Help

I am attempting to make a photowall in this weird niche. I need help. Obviously I haven't finished hanging the frames or putting the pictures in the slots, but... what do you think of this configuration? My neighbor came up with it for me :).

I originally had the bottom row vertical, which I think looks better, but I realized most cute pictures are horizontal and I already had the top row vertical... Also, is it too plain? Audra suggested adding cute mirrors or a giant B or some other element but I don't know how/where.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Should I leave it how it is or add something? But if you tell me to add something you have to be very specific and tell me exactly what to add and where--decorating does not come naturally to me!

I love these things AND they stress me out because I don't know what I'm doing either. But I agree with Audra on the giant letter B. I'm seeing it everywhere which tells me it is trendy and one day I won't want a giant H on my wall, but if/when that day comes, it's the INITIAL of our FAMILY, not a wooden block painted at enrichment that says, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!" which is what I saw a lot of at my friends' houses growing up, and that is a good thing. No regrets seem to loom for the family monogram.

i think you should put a giant K just to show everybody who's boss.

I think it looks good...maybe spread it out a little? You know what else would look cool are those script sayings you can stick on your wall (maybe above or below the pictures?)

Sorry I'm not much help on the arrangement, but I love the paint!

Looks good but instead of the vinyl saying look at some the vinyl flourishes and such over at the stampin up website. They are under the home decor heading. I would use the color black to match the frames.

Ugh. I hate weird niches. I hope I never have one because what do they expect you do it with it? It's usually a HUGE space and what do they expect you to do, hang some HUGE picture up? I think a giant painting of dogs playing poker would go quite nicely. Just kidding.

I vote against a giant B. This probably comes as no surprise.

I realize I haven't said anything remotely constructive. And I'm not going to because I really don't have a good answer.
