{ resolutions... }

Hi everyone and Happy, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday. I sure did miss being here, but appreciated the time away and feel refreshed and ready for a new year of inspiration and shared ideas!

It's that time of the year again for resolutions and to-do lists and while I have several need to do resolutions in 2009, there are also several want to do resolutions that I hope to accomplish as well. Do you ever find that the wants tend to become lost in the shuffle as you're addressing the needs throughout the year? I sure do. I'm hoping that by sharing these want resolutions with you all, I'll be a little more accountable and stay the course. So, each day this week, I'm going to share a want resolution here and--I hope--provide a little inspiration along the way. Sound good?

Resolution #1: Spruce up our walls with family photos.

Over the break, I was organizing and cleaning up my computer files and came across so many great family photos from last year. They're just filed away in iphoto folders, collecting proverbial dust. Therefore, I want to do something creative with our family photos in 2009. Ideally, I'd like to organize favorites into photobooks and create a dazzling family photo wall with the best of best. Currently inspired by...

Photo display ideas from Real Simple found via Apartment Therapy

I love this idea via Domino for our back entryway

A display like this found via House Beautiful would work great in our extra long hallway. I also like the mix of oval frames as seen on the back photo wall.

Rachel's clipboard idea is amazing. I'd like to borrow it and create a revolving photo wall...perhaps in our kitchen.

What do you think? Doable?
