I love to strip for photos. No, no. That’s partly true not what I meant to say at all. I love photo strips. There, that’s a little better. Does anyone else LOVE those old black-and-white photo booth pictures you get at the beach? They’re so simple, but I can’t get enough of them. This past weekend, my fam was at the Jersey shore, and we managed to squeeze the four of us into an ancient photo booth for our not-so-yearly tradition, which I am determined to make into an annual thing. I’m starting with these:

This is soooo much fun. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to enlarge a picture of my face 70x. Trust me, too much pixelation is not a good thing for this girl.

John and Sherry at Young House Love put all their photobooth pics (which they take on the day of their anniversary) into a glass so guests can take a look through while hanging out.

This is a super interesting detail on a regular door at the end of a hallway. Love that it immediately draws your eye to that door. Again, enlarged photo + me = not pretty.

This last one is definitely more my speed (again from Young House Love). So many things going on here that I adore: light walls and white frames, and organic gallery wall with photobooth strips included! I see a trip to Ikea for frames in my near future.

So, here’s what I’ve come up with so far. I’m not quite finished, and still haven’t decided on a location for these frames, but I think they’re coming along nicely. (WARNING: The next few pictures are very bad quality. This is what happens when one very tired blogger tries to blog way past her bedtime. Forgive me, please?!)

I started with two of these frames. I know, they’re terrible. And yes, I did have them hanging in my home for at least 3 years. I have no clue why, especially because I hate coffee.

When they’re done, they’ll look something like this. Now, I just need to find approximately 32 more frames to complete my gallery wall. {Sigh}
