Don't hang 8x10s. They are too small. And NEVER hang pictures of family in the public spaces of your house. Take your cheap ass to kinkos and get the cityscapes blown up to an appropriate size. THEN blow one up to a larger size and hang it next to the grouping of 4 cityscapes. Like so:

I, the ONLY interior designer in OT worth a shit, have spoken. |

All of those are way too small to go above the couch because you wouldn't be standing close enough to them well if you are standing in front of the couch
(and why would you stand there?). You need about a 2' x 2' minimum size for anything above a couch.
These piddly little things should go in a hallway maybe, or a place on a wall where there isn't deep furniture below them on the wall (above a very narrow piece might be fine). The four should be grouped together, but the slightly larger thing shouldn't be part of the grouping. |

That's so wrong. You're whole house would just tip over.
I like having my kid's school pictures right in the living room. It reminds the cleaning people that he's cute and they should make his home nice and clean. Ooh! That reminded me of something.... |

Hang the big one and put a cool sconce on either side.
OR, Hang it how YOU like it. |

You all really frame and hang family pics?
We frame ours in 5x9, ets (nice frames) and have them clustered on various antique pieces. |

the dude I hired to hang all my artwork told me the same thing about kid pics, but I still hang a 10x13 of each kid in the family room.
and everything has to be symmetrical. |

TC is fucking with me to see if my head explodes. She would not hang school pictures in the living room, even HER lliving room, the one with no lamps and no
tables and no window treatments and the McDonald's colors and the woodwork painted the same color.

i don't know what rich-ass houses you all have but in my apartment the living room is where i spend 90% of my waking hours and that's where i want all
my shit - the barebones bedroom is only for sleeping or fucking.

If by comfortable, you mean like a prison cell in a color blind jail, then yeah.

You bedroom still should be arranged nicely and at least have something on the walls instead of it just being bare assed!
The five pictures on one wall is too much, especially all neatly lined up like that. |

No, comfortable like I could sprawl out or curl up on the couch and read a book. Yours is very elegant, but it's just too perfect. And my tastes run more
to soft leather than zebra stripes.
Plus, I too just have wood blinds and no window treatments. |

Enlarge the cityscapes and hang them in a square. shove the family pic up your ass. I'm done talking to you about this. Just DO IT.
