So many times I have been asked, "Are your walls just plastered with beautiful photos of your kids? They are so lucky." Sadly, I haven't been able to respond with a "Yes!". Until now.
A HUGE box (check the dailies over there...) arrived this week with my family's first canvas inside.
The kids now have life-sized (if not a bit bigger) clones hanging in the playroom!
{charlotte showing me that she's still got it.}
{the canvas is 32x48" and is gallery wrapped around a 1 1/2" frame. swoon!}
{a view from across the hallway. My view while walking out of my room each morning.}
Now while the canvas is a permanent fixture, I've also created a place for rotating photos.
2 of the 4 ikea magnet boards in the playroom hold family photos. They are meant to be rotated out every 3-4 months. This way we can enjoy a lot of photos without having to frame and hand them all!
How do you display photos in your home? I'd love to see/hear.

LOVE that canvas- Amazing!!! And I have those ikea boards in my hallway too!

thanks leah! The containers are pottery barn kids and they are most definitely not glass. Not with three kids running around ;)
here's a link: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/sw1640/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C12%7C%7C%7C1%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Ccandy&cm%5Fsrc=SCH
looks like they aren't selling them online anymore, but I recently saw them in our store. hope that helps!

Looks great! Love the colors. Now where did you get the little containers holding the crayons and stuff on the table and are they glass?

i think that is just the cutest picture i have ever seen, elizabeth. and it looks unbelievable on canvas! you are inspiring me to do something with my own little people and then actually put it on the wall (usually stays on my computer)! :)

What a great idea. That is a beautiful picture. Way to capture them all in their own little world. It's beautiful.

liz...
I order my canvas through a pro company based here in so cal. I offer them to my clients and they create a high quality product.
there are many companies who do gallery wrapped canvas though. I haven't ordered one myself, but I know www.mpix.com sells canvas.
You'll need to choose a photo with some room around the sides (I left room for three inches of wrap on the top and sides for this one). Nothing too tightly cropped.
hope that helps!

Looks fabulous! How did you print it? Did you order it from a company online?

I have two things on my wall. A family picture and The Living Christ in Thai and English. I think decorating walls is a very intimidating task. I need some help with this. PS. I want to get a copy of Chalk Creek this year. Can I get it in a regular size or is it going to be bigger?

This turned out beautifully!
I love that your kids are just their playful selves in the image. You keep that face going Charlotte! It is my daughter's favorite too!

How did I not run up your stairs to go see the canvas, when I just dropped Hailey off??! I am ashamed that I had to see it on your blog... boo. It. Is. Amazing. Can't wait to see it up close. I will be over in 5 minutes. :)
