When I travel, I like to take a lot of pictures; of everything. I share many of the pictures on Instagram and Facebook, and show them to family, but then they often get forgotten on my phone or memory card. Until now! I've decided to start using my travel pictures as artwork in my home. This way, the pictures on my walls represent not only things I like, but also memories of the journey to get the picture.
Photowall.com offers a couple great options for getting your own images made into art including a really cool wall mural. Just think of the possibilities...that great mountain pic for your living room, or you and your family enjoying a joyful meal for a warm kitchen wall, or maybe the place you met your significant other for a bedroom wall, endless options for art when the image is your own. When they offered me a chance to try their product in exchange for a review I jumped at the chance to have one of my favorite pictures from my trip to the Aran Islands turned into art.
I love the idea of having a wall mural, and photowall.com's look really cool, but I couldn't pick just one picture for a whole wall, so I decided to do my picture on canvas. The process of ordering was easy. I picked the size that I wanted and uploaded my image. Then a few days later, my image on canvas arrived.
The canvas print arrived nicely rolled in protective paper with everything needed to hang the canvas, but when I saw the pieces of wood and the bag of screws, I was worried that I had made a mistake. You see I am not a bit crafty! I don't do straight lines and I just knew that I would mess it up...but I didn't!
The instructions were so easy to follow! Just pull the backing off the sticky part of the wood. Adhere it to the edges of the canvas. Fold inward. Insert and tighten the screws. That's it! No tools, and only a few minutes later and I have an awesome piece of art!
I'm so happy with how fast the turnaround time was and especially happy with how great this looks.
Now to decide which wall to hang this art on!
