Kristen Duke Photography had a Decorating with Portraits series throughout February that featured different bloggers using photography throughout their homes in interesting ways. And it got me thinking… man, I use a lot of photography in my home décor!

dining-room-gallery-wall1On the back wall in my dining room I have large prints of my daughter in a vintage-inspired clothing. Love these shots and how they set the tone for the entire room.

canvas-photo-mod-podge-prints1I also created added some scrapbook paper and flower embellishments to some plain wooden frames for my daughter’s bedroom desk. They’re the perfect pop of color for that space.

mirror-photo-ornament-rectangle2I also love this photo of my daughter holding a vintage camera. I printed it out to hang above this little telephone table in my great room. The colors go perfectly from the photograph to the painted table.

OH, and speaking of photography… Did you know you can take your family photos and create a fun coloring book for your kiddos? Check out the tutorial here.
