Anyway, I REMOVED about 9 frames and was left with this.......still a traffic jam!
So I took a cute large white GW ($2) pot from the other dormer and removed all but 3 pics.
BTW, this dormer has doors (hiding great storage) built by hubby.
The other dormer has too much greenery and is just blah.....
I filled a GW $2 basket with the framed pics.....out of the traffic jam, but not completely out of sight. (Hubby also built these drawers in this dormer area. Honestly, that man can build anything!)
This little basket holds the mail, but mercy, isn't it a sight!
I tied some of that open burlap/jute garland around it. Debbie @Confessions of a Plate Addict and I had seen a lot of this used at the Queen of Hearts - great texture. Debbie found it at Michael's.
These plates help hide the mail.....
And so does this plant and plate......
These cookbooks help hide the mail, too.
Not sure how this basket will end up, but it will keep its burlap skirt and it will hide the mail!
(White ironstone plates - GW 88 cents each).

Linda, you have such good ideas. I love all of your pictures on display. Adding the plant is a beautiful look, and then putting all the little pictures in a baskets is so clever. Love the jute ribbon around the basket. The plates and plants look fabulous in there too. Great ideas and such pretty vignettes. I am so thrilled you are linking to the party. Thanks. Hugs, Marty
Great ideas, but the basket with the maidenhair fern is my favourite ... it really paints a wonderful picture. The colour and delicate nature of the plant really complements the earth feel of the cane and jute.
Warmest Hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane
Hi Linda! Yur re-dos look great...love the fern! That just makes a great addition to your basket! Mr. B's work looks fabulous! Do you rent him out? lol Have a wonderful weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Oops..that's your...and I forgot to say that I don't remember that white pot from GW...love it!
Everything's lookin' great! I just bought a white tureen today and I may stick a plant in it. I love the look!
You have so many good ideas, Linda. Thanks for sharing them. I love dormer windows and your hubby is so nice and talented to build the functional cabinets there.....Christine
Love the cabinets in the dormers, what a great idea. Your little vignettes all look so lovely. I especially like the way you've hidden the mail. I'm just afraid I'd forget it was there :) Kathy
Don't you hate mail! While important, I am never sure what to do with it and every time we have friends over, I scoop it all up off the counter and throw it in a drawer. Then I have to sort it all out after the party because the drawer is disorganized.
I always feel like that is just my personal problem but when I drop in on neighbors, they too have the "mail pile."
Great solution!
I love how you dressed up that basket with the jute/burlap ribbon. I also like your new arrangements in the dormer nooks. I know we can be consumed with framed family photos and you just run out of places to put them. I read Deb's blog too and love her new lamp. Where is this new thrift store y'all found?
I love the basket with the burlap it really looks so cute!!I know i have mail all over the place most of it is bills!!! Kathy
Hi Linda! You're just the smartest one! I love that burlap ribbon. I saw some at Debbie's too on her wreath over the mirror. I love your dormers and how wonderful your hubby can build anything. They look great! Well, everything looks so nice.
Be a sweetie,

Hi Linda,
I loved your comment about the pie, so true! You always have such creative ideas and i love to see what your up to. It's funny about the Mississippi, up North we think it's so upper midwest. I guess the Mississsippi really does span a long long way.
Have a nice week,
Cindy
Love your table tops and that basket is so cute and useful !
Lovin that bow !!!!
Kammy
great ideas, I have a lot of baskets around to hide clutter, but I will have to find some of that burlap
Hi Linda. Thanks for the comment about my table. My husband is a teacher too though I think the sentimentality was lost on him! I love a piece of furniture that can tell a story.
Love all your little vignettes too.
Kristine
Plant and plates looks great.
Charo
you have done wonders with that basket and burlap!
I love all the little added touches you use to display your things... the basket/burlap is exceptional!

Love the idea of using the backet for the photos.. but my favorite is the one for the mail, that jute garland is amazing I can't wait to get to go to Micheals. The plates with the plate looks so good. I am so going to copy your great idwa!!
:) Michelle
Nice basket. I'd keep changing things out in there as you can really use it for anything and everything. -- Jane F.
Remind me to never send you a letter- it will get hidden by a plate or book, LOLOLOL!
Seriously, though, I love all your re-dos-
Esp. the plates in the basket.
What a handy hubby you have- I have one of those myself!
So glad you stopped by my home today and i had fun looking around yours!
Blessings to you as you make a home!
So many cute things in your basket -- and that basket even looks cute filled with mail!
The basket with the burlap really looks cute. I also like how you added the fern and plate very cute!
Joy
Very pretty! I love the basket with plates!
Great ideas! Isn't it wonderful to have a handy honey!!
I have the same problem with the pictures! I try sliding the newest one on the top, but with 4 little gkids there always seems to be a new pic to add!
I love your ideas, and GW finds.
Are you the famous Nina who shops with Miss Debbie aka known as the Plate Addict? :)
I love the frames in the basket! What a great idea! And the white ironstone in the basket looks great! I am going to have to steal that one!!
Love that ribbon too! Hobby Lobby doesn't have it...I will check out Michaels!
Have a great day and thanks for your visit and sweet comment!
