I also have nothing on our walls. We recently moved across the country from Richmond Va to Portland OR. I plan to go to goodwill tomorrow and try to get some really cheap frames. Have you ever thought about making your own frames? I am sure there are tons of resources out there for it.

If you are interested I can tell you how my hunt goes.

Wow! Those prints are great. Maybe I can get a space in our kitchen wall for them. Thanks for the printable posters. More to come. :)

You could always space the frames so they can be hung vertically or horizontally in a group. That way you can pick any pictures and rotate them as often as you feel like. Then it should cut down on the stress of picking the right photos the first time.

Karen,
I like the idea of one wall in the house being just photos. Do you remember I had that in the Stone Ave house? Loved your other ideas.

My walls are filled with a mixture of garage sale oil Paintings and family photos… Unique & inexpensive!

I have really large walls and cathedral ceilings, so I needed LARGE art. I found a used garden trellis and spray painted it ORB, then hung it with an oversized wall clock. I love the look and it was in the budget!! Don’t stress, it will all come together in time! :)

I, too, loved the “All you need is love” prints, but I could justify spending money on them. Instead, I got a cheap Ikea frame and put InDesign to good use, that way I could use the color/font that suits my room. I got it printed at Kinko’s for $2 and I love it. I feel kind of bad about ripping off the idea, but not that bad. For simple prints like that, it seems that, for me, it’s easier just to DIY it and save myself the cost.

Another reasonably cheap thing I’ve done is get photo canvases made through CVS. It’s really easy to do and I’m really happy with the quality. Plus, if you sign up for an account, they constantly have sales and promos going on, so you never have to pay full price. And you can pick up in-store so you don’t have to pay for shipping.
