Bring your Instagram Photos to Life

If you're anything like me you'll have agonized over your hundreds of well thought out, carefully taken photos with that perfect Instagram filter. I can honestly say my most favorite photographs are the ones on my Instagram account and it's lovely that I can share them online - so why do I feel like they're unreachable, away from me in a digital world?

Sure, they're on display to my dedicated Instagram followers but what about those closest to me, visiting my home? Whose Nan is on Instagram? And I'm sure if anyone actually checked, there would be a whole bunch of their nearest and dearest who didn't know they were such a smashing photographer!

So I've decided how important it is to display my lovely Instagram pictures away from the online bubble - maybe you have too? - and I've found just the ticket.

An Image Block was the perfect way to bring my Instagram pictures to life, the 25mm acrylic square block stands by itself and is a beautiful, modern, robust photo frame alternative. Something that can be passed around, admired and then placed back in its spot so easily is exactly what I needed, in fact I'm thinking one might not be enough - why not turn my home into a bigger, more fabulous version of my Instagram page!

Obviously I could have put any of my photographs onto the block but I thought an Instagram square would look super smart, well proportioned and would easily fit into any room I choose. I love the thought of my photograph being passed around the house travelling to a brand new spot whilst being admired talked about - I could have a whole team of interchangeable photographs, why stop at one? 

My Instagram feed tells a story and half of the appeal is the narrative in a group of photographs. My block design doesn't just bring my pictures to life, it brings my story to life. I have chosen numerous photographs of my handsome nephew, which fit together perfectly in that Instagram block style - what better story than the first years of his life?

Now the whole family wants an image block, so that's Christmas sorted for me this year! I can't blame them really, the block will look just beautiful displayed anywhere - smart enough to sit on a relatives mantelpiece, yet fun enough to decorate my nephews bedroom. Perfect.
