Most of us enjoy , I believe, a nice wood frame made of cherry oak or something like that (for country anyway). Of course the shape of the frame to fit the picture perfectly is one of the most important features. Oval, circular, and even rectangular shadowboxes are various types of picture frames.

Frames can be hung, set on a table, placed on an easel or in an eclectic grouping. Old windowpanes make great picture framing. I've used them to hide ugly breaker boxes in my home or even cover a paint job that went south. The newest trend is hanging empty frames in a grouping for a decorating idea.

Frames can protect cherished memories and mementos. Use to display a child's artwork. Frame antique baby clothes to decorate a baby's room. Small quilts can be framed and hung up in bedrooms to create a comfy and homey atmosphere. A great way to make a first impression in your home or office with artwork would be a display in an entryway.

Electronic or digital frames have been popular in the U.S. now for the past decade. Digital picture frames are the latest way to display your pictures in either your home or office.

I paid 25 cents for 10 frames at a local yard sale. But typically, you can find nice picture frames from twenty-five cents to five dollars, really depends on the people selling them and how bad they need the money.
