a plug for printing

I know it is so easy to keep everything digital...especially with blogs and such. But, I think it is really important to still print out photos. Especially since digital images don't last forever.

 I just printed a few pictures from our vacation and updated our framed photos. I can't tell you how much fun it is to have these out in our house. I am one of those people that get's sick of my house decor often so, it has been so easy to switch out the pictures when I get bored of them.


I took this picture of the peony (my favorite flower) in California. The gold frame I found at a thrift store for a few dollars.


I think it is fun to stick a few photos to the edge of a mirror to give it a more personal touch.

I totally agree. I just spent like 50 bucks ordering new prints to put throughout my house and for photo books and stuff. You are so good at making things work. So cute.

I LOVE having pictures of my family and other pics I've taken (and you! LOL) around the house. So personal and fun. I totally agree that changing out a photo with a cool frame is a great cheep way to change the look of a room. Love your cute apartment! :)

Digital does make it so easy to make switches in your frames at home - especially as the grandkids change so much so quickly.
Peonies are my favorite flower too - that picture is a beauty!

I'm with you. In fact, I have too many printed photos scattered throughout my house.

But then you know that clutter is my middle name.

So inspirational. Love the pics on the mirror idea! Do you think we get our obsession with flower pictures from mom? I can't get enough of them.

Love your decor. I can't believe you found that gold frame at a thrift store. It looks so expensive. I want to see more photos of your house.

I find as soon as a room is deemed decorated i'm already bored and ready to restart! (its a problem). Switching out pictures or pillows is an inexpensive way to keep the space feeling fresh! I love your peonie print - it's stunning.
