some redeco ideas

We just painted our living room and hallway so I have been thinking about a few ideas of what I want to do with my pictures. 

This is what I would like to do down my hall way.  I like the clean straight lines. And I will use black frames too.

 

 

 For my big wall in our living room, since I have been practicing my mural skills, I think I want to try something like the family tree above.  Couple of big differences though, my walls are "cracked wheat" so I don't want my tree to be as bold.  I am thinking just a few shades darker than my walls and have the tree be more of a background behind the picture collage.  I also plan to have a much more elaborate collage set up with all white frames.  I decided I will lay out the way I want the pictures and then I will paint the tree to flow with my lay out.  Hopefully it will be as easy as I make it sound, and that it looks nice!

I also seen this one below with the colored birds and I really liked that, so I thought it may try that too.  But again not as bold, but maybe a pale yellow??
