Can you post your pictures or lead me to where they are online! I've got a drop leaf table that I'm looking to display pictures on and need inspiration!

Thanks!

Unfortunately I didn't find anything on line re:displaying pictures on a table. Walls seem to be the favored way of display.

I have pictures on a desk in my master bedroom, and all have very similar frames. Sizes vary, w/8x10 being the largest and set behind with the smaller ones in front. All the pictures are of my grandchildren, but that's a personal choice.

Hope I've helped. ;o)

No pictures but I can tell you about mine. I have a sofa table with photos all in the same frames in varying sizes. All are B/W or sepia; all are light-hearted photos of family members that are fun to look at and they date from early 1900's, WWII, mid century to current.
I have another group of pictures on shelves that are just "sisters" -- me and mine, mom and hers, grandmothers and their sisters, etc.(as well as a couple of nuns), ranging from 1800's through current.
I'm working on another group with the men in the family and one with just wedding photos of family members.
I like to use a theme and a commonality in the frames and photos.

First is the big labeled family photo. Citrus: there's seedling lemon, tangelo, pummelo, yuzu, along with an unlabeled sudachi. There's also a larger grafted yuzu and a grafted calamondin. As for non-citrus, there's three nightshades (tamarillo, naranjilla and coconas), two pots of seedling guavas, and a rather spindly ice cream bean seedling.

[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/Picture547.jpg[/IMG] Third, is a closer view including the big yuzu and calamondin, the pummelo and tangelo in front of them, and the big naranjilla on the right side. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/CopyofPicture548.jpg[/IMG] Last, this is a close-up of some of the seedling (non-grafted) citrus - from top to bottom, yuzu, pummelo, tangelo and sudachi. The black pot is tamarillo sprouts, which I need to thin out. To me, the only notable thing here is how different papeda-type citrus look from other citrus when young - smaller, slower in growth, smaller leaves, but very lush, small (not visible in this pic) spines, but more of 'em than other citrus.

Please post pictures of your spawling tomatoes
Q
Comments (5)
Your space question has been answered already by Carolyn so I wanted to add some of my experience growing vegetables near or surrounding tomatoes. I have grown the following with tomatoes: basil, borage, thyme, oregano, marjoram, parsley, cucumbers and peppers. I will not do peppers/tomatoes again. The tomatoes shade the peppers too much so they do not fully develop until the tomatoes are 'done'. The parsley does great, and the basil does OK, it also gets shaded too much by the tomato sometimes, so its development gets put on hold until the tomato plant is done and it really perks up then. The thyme and oregano do well, and they attract pollinators. Same with the borage, but borage gets to be rather large. The cucumbers did well with tomatoes, they can be supported on the same cage/poles. Will do cukes/tomatoes again. I have been wanting to try carrots/tomatoes since I figured prune the lower tomato leaves and they will make space and shade the carrots to their benefit. I have not been able to try since my carrot seeds have refused to sprout in recent months (I am guessing due to the heat). I still would like to try, maybe with some early/late tomato varieties so I can also sow carrot seeds nearby.

Please post pictures of your narrow island and work aisles
Q
Comments (29)
I want to caution all of those who think narrow aisles are OK for a multi-cook kitchen. If you plan your kitchen very, very, very carefully you can probably pull it off. However, if you're not very careful you will end up with a kitchen like Rookie_2010's MIL's kitchen or my SIL's kitchen...very difficult for more than one person to work in...and/or your narrow island becoming a "barrier island" (both of which my SIL has b/c she just had to have an island in a kitchen that couldn't support it...she has grown to hate it over time...especially as her children have grown). If you will have more than one person working in your kitchen at a time on a semi-regular basis, regardless of what they are doing, think long and hard b/f you deliberately plan for a narrow aisle and/or cram in a narrow island... Our kitchen is 10'6" wide and while I have a "U" shape, the fact that the legs are rather short and the base wide, prevents people from becoming trapped in it. I had a choice of an island or what I have now, and I am very, very glad I was talked out of an island by the wise folks here! If you do decide to plan for narrow aisles, etc., at least go in w/your eyes open and realize that you will have a less-than-optimum space and that you will most likely have to adjust your kitchen use to accommodate those aisles (or island).

My Mom has a large end table with photos of her kids and grandkids. Different sizes, different orientations, different backgrounds, but it works for her. The photos of her 3 kids and their spouses do all happen to be outdoor pics, but that's just because we're all outdoorsy people (and smile prettiest in the trees).

She has them all arranged so that she can see everyone's face from her favorite chair in the living room.

I used to have a wall gallery, but now, these are the only photos anywhere other than bedrooms. The table is a drop leaf. I am thinking of doing another wall gallery, but just can't make up my mind. I am tempted to get a new tv for this wall and then hang these and others around it to minimize the impact of the tv-who showed that ere a while back? It was such a great look, I thought!

Not sure what your style is, but I thought this was a really clever display idea...they copied the photos and attached to old dishes for frames and stood them up on easels:
