How to: Make Your Digital Photos Look Old

We love making old things new again but today we have had so much fun making new things old. Don’t worry, we don’t mean nasty paint jobs to give furniture that “rustic look”. We’re talking about making your new shiny digital photos look all old and like you’ve found them in a tin box under one of your floorboards while renovating. Check out some more photos under the jump..

We’ve gathered up a couple of our favourite pictures from some of this weeks post to compare old and new…

Look! Red Painted Trellis Screens

Look! Tiled Stairs in Sydney

How to: Clean Cheaply

Good Quotes: On Feeling At Home

To do this to your own photos visit Wanokoto here [it’s all in Japanese but easy to navigate around]. Thanks to Camillia for pointing this great site out.

We’re focusing on colour this month at AT but think that black and white has a timeless feel to it- how does you home look in black & white?

The site has the option to be translated to English at the top-right, which makes it even easier to navigate!
