You know the kind. Everyone is stiff and posed like it's their hostage photo and there is usually some sort of weird imitation cloud behind them. The many variations are usually placed all over one wall, giving you the creeps with their blank stares and forced smiles as you walk by. There is even a whole website dedicated to this kind of thing:
Just don't do it! People want to see your personality in your photos! They must like you and your family's quirkiness because they're coming over to your house after all; so give them AND you something interesting to gaze at on your walls. You don't want to end up on that website do you?!
Angela Glossy Flossy moved into a great new house last summer and it has (still..) a lot of great blank walls. She was looking for some fun, cool and, dare I say it, "cheap" wall decor for her oldest's room and loved the framed Batman photos that I had done at my house with some thrifty Ikea photo frames. (Don't you just love Ikea!)
I edited the orginal photo in Photoshop, added some fun pop art graphics, sent it to Costco's online photo ordering site and had it printed in poster size. Viola! Instant wall art. -Laurie
