I love the idea of incorporating favorite family or personal photos in your home by making them oversized pieces of art. This pariticular piece was done by CanvasArt.com. My mom (who's not a photographer, but should be) took this picture of a bridge near where she lives and had it put on canvas by the same company, with great results.
Ignore reflection on the canvas; result of my poor photography skills. . .
For our room, I would love to do something similar to the first image and use favorite photographs of our kids. Some possibilities (and a good excuse to show you pictures of the babies):
I love this look. We recently had some photo blown up for our space and I love the way it looks.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Emily. My friend did this at her summer home and it looks great! I love it! BTW, your children are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! It gives a more artistic look to photographs. BTW, your kids are adorable & any of those pictures would be great blown up on a canvas!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I might have to look into this for my family room.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

ReplyDeleteI think this would be a wonderful addition to the room! I totally love the look of photos on canvas...It also made me think of that great tutorial on the House and Home site for doing something similar....

I've been dying to try this out but haven't had time yet.
By the way, LOVE seeing photos of your kiddies! Adorable! Your littlest one looks as impish as my Carys does...I bet those two could cause some havoc together :)
Have a fabulous Friday & weekend!

I tore that page out of the magazine! It got me going as well and I've already started my project.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea...I had a photo of me and my daughter laying in the grass when she was 6 months old put on canvas and framed for her nursery (actually a family member gave it to us as a gift--and I love it). You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeletethose pictures are beautiful! i especially love the first one of all 3!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...you're kids are so cute!!!! I'm a sucker for a back shot with an 'X' back swimsuit. I have a bajillion shots of my 4-yr old in hers.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Your kids are dolls!
ReplyDeleteCould your kiddos be any cuter? You really can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteYour children are absolutely darling! They definitely belong on some life size canvas!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I love this idea! I'm gonna have to dig into my pictures to do this! And you have such beautiful children, and you're so good with a camera.
ReplyDeleteYour children are truly beautiful! It always amazes how Mothers get so much done!!! When do you have time to blog and design!
ReplyDeleteYour little ones are crazy cute!!! Love the idea of putting your own art on canvas. And the size of that first canvas is amazing! It really says go big or go home, doesn't it?
