sizes of frames you will need.

photographs, black and white prints, colorful
artwork etc.
• The pieces can either be the same size or
varied.
• It is usually best to frame and mat
everything the same. If you want to mix it
up, just be sure to keep it balanced.
• If you don't want to spend a fortune on
frames, go to your local flea market and
pick some up. If they don't match, simply
paint them a uniform color. Or go the
IKEA way and try the IKEA Ribba Frame
set. This may be the easiest
and least expensive choice for
obtaining uniform frames in
various sizes.

the frames either. You can use scraps
of leftover wallpaper, old photos, pages
from a vintage book. Or use your favorite
personal photos–it's a great way to add a
touch of warmth and personality to your
space. Try these sites to download free
