Family photos, vacation pictures, candid snapshots of friends and family — they’re often visual representations of some of your most treasured moments, so it’s likely you’ll want to give them some special treatment.

Consider these easy and affordable ways to showcase some of your favorite photos.

Variations on a theme: You don’t have to have a whole set of matching frames to create a unified look. Gather frames of different sizes, shapes and textures then paint them all the same color. White, cream or black are colors that let the eye focus on the photograph. Then when you group them together, you’ve got a cohesive display without everything being the same.

Location, location, location: Photos don’t always need to be on a wall or shelf. Try hanging a series of related photos on the back of a door or between windows.

A new use for old frames: Take a large frame with no back and paint it. Then take two pieces of ribbon or wire and attach them to the back of the frame, dividing it into three sections.

PiCtuRe PeRFeCt Creatively display your favorite photos

By FAmily FeAtuReS PhOtO By unSPlASh

Attach small photos to the ribbon or wire with mini clothes pins or other small clips.

New frames out of old windows: Fit a photo mat inside each pane of an old window. Attach photos to the backs of the mats and you have a vintage frame.

Map it out: Showcase favorite travel photos by covering a mat with a map from one of your vacation spots. Just trim the map to fit your mat, tape it to the back and insert your picture.

Get it on canvas: Treat your photos like the works of art they are by having them printed on artist canvas. There are a variety of online vendors that let you choose the size and photo treatment to create a unique piece for your personal gallery.

Put it all on the table: Add to your stylish decor and protect your furniture all at the same time by making your own photo coasters.

Understanding thread counts

When a sheet has a count of 150, it is considered a muslin fabric, which isn’t all that soft to the touch. Any count of 180 or above is considered high quality, but anything beyond 400 is likely to only signify a higher price tag.

However, a sheet with a thread count of 200 can be softer to the touch than one with a 400 thread count. The quality of sheets depends not only on the thread count, but on the quality of fibers within those threads as well. Many stores and manufacturers tout Egyptian cotton as the best because of its long, strong fibers, which are more durable than most other cottons. Another high-quality cotton type is pima, also known for its extra-long fibers.

When shopping for new sheets, make sure you are looking at both the thread count and the quality. Look for a count between 200-400 and make sure the fabric quality is high to ensure you get the best bang for your buck, as well as a comfortable night’s sleep.

Forgo the fussy with these modern centerpiece ideas

By CAthy hOBBS, tRiBune neWS SeRviCe | PhOtOS By tnS

There was a time when a dining table centerpiece was traditional and fussy. These days, the trend is toward the more relaxed and what can function and appeal for everyday meals and entertaining.

Looking for centerpiece ideas? Here are some top Design Recipes tips:

Do’s

Do look for interesting bowls and vessels to display your decor. Do look to create a grouping or vignette. A set of three items often works well.

Do transition your decor. Experiment with rotating your decor depending on the season or occasion.

Do consider reflective elements such as a mirrored element as a tray.

Try using real or dried fruits as decor elements. They not only add color, they’re relatively inexpensive.

Don’ts

Don’t use elements that are thematic or trendy.

Don’t be afraid to display a minimalist look.

Don’t overlook elements such as size and scale, especially when it comes to height.

Don’t blend too many different colors and textures so as to not overwhelm.

Don’t ignore the power of greenery and florals.
