Snapbox provided me with the canvas for this post and I was also compensated. All opinions are my own.
Yesterday I shared some updates to one corner of the living room, where I used an antique door to display family photos. Well today, I am sharing more updates to the living room in another corner. When I began rearranging the space to accommodate more seating, I moved Chris’ desk to the other side of entry into the room. Before I moved it, it had a gold framed chalkboard hanging above it, but I moved that to another space, and needed some art for above the desk. I knew I wanted something special and black and white…. I searched online and didn’t find anything that I wanted, but then came to the realization that it would be the perfect space for a family photo! Snapbox Prints carries gorgeous canvas wrapped gallery prints that come in small or large scale, and of course I needed large scale to fill my space. I also knew I wanted a photo that was vertically oriented, so I sorted through the family photos taken by Jalapeno Photography, and selected this one, which I took from color to black and white in picmonkey…
Once I selected the photo, I uploaded the highest quality photo I could (since I was printing this out on a 30×40 canvas), and then selected the option of having the image continue on the wrap (you can also select mirror image or black as well; or you can opt to have your canvas framed).
I was jumping up and down Saturday when a large shallow box arrived for me from Snapbox. I couldn’t wait to see my canvas and hang it on the wall! As soon as I got it out of the box, I had my anchor, screw, and screwdriver ready to mount it!
I just adore it, but it’s full of happiness for me and so personal. Check out the canvas, too- you can see how beautifully printed it is on the canvas. (And if you see Emmy at all, be sure to tell her how cute her hair looked this short…. I am trying to convince her to chop it!).
And here you can see that my image continues on the wrap because that was the option I selected.
So now this corner is really coming along, but I need some sort of cactus fake plant that I can’t kill in the corner to bring in some life, color, and help fill that void.
Adding this canvas over the desk also brought balance to that side of the space; there are now black and white family photos on either side of the room’s only entry. See? There is yesterday’s project!
I am so happy to not only have the black and white large art I wanted on the wall, but especially happy that it is so meaningful to me, and makes me smile. This space is a true reflection of our family, so it’s fitting that our photos should grace these walls. Thank you to Snapbox Prints for providing me with such special art.
Also, once again, be sure to check out Brynne’s post today, which shares an awesome DIY floating vintage patent print. Her art is just awesome, and brings a great graphic to her space- check it out!
