Greetings,

I would love to put up grouping of the rosary mysteries. Somehow I can't wrap my head around how this will look. If anyone knows a place where I can see how this would look, I would really appreciate the info. I am going to EWTN gift shop later today, so I will be getting the pics in 8x10.

Blessings,
hsmom....again

If you are getting matching size/style prints, I would think that matching frames hung in rows like one sees matching botanicals would be the way to go. Something like this.

I collect Mary prints, sometimes from Christmas cards or old calendars, and I have them in my foyer/stairs in my current home. The frames are a hodge-podge, but they are all gold or have a touch of gold gilding. I didn't plan this, it just worked out that way when I first started, but I continue on with this plan because it is easy and works. Some are quite small, or some I have a smaller print in a larger frame. I put it together la bit like the gallery walls that are so popular right now.

I was thinking more in terms of groups of 5, one mystery at a time. I don't really have the wall space for all 20 mysteries in one room......unless I do smaller prints.   

I love your idea about the Mary prints!

Thanks

If you have room around the top of a room, you could also hang them like a border, evenly spaced according to the dimensions of your room, accounting for space over doors or windows. I think the rosary prints do come in a smaller size (4x6 or 5x7 maybe).

Hanging group displays from a rod or hooks like this is a cool and can be a space saver since you can overlap them.




You could have several different groupings of 5 or just one or two groupings and swap out the mysteries periodically to get them all seen through the year.

These dynamic frames are cool because it would be easy to switch out the art (different decades).

I also really like this idea for a way to swap out different pictures easily.

And I like them in the vertical like that, but with 8 x 10s five would probably take up too much space floor to ceiling. I love the burlap background with the clip - but a pretty "Marian" blue or rose fabric would be very fitting.

I also love the floating shelf picture displays with the overlap - great for space. But they do work better with a variety of picture size, not all uniform.

Thank you all for so many great ideas. Since I don't plan to put them altogether I may be able to incorporate several of these ideas into my home. Seriously, I love all the ideas. Just a matter of deiciding which style to put where. :) The EWTN store did not have the prints in stock, not sure if I will order or just try and print pictures off the computer. Now which mystery to start with.
