decorations and my mom actually designed it for such. I am fond of placing my family pictures in pretty frames and put it on the shelves where I can see it everytime I'm inside my room.
