If you want to show off photos of your family in your home at Paseo at Bee Cave, you may be looking for ways that are more unique than the traditional frames. Here are a few fun and creative ways to display family photos anywhere in the home.

1. Create a Polaroid wall. Display everyone’s favorite retro photos with a wall of Polaroids. Simply line them up in a square, a circle or even a heart shape — no frame required.
2. Hang them from wires. Attach thin wires to your wall using small hooks and hang your photos from matching binder clips.
3. Use a pants hanger. If you have a few wooden, clamp-style pant hangers hanging in your closet, use them to display larger photos and prints.
4. Turn them into coasters. If you’re completely out of wall (and shelf) space, turn your family photos into coasters. Many websites offer personalized coasters and other types of accessories at affordable prices.
5. Use clipboards. Visit your local office supply store and purchase a few classic wooden clipboards. Simply clip your photos to the board, hang it from the wall, or prop it up on a shelf.
6. Make a chalkboard gallery wall. If you have a large chalkboard in your home, turn it into a gallery wall by drawing your own frames in chalk around your favorite family photos.

If you think that you have to jet off to the City of Light in order to find an authentic taste of Paris, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you visit Austin’s Baguette et Chocolate. This traditional French patisserie and boulangerie creates some of the most popular pastries and baked goods from French cuisine entirely from scratch, and it even has the same cozy, intimate feeling as a cafe found on the cobblestone streets of Paris.

Sample colorful macarons and gourmet éclairs au chocolat with a steaming cup of espresso, or pop in for a casual lunch of fresh croque madame sandwiches and pressed paninis around midday. If you’re planning a special occasion, Baguette et Chocolate is also one of the best places in the area to find custom cakes with your choice of decorations.

If you’re looking for an elegant and uniquely cultural lunch option in the Austin area, you’ll find it at this Parisian bakery.
