Questions about photographs on your wall

Do you have any photographs on your wall that are not of people, but are something else? Something you bought because you liked it for your decor?

I'm not talking wall art like drawings or paintings. Real photographs.

The only thing I have is this:

Over our couch in the living room we have photos of nautical things like boats, a lighthouse, compass, etc. We got the pics online and DH made them all sepia color.

Yes, we have 8 of them - all 5x7 matted to 8x10 and they are professional photographs I purhased while in Ireland of the places I visited/studied.

ETA: They are hung around the kitchen and in the 1/2 bath.

Re: Questions about photographs on your wall

I have pictures of places. Some of our honeymoon in Hawaii & some from a trip to San Diego. I love looking back at them and remembering where we were.

So where are you putting this photo in your home? Chat Icon

Re: Questions about photographs on your wall

In our living room I have a photo that I took hanging over the couch - the view from a mountain in Italy - and a panorama of lower Manhattan on the opposite wall that I bought shortly after moving out of NY.

My brother has a big photo of a bridge/canal in Amsterdam at his house. I think he bought it at IKEA Chat Icon

And my parents have several framed closeups of my mom's flowers.

I have some floral photos that my friend did.

And in a few rooms I have framed old postcards, which are kind of pictures and not of people we know. Chat Icon

Re: Questions about photographs on your wall

We haven't done it yet, but we are planning on blowing up a ton of pics I took in our yard of birds, ducks, geese, bunnies, etc and putting them in our office

Re: Questions about photographs on your wall

We have photographs my husband has taken -- our honeymoon safari photo's are featured in my living room, some from London, Amsterdam, & New York are in my dining room. Sailboats from NY harbor and Lake Champlain are in my playroom. I like photographs, especially scenic ones.

Re: Questions about photographs on your wall

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I asked because I was considering opening an Etsy shop but didn't know how common this was anymore. We have very little on our walls, which is strange considering I have tens of thousands of photographs!
