He beat me too asking the question!
What kind of or place to buy album frames wound you recommend?
Your place is inspiring and fantastic.
Thank you!

Well you beat me to this question. Where did you get those record holders that can be changed out? Very nice room. I'm sure you enjoy it quite a bit.

One Way or Another
The album frames are from Michaels. Look for the 12.5 by 12.5 size and go for the metal frames with glass, not the plastic. I paid around $5-7 per frame in a sale. That's in Canada so I am sure a slightly better deal can be found in the US.

Some tips:
- Remove the record and store it in a plastic sleeves (inner and an outer).
- Buy extra frames...you may break a few by accident, like me.
- Don't use the built-in hook since it will never be perfectly level. Instead, use a nail with a 1/4" head for a wall hook and place the edge of the frame over the nail head. This will provide you with some flexibility to help ensure even spacing for multiple frames. And always measure twice.
For record bins, I went the easy, but more costly route--LpBin. Decent quality and a great seller to deal with. Don't forget the GrooveMat accessory that makes album slippage a thing of the past. Top lamps are from Ikea and an adjustable fluorescent lamp from Lowes is in the bottom half.
