Would You Put Your Photo on a Shower Curtain?
PhotoShowerCurtain.com will use a photo or digital image of your choice to create a custom, full-printed shower curtain for you. I can see this being cool if maybe an artsy, black and white photo were used — like the Studio 54 image used on the Izola Patrick McMullan Shower Curtain — but otherwise, it might be too kitschy for me. What do you say?
Cool Idea: Poladroid
Ever since Polaroid decided to discontinue its instant-film products, I've been trying to snatch up all of the 600 film I come across. But, that gets pricey, considering the film costs nearly a buck per development. You know how I love my Polaroids, though, so it puts me in a pickle.
DIY: Faux Bois Photo Board
I recently stumbled across this clever DIY that adds faux bois to a board reserved for treasured photos. It's a quick and simple project with lovely results.
What You'll Need
- Cardboard (any size)
- Faux bois contact paper (about 2 feet depending on the size of your frame)
- Picture frame
- Scissors or Xacto knife
Casa Quickie: Displaying Treasured Photos at Your Reception
If you're looking for a more organic way to display photos at your wedding reception then steal this idea, which I found in wedding photographer Elizabeth Messina's portfolio. Just wrap a tree snugly with twine and clothespin photos to it. It would even look cuter with some custom clothespins.
Love It or Hate It? Peacock Frame
The peacock trend ($18) seems to still be in full effect, if this peacock frame from Urban Outfitters is any indication. The 3-x-5-inch fabric-covered frame may be just the thing for displaying that beloved pet portrait.

Etsy Find: Presidents in Pink
Didn't get enough of a patriotic fix yesterday on President's Day? Then celebrate the girlie way with this cool shot of our founding fathers against a bright pink sky. Pink Rushmore ($10), from Etsy seller Lucybirdphotos, is a fun twist on this most American of days.
Steal of the Day: Photo Display
Show off all of this year's Valentine's Day cards in your Love Shack with this simple and styling Pottery Barn Photo Display ($16.99, normally $49). Copying the look of a vintage drying rack, this cute little display rack would be perfect for cards, memos, or photos. Made of of six sturdy espresso-finished wooden pieces that are held together with two chains in an antique-bronze finish, it comes with 12 metal clips attached.
Photographer to Watch: Pamela Tachibana
Pamela Tachibana is a printmaker/hybrid artist from a long line of artists, all of whom warned her to find a different profession. She now resides with her family, creating art on the craggy coast of Kennebunk, Maine, a part of New England notorious for its quick, lusty summers and seemingly endless, unforgiving winters. Pamela is showing in a group show that benefits the American Breast Cancer Foundation this month at the Four Walls Gallery in Portland, Maine, and also has her next solo exhibit at the Kennebunk Free Library Gallery beginning April first.
