Why Silver Plated
Picture Frames?
A few
years ago, I realized that I had gotten behind on keeping my
photos in good order. There were plenty of photos lying around,
both in envelopes and on my computer's harddrive that I really
wanted to show off and share, but I had simply never gotten
around to it! I finally decided to do something about that, but
rather than slide them into scrapbooks to be forgotten, I
decided to invest in a lot of silver plated pictures frames
instead! When I went looking for them, I found that they were
wonderfully reasonably priced, and they added a certain panache
to the room as well!
I started out by getting
some very small frames, ones that could comfortably hold
snapshots or pictures that were even smaller. I found that
while I could stick with the regular rectangular frames, I
could easily branch out and look for less standard frames as
well. For instance, there were a series of three small oval
frames that look lovely clustered together on the wall.
Similarly, there were also hinged frames plated in silver as
well, and these small frames could hold two pictures and be
opened up to bring back some happy memories.
Though I started off with
thinking about getting framed photos for home, I found that I
could easily extend the trend to my workplace as well. Though I
had previously just had pictures of my family tacked up in my
cubical, the pictures were beginning to curl and tear and I was
never really sure about how professional it was. I brought in
my silver plated frames and after a lunch hour spent with some
scissors to trim the photos down to size, I had a set of
professional looking picture frames filled with smiling
pictures of my family to keep an eye on me as I went through my
day's work!
Don't forget that
meaningful pictures that are presented in nice frames can be
wonderful gifts as well. Not terribly long ago, we went on a
beach trip with my sister and her family, and when I found
those pictures, I simply put them into frames and sent them to
her. They were a nice gift that reminded her of the good times
that we had shared, and even better, it didn't cost me an arm
and a leg.
Remember that you should
choose silver frames that suit your tastes. They come in all
sorts of shapes and sizes, and though I prefer the smaller
ones, there is no reason not to look for a larger one for a
full family portrait as well! There are a number of different
options open to you when you are thinking about framing your
beloved pictures, and if you want a festive sparkle, you will
find that you really cannot go wrong with silver plated
frames!
If you are in a place
where you want to know what to do with your pictures, take some
time and consider how well silver plated frames might suit
them; this can be the best way to preserve and present your
memories!
