Beautiful and Inexpensive Ways to Display Family Photos

As digital media continues to take over, less and less of us are actually printing our family photos to display in our homes. I think many of us get overwhelmed with how to display them, so we just don't!

But fear not, we've rounded up some simple and inexpensive ways to display those photos that are sitting in your closet gathering dust. 

1. A Photo Ledge

If you have lots of photos that you need to display without putting a bunch of holes in the wall, try this! Photo ledges are such a great way to display your framed pictures in a casual, but still put-together kind of way. Ikea sells picture ledges for dirt cheap, and you can get budget frames from Tjmaxx, target, or even the dollar store!
