Twenty Terrific and Creative Photo Display Ideas

When I go to visit my mom she has photos plastered on the fridge of the grandchildren at every single stage of their lives. Not only on the fridge…but on her etagere, the coffee table, the nightstands and I think the only rooms barren of those snaps might be the two bathrooms in her condo:-). I guess that is pretty typical for a grandma and perhaps if the day ever comes that I’m one I will do the same. However…I’m into decluttering mode and honestly don’t want to dust every surface. I think that I’m more likely to hang photos on the wall or take a cue from some of my blogging friends rounded up below and DIY a project. Let’s see creative photo display ideas they have to show us. Check out the inspiration!
