I’ve been toying with the idea of having one of Daphne’s pictures printed as a gallery wrap or maybe a standout. I really like the idea of grouping several together, like in this Pottery Barn Kids room:

Or even a wall display with frames like this one from Flickr user life.in.motion. No mattes. Not a fan of mattes.

I don’t know why every design/decorating decision I make has to be so difficult. You should see me try to pick out a bedding set. It could take months. I don’t think I put that much thought into Daphne’s name!!

What I’d really love is a display of photographs and art with different sized frames, lots of different colors and mediums, like you see in design blogs and magazines. The problem with that is I have this “matchy-matchy” gene that renders me incapable of creating those effortlessly eclectic groupings. When I do it the result is more “um, Jenny, were you drunk when you hung these?” (Which, now that I think about it, is probably a valid question anytime I hang a picture. Seriously. I can’t hang a picture straight with the help of a level, crazy glue and half the hardware dept. from Lowes.) Same with clothes. You know how Stacy and Clinton on What Not To Wear are always pairing teal or purple shoes with an outfit that has no teal or purple and it looks really chic. I can’t do that either. I just look like I was running late and couldn’t find a matching pair. That’s ok. I’ll just stick to my own crooked matchy-matchy style.
