These are, I realized, the only two framed pictures we have displayed on table tops in the house. They're on a table in a little seating area in our dining room--one wedding picture and one of the Swayambunath Stupa in Kathmandu that I took a million years ago on a semester abroad from college. It's my opinion that there shouldn't be too many framed pictures on table tops or in rooms such as living room, dining room--sometimes I think these two are even pushing it. Other, more out of the way places that we've put photos are:
Framed on a wall in the bathroom. The funny thing about doing this is guests spend a long time in the bathroom looking at them.
W. put family photos in the shelves above his desk. (Sorry photos are dark and W.'s office is still painted this lavender color that makes photos look dingy, must repaint soon!).
My mother pointed out on a recent visit that W. didn't have any photos of me above his desk (I hadn't noticed!). She quietly suggested I place one there, which I did.
What do you think about picture frames? Do you think too many on tabletops look cluttery?

I like your thoughts on this, and will rethink all the photo placements in our house ..... hmmmm..... And it is funny, I did notice the darling photo of you above William's desk, and thought that it was so sweet and romantic, having your photo there - Clever Pam! xoxo
I used to agree with you but am now a convert to more frames around the apartment. I had none in my living room and about four months ago I decided to move some from the bedroom shelves (where we have a ton) to the two side tables in the living room. It feels so cozy and happy to have a photo of your family catch your eye as you sit or pass by. I love it!! I do love the bathroom montages on the wall btw.
