"Scrapbook" the walls of your home! Sensitively displayed photographs - portraits, landscapes, snapshots - bring warmth and personality to any space. With these creative, inspiring design ideas, develop a unique decorating style that says volumes about who you are. Make a statement by blowing up a treasured photo, or capture the eye by placing small pictures into large mats. Mount a selection of images from favorite trips or activities - even turn them into wallpaper. Transform everyday items, like a simple plate rack, into striking and extraordinary "exhibition cases." Use heirloom photographs as "quilt blocks"; try a shadow-box framing technique, and inset pictures in a folding screen. From wildly unique ideas to nontraditional photographic techniques, here's a great new perspective on decorating.
