apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

... are seeking inspiration for a design challenge in a specific room.

At the moment, a box of framed photos that we've been wanting to hang in the bedroom are residing in our storage closet in the basement, while we wait for inspiration to strike. I love the treatment done in the first photo above - a no holes barred, intensely packed wall of frames may just be the way to go....now I just need the soaring ceilings to go along with the frames!
