Go or No?
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We hung our 11×13 frames above our couch the first month we lived here. They held our wedding pictures but we soon anticipated swapping them out for a more living room friendly vibe and a little more color.
I recently received a comment saying they liked the photos above the couch. My Mom is also in that camp. I lean more towards the “don’t put up wedding photos all over the house.” In case you’re curious, we also have engagement/wedding photos in our bedroom.
Here are the prints that I just picked up to replace our pictures (sorry this is an ebay photo). They’re bigger than the wedding prints at 16×19 so I’m not too worried about them looking small above the couch.
The green is pretty bright. If we go with these I’ll probably add in some green throw pillows on top of the grey ones. I’m really hoping this makes our room a little less blah. It seems so plain. I’d like to add in a punchy color and I think the green will do the trick.
My only concern with these is that they’re too impersonal. Maybe they look a little too much like hotel prints?
So dear readers, I need your help. Do they stay or do they go? Should I replace the wedding pictures with the ones I’ve just bought? Start from scratch? Any other solutions you can come up with? I’m all ears!

You could color your wedding pictures with a magic marker for a pop of color. Or BeDazzle the frames.
You’re welcome.

I retired my bedazzler in 8th grade. I’m not sure that the picture frames are the right venue for it to make it’s triumphant return.

I’m a big fan of swapping with the seasons. The new ones look very spring and summer to me so I’d swap out the wedding ones for these and then find something else for fall, winter, ya know, til you run out of storage space. Or just bedazzle the couch.

I actually really like the green. I think the new throw pillows will especially brighten the room up!
