You Ought To Be in Pictures:
Use old tobacco tins or cigar boxes as picture frames. This tin (purchased for $9) holds a photo. Use a pencil to trace the shape of the tin onto the photo, and then cut out the photo just inside the penciled line.

Bookish Charm:
These finials make perfect endings for any books. Wrought-iron finials (purchased for $5 and $3 from a flea market) were used as shapely bookends in this living room. They could also serve as unusual paperweights or decorative accessories on a coffee table.
