Make a bulletin board from a flea-market frame and a piece of cork. Any old frame will work. Even a gaudy one — like this plastic castoff from the 1970s — looks chic when spray-painted white. Dress up thumbtacks by gluing wooden buttons to them (try Fabri-Tac, $7 at craft stores).

For an even easier solution, stick photos on the refrigerator with magnetic photo corners.

Tip: If you must hang photos for the long term in a humid environment, like a kitchen or bath, first have them dry-mounted at a frame shop. Dry mounting adheres the photo to a thin piece of foam, which keeps it rigid and flat.
