Nice shots, and I like the easel! All the same, according to the pic above your wife doesn't think too much of them! 😀

On a quick count, in the séjour (living room), 21 of mine, 22 of Frances's, 6 by other photographers, and 5 paintings/mixed media (by various artists including Tibetan and Russian).
In the hall where my internet computer lives, so where I'm typing this, 3 of mine, 2 of hers, 1 by another photographer, 7 other media including calligraphy, embroidery, hand-coloured engravings and an original publicity bromide of a drawing for Harvey (James Stewart and, of course, Harvey the rabbit leaning against a lamp post. )
As you might guess, our walls are hung as thickly as a Victorian salon!

Framed probably more than 20. There a couple of empty frames, too, put up by my better half and waiting to be filled.
In my study, I also put up a bunch of unframed ones, and see for a while if I like them enough for framing.
Cheers,
Roland.

About a dozen, plus some by others, speaking only of photographic prints.
I have one by Sudek, of the other photographers, they are people I know, such as the one in the discussion a few weeks ago asking to identify the print.
Perhaps a corollary question might be the number of friends who hang your work (perhaps only when you stop over) ?
I have also been asked for prints by friends who never get around to hanging them, but I am guilty of procrastinating, so I have no real complaint.
My friend Alain has picked out a few, but I may have to go to Paris and take them to a frame shop.
Other prints, I have Serigraphs by Susan Fiori, and some collections of Cigarette cards, which are prints, some are "Real Photos" , and a couple of photographic postcards, which are framed with glass in the back so you can view that side as well.
If I ever clear out some space, I have a very nice mat cutter and things will change.
My house is not well designed to hang prints, I have a few framed prints on the mantle as well, and just got a digital frame to play with, probably not the sort of thing intended by the OP?

I have about 13, but have several more that are matted and ready to frame. I actually matted them a few years ago but time has slipped away somehow. My wife also bugged me about hanging more photos. I guess we're tough critics when it comes to our own work. As someone else said, the proper art is downstairs, and the photos are out of formal spaces.

About eighteen of my prints adorn the walls in my house. They come from three major eras of my photographic development - a few from very early consisting mostly of color images (K-64/cibachrome prints), the lions share of medium-format black and white prints from about eight years ago, and a select few images printed quite large.
After a printing hiatus of about five years, I did the unthinkable - I bought a print from a friend! Most who see it comment on how much it shares wtih my own work, so the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree in this case.

Books?
I have a lot of prints on the walls of our house. Most of them are by other photographers.
From a viewing pleasure perspective, I think I enjoy looking at photographs in books more than looking at prints on walls. So, given the advances made in self-publication on the web, I'm beginning to think that I should shift my emphasis from making prints to making books.

Don't have many of my own on my walls--and because of my work I maintain two small apts--a couple here at work and 4 or 5 at home. 12 or 15 different images hanging in family and friends homes. Last time I looked, three in two different businesses.
As mentioned by other posters, I am getting interested in books more lately. I've done a couple of small ones--small format and not too many pages--and am working on another one. Larger this time.
Plus, when I get back home, I will be processing what I've shot up here this winter so there may be one or two I'll put on the walls.

Two photos, eight paintings.

About a dozen (mostly mine, some of Kate's, and a few of my father's). Most are not of the wall though, our "gallery" hall only has room for 3 or 4, and we're not sure what's going on in the Living room yet.
We are also great patrons of the artwork produced by our friends, so lots of paintings, etc in the mix.
I do have print boxes full of mounted/matted prints. But frames are a pricey luxury, so we sometimes swap out existing ones from time to time.

I have about 75 framed photos from the various exhibits I have been in over the years. 15 of them are on my walls now. I'd hang more but my apartment is too small! I have some photos and etchings given to me by friends (fellow artists) that I need to mat and frame too, and if I ever get around to that, I'll put some of them up.

In order to save on storage areas, I decided to hang on the walls several larger sized framed photographs. The photos are better preserved on the walls than in a tight storage area. I may have six 20x30 prints, and maybe ten 11x14 or 8x12 prints.

Of about 250 framed prints, 12 of them are hanging.
How many of your prints are hanging in other people's homes?

Good question. I think I've sold maybe 100 prints to collectors or people who wanted to hang them. Most of my sales are stock photos rather than prints.

Most of my early sales were to publications, but these days I mostly sell prints. Don't really know how many. A whole lot.

That makes sense, since I'm pretty young. You didn't mention how old you are or how long you've been doing fine art photography professionally, but I assume you've been around a lot longer than I have. If you started out selling mostly to publications (as I do) and are now selling a lot of prints (as I hope to), then hopefully that works out for me too 🙂
