My client emailed me with this picture above to get advice to display her family photos.

I usually see a lot of my clients like to display their personal photos all around the rooms like on the top of fireplace, buffet cabinet and even on coffee table. It sometimes creates clutter feelings with too many picture frames everywhere. I advised this client to put them on one wall as picture gallery with shelves to display her collection of elephant together since she was looking for place for them also. (If you are planning to have open house, I would recommend to hide them instead of display).

OMG! This was not how I thought I wanted to display. I stopped her and emailed back with a picture below to install shelves randomly. I was glad that she emailed me the picture before she installed!!

She emailed me back after her husband and she purchased shelves and picture frames, and installed themselves.

I stopped by today and added a little accessories (her collection of elephants) around as a finish touch. I really appreciate the power of Internet and emails, and PPT. It was impossible to direct them how to display their pictures without email and pictures exchanges. I am glad that they didn't display the way they showed on first picture. I save a lot of time to finish this project by directing them using email consultation!

I think they did a great job by themselves afterall!!
