Staircase photo gallery project

In a previous post, I wrote about how I wanted to create a photo gallery going up our stairs and found some inspirational photos to help gather ideas.

In my efforts to make this become reality, I have picked out about 10 black frames. Then I traced them on to newspaper and started taping them to the wall to get a sense of what this gallery would (and could) look like.

I clearly have some issues such as: the wall plates and doorbell, and the -- to put it frank -- odd orientation of the wall going up. We don't have a chair rail and I can't imagine putting frames all the way down to the staircase (especially its little kids in the house); so I have to stop the photos randomly halfway down the wall.

So these photos represent where I am now. it is apparent that I could use at least 2 more very large frames to anchor -- they all seemed large until I see them on the wall. The first long newspaper represents a mirror, the rest are photos and art. I would also like to add a wooden F to the mix as well one other piece of non framed art.
