My mom calls this a “Rogues Gallery.” I call it “a great place to put all those old photos dad off-loaded onto me a few years ago~citing me as the ‘family historian.'” I did some research on how best to handle these (admittingly cool) pics and found great information on the National Archives site. They go into great detail about how to preserve these little bites out of history.
Make your Own Rogues Gallery:
- Buy frames you love, or re-purpose ones that are laying around, and frame up family pictures, or any other grouping you want to see everyday.
- Lay out a grid: clear a table or a space on the floor and figure out how you want the grouping to look on the wall. ~Since I used all different sizes I couldn’t do a regular grid. I ran four columns (top to bottom) with parallel spaces between the 1st and 2nd and the 3rd and 4th. Check out the graphic below~a picture is worth a thousand words, right?
- Measure thrice, hammer once.
