Photo Inspiration

First off you'll really have to forgive me. Ever since last year when we decided we'd be looking for a house I started collecting inspiring decor pictures. Of course in my fervor I wasn't really paying any attention to where I was getting the pics; I just saw, liked, saved. So if you know where I got any of these pics fill me in.

One of my big loves are old black and white photographs. I plan on including a lot of them in our house and I spent a few minutes this weekend looking through some of our family collection at my mom's house. My grandfather had an interest in photography, even at one point heading the photography club when he taught high school in Illinois, so we have a wealth of pictures that have been inherited over the years. I can't wait to be able to display these bits and pieces of my personal history in our home. Here are some images that have been inspiring me in how to use these little pieces of art in our space.
