Last week my mom decided to pare down her old vinyl record collection, and gave me a chance to dig through the pile before the pile before they were sold or donated. I had a good time digging through the stack of records and found several that I had nostalgic connections with. <\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Morgan found a few she wanted as well — not to listen to, but to display in her room. Morgan has taken quite a liking to John Lennon and The Beatles, so it was no surprise to me that those were two of the three albums she grabbed on to. I’m not 100% sure those were in the sell-or-donate pile, but when mom saw Morgan’s eyes light up, she agreed to pass them down.<\/p>\n

When we got home I checked Amazon for 12.5″ x 12.5″ picture frames designed to display albums. There they were $12.99 each, but a Google search turned up a sale at Micahel’s — 3 frames for $11.99. A quick trip across town, and we were in business.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The border of the frames are black plastic and the front is glass. On the shelf they were marked at $22.99, but they did indeed ring up at half that price at the register.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The cardboard backing comes with four rotating clips attached along with a mounting bracket. After rotating the brackets, an album can be placed inside the frame and the backing can be reattached. I quickly discovered that these frames are designed for single albums. Double albums, like the White Album<\/i>, are almost too thick. On that one, I had to settle for only using three of the four clips. Fortunately, gravity should keep the album from falling out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three screws later, the albums were hanging above Morgan’s bed. Both she and I were happy with the results, and I picked up another three frames so I can hang a few more albums on the wall around the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
