    Love this video! Thank you so much. As for the target frames..because they are thin is that why you opt out for thicker Michaels frames above the sofa? I see the canvas is framed thin. I ask because I’m trying to do that set up with ikea hover mirror.

    Hi Sophia, i bought an expensive silver frame and the corners are not perfect. There's a little gap in one corner and the other corner is not aligned. Should I expect that when buying picture frames? Thank you.

  • @jacknjill3000
    @jacknjill3000 7 місяців тому

    Great video and advice. I would love to have some frame picture in the bathroom, but afraid the steam would get into the frame and damage the picture.
    So you just put the pictures inside the frame and if matted, how does it stay in place? With tape and pressure from the frame? I was looking at some prints on eBay and saw one that said it was mounted and was wondering if all frame photos done at pro frame shops were mounted?! My understanding is mounting is a way to display the picture without a frame? So the mounting part I don’t really understand. But I’ll look for a pre made frame, to get around the custom framing costs.

    Does video on where to buy cheap picture frames that look expensive. *Continues whole video with cheap looking frames displayed in the background*
    😂
    I'm kidding they look good lol
    Also, great tips although to me the number one place by far is always going to be my local thrift store. They have 75% and 50% tags every day and extra if you bring back your reciept as long as it's been within a week.
    Second are online sites like offer up for free stuff. I'm broke as hell y'all lmao!
    Edited: I typed this comment before you explained that you personalized the frames with your own mat or whatever it's called. Yes I'm obviously clueless to the terminology and to trends but to be perfectly honest I still think those small black frames look kinda boring no matter what.
    I much prefer the ones you personalized for holidays with the open space. I like crafty over artsy fartsy any day of the week js 💅

    I have a question off topic, what causes your voice to shiver? I'm asking because I have a boss that does this and wondered why.. Nothing wrong with that, it's not a problem. I'm just curious now that I hear 2 people with same thing. Thanks in advance. Btw... love your content!

    I dont like the layering idea. It makes it look cluttery and unorganized. I think the frames on the wall you got from target (the black ones) looked cute. You have a super cute apartment!

    Nice ideas for frames. On the flipside, 'layering' pictures frames, meaning placing one frame on top of another is the second dumbest idea interior designers have come up with, next to putting stuff on a stack of books!

      I agree! Also, I don’t get why you want something to look “expensive”. How about looking nice or matching the room.
      This chick made a video basically telling us the stores she buys frames from. Turns out they are the same places everyone buys frames.
      This is a good example of someone who has a career path that isn’t real. They’re just being coddled. GET A REAL JOB!
