When I framed some family heirloom photos, I wanted to create a vignette to tie everything together instead of just hanging pictures on a wall. Here’s where I started in a lone corner of my dining room.

I hung the photo collage and paired it with a vintage vanity stool that I found junkin’.

My mother passed on to me a set of key wall plaques that came from her mother. I used one on our Stairway Gallery Wall, and hung the other 2 here.

In addition to the photos I hung, there was this one that I framed and placed on the vanity bench. It’s a photo of a family picnic complete with a horse drawn buggy!

How amazingly cool!

Look at the Gibson Girl hairstyles and long dresses!

The man with the mark on the photo is my Great Great Grandfather.

So handsome!

I placed a book pedestal under the photos to fill in the blank space.

I placed our family bible we got at our wedding years ago on the pedestal.

It’s a great reference tool to have out and my boys are constantly looking through it.

Keeping with the key theme, I found some keys I used years ago.

I love that one key reads ‘Memory.’ Quite fitting don’t you think?

I share with these wonderful people.
