Hot under {$100-under $40}: Frames for your favorite photos (or other fun stuff!)

September 4, 2012

Are regular printed photos still relevant?

Admit it, you likely have a digital camera or phone (even my Nokia from 5 years ago still took pictures!) and you like snapping pictures on the go.  Maybe you’re an Instagram lover like me (I’m chicncheapliving there!) or just love to be the weirdo at the dinner table with the huge DSLR camera getting close ups of your dessert (guilty again!)

Your photos are being liked and shared via email and social networks almost daily.  So would you actually want printed photos around your home?

I would say “Oh yes!”  This picture from West Elm was an inspiration.

Yes our pictures may be viewed more easily, but the sheer number of photos out there mean that some may get lost in the mix (how have I been tagged in hundreds of photos through the years?!)  I may still use our digital photo frame, but I really love how displayed photos add to the warmth and feel of a home.

1. Gallery frames (now 15% off!), West Elm, starting at $12

2. Chuncky & Ornate Baroque Picture Frame, Target, $9.99

3.Tolsby Frame, IKEA, 0.99

4. Acrylic block frames, Crate & Barrel, starting at $15.95

5. Kate Spade New York ‘Crown’ Frame – 4″x6″, Nordstroms, $40

 

little luxury list

    I’ve been wanting to update our “photo wall” in the living room since it hasn’t been in, well, years. So easy to forget with everything being online now!

    yes to printed photos! at the end of each month, i send my photos to get printed and frame the ones i love. while ornate and colorful frames are fun to look at, i stick with plain black frames to keep the look on my wall cohesive.

    I can never have enough frames–so glad to see Crate and Barrel still has those great frames, I bought a few a few years ago and they are perfect for the desk! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

    Great finds!! I say that you can never have too many framed photos around the house — especially photos of family members!

    I love that Target frame!

  • Islandia Lane September 4, 2012 at 19:31

    ah, love it. I have a similar display above my entertainment area. But I mix art prints and photos in gold and black frames. Always makes me smile when I look at it. Really does pull a space together.
