Damn Ikea

I'm taking the suggestion of the Lady in Red and I'm replacing the stock photos in my apartment with ones that I have taken. I'm a pretty good photographer and have taken some great pictures (and I'm modest too...). For starters, I ordered 2 prints of pictures I took while in Aruba at 20"x30" to fit in the current frames that I have.

Chances are you already know where this is going. Ikea being Ikea does their own thing. Their 20"x30" frames are really 19 3/4" x 28". Tomorrow I'll go out to Bed Bath & Beyond and look for some frames that match that these prints will fit in. For the rest of the pictures that I order, I'll order the smaller size print so that everything will fit in my current frames, or perhaps it's time to get new frames.

I loved your stock pictures though! It's true, you are a good photographer and you've been some really interesting places as well...I need some pictures for my place too. I've gotten frames made for pictures that I have and love and the frames are often a whole lot more expensive than the picture ever was but they come out looking lovely. DO IT!
