Best Wall Art For Every Room In Your Home

January 15, 2021 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

One of the highlights of moving into our newly built dream house three years ago was finding the perfect decor. And for my husband and me, no room is complete without the perfect wall art!

I had a small collection of original paintings when I met my husband. And thanks to some artistic acquaintances, some visits to art shows, and some key pieces from Fine Art America, we were able to expand that collection into a unique and beautiful assortment of paintings that suit us perfectly.

But when it came to adding the art to different rooms, I noticed that some paintings just did better in certain areas than others. If you’re planning on adding some new art to your house, these are my tips for choosing the perfect pieces for different spaces: [Read more…]

Turn Memories into Art with Canvas Factory-Giveaway

April 20, 2016 by Kathryn 135 Comments

One of my favourite things about a family vacation is looking through all the great pictures afterwords. While they all bring back special memories, there’s always one or two photos that seem to sum up the entire vacation for me. And there’s no better way to preserve the memories of a great vacation than by having one of those photos transformed into a beautiful piece of wall art!

Recently Canvas Factory gave me the chance to do just that with one of my recent photos, and I immediately started browsing through the pictures from our recent trip to Orlando to see which one I wanted to use. There were a few that I liked, but I eventually decided on a photo of my boys and their Nanny in front of the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was the boys’ first time in Disney World and I knew that was a moment I wanted to remember.

Sharing Everyday Moments with Photo Art from BLACKS Photography

August 5, 2014 by Kathryn 66 Comments

There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing a great image of my boys. And often, my favourite pictures are ones I take during fleeting everyday moments. Taking a decent picture of Benjamin with the perfect smile or Zackary whizzing down the street on his bike isn’t as easy as it sounds and when I succeed in freezing one of those fleeting moments in time, I want to show it off.

Recently I had the chance to do just that by turning some of my favourite Instagram images of everyday moments into wall art and other photo products at BLACKS.CA. As I just painted and renovated my living room last year, I’m still perfecting its décor and I was so excited to have the chance to add some fun and meaningful artwork of my boys’ special moments to our walls.

If you’re looking for a gift that makes a big impact this Christmas, the new Gallery Box from posterjack is sure to become a family heirloom. And posterjack makes getting that perfect gift easy with online ordering featuring plenty of customization options for a personalized gift that will be treasured for a lifetime. I had the chance to review the new Gallery Box and having recently done a makeover in my living room, I decided to get a picture for the wall of that room to dress it up a little more.

I headed to posterjack.ca and uploaded one of the pictures from my family’s recent trip to Disneyland in a 16” by 16” size with a white frame to match the white trim of the room. I couldn’t wait to see how it would look! The picture arrived within a week and I pulled it out of the box and put it on the wall immediately. The Gallery Box frame creates a bold look that is sure to create a great focal point for any room. And I loved being able to look at it hanging on the wall throughout the day and relive the memories of our family’s magical adventure. [Read more…]
