I’ve been loving black and white photos lately. I don’t claim to be a great photographer, but I sure do enjoy taking pictures. Don’t look too closely at the pictures on my walls. Some are too dark, some too light, some a little boring. Regardless of their quality, I’ve been using the pictures I’ve taken as decoration in my house. (Notice I didn’t call it art work.)
I take pictures, convert them to black and white in Picasa, then have them printed at Shutterfly.
My home decor budget hasn’t taken too much of a hit with these projects. I’ve been finding old picture frames in my mom’s garage and spray painting them black.
The best thing about this project is that it involves my two favorite things: home and family.
What are your Home and Family projects this week?
Here are a few linky parties I like to participate in:

I do the same thing with photos. Nothing looks nicer to me than a black and white picture in a black frame!

You are like me, I love family pictures and have also been downloading pictures to make into art. Very cost effective! I had so many frames that luckily I didn't throw away and painted them as well. I found that when you mat the pictures, they stand out so much better! Love your home!

Pictures of family and trips cover the walls at my parents house. Pictures like that, I think, Make a home feel like a home.
