i will admit it, i use to be one of those people that think an 8×10 is HUGE! i couldn’t imagine wanting to hang anything bigger than that on my walls. then two things happened that changed my mind:
1. i became a mom and realized that i have no problem seeing larger than life size images of my babies on my walls.
2. i saw for myself how much better larger prints really look!
still not convinced? let me show you. this was my very own (not some model) fireplace some time ago.

those are three 8×10’s with two 5x5s in between. they don’t look bad, but i wouldn’t say they look spectacular either. in fact, sitting on the couch across the room, the display almost just blends in.
now this is how my fireplace currently looks:

a little more impressive, right? this is three 16x20s and one 24×20 gallery wrapped canvas. everyone that enters my house comments on this display. i never got any comments on the old display (and i don’t think it is just because my boys keep getting cuter and cuter either;)!
i guess this just goes to show that bigger really is better!
