It was just about one year ago that I wrote about selecting accents for our new home.

But the one area I hadn’t yet tackled was family photos. Just before we moved I did a massive purge of the clutter of random picture frames I’d amassed over the years. I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with how to display family pictures. Between finding the space, selecting the frames, and where/how to display – along with the challenge of staying current when you have a growing family – I got fed up and simply Marie Kondo-ed the place (I do put a photo book together every year, which gives me so much pleasure).

Our new house made it even easier to stick with this plan. As I wrote before, we have tons of windows, and very little wall space for display, which I filled with art that we already owned along with those new pieces we acquired. So there wasn’t much room for photos anyway.

But I’ll admit I missed having family pictures around.

So when Collage.com reached out and asked me to review their products I saw my chance. I spotted their canvas prints and knew they’d be the perfect size and style for a bare living room shelf.

The process was super easy, with lots of options for customizing along the way. You start with your canvas size (I chose the 6″ x 6″):

Then upload your image:

I didn’t want the photo wrapped around the edges so I chose one of the cropped options:

And LOVED that I could change the color of the edges to complement the picture:

A quick preview to make sure I loved the final product:

And I was ready to order!

They are perfect. Small yet sturdy, and they complement my style beautifully. AND NO FRAMES NEEDED!

Best of all, I finally have some real photos – that I just love – on display once more.

There’s a sitewide sale going on right now – 50% off! Use code Bloom50 to apply.

How do you handle family photos? What to pick/keep? How to frame? Where to display? I’d love to know!
