running: the dawn

Awhile ago I was contacted by Canvas Prints to check out making and reviewing one of their photo canvases.  What a PERFECT time!  Moving to a new house provides all kinds of redecorating opportunity.  The challenge was finding a good picture to use.  Mr. Dawn and I are both miserable at remembering to take pictures of memorable occasions…and when we do, he usually makes a weird picture (hence the sidebar photo ).

Luckily I have an AWESOME brother who takes amazing pictures.  Remember the photo shoot he did for us over Christmas?  Well we decided that those were the best option for a picture to transform into a canvas.  I place my order about a week ago and when I got home from work today, look what I found:

I was so excited to open it and see how it turned out….

And…It’s perfection!

I choose the 8×10 canvas with a 1.5 inch wrap because I don’t plan on framing it.  I love the clean lines and simple look of the wrapped picture.  I also selected the wrapped part to be the “mirror image” of the photo which makes it look so cool!  I’m just sad that I have to pack it up with all of our other pictures until we move .  I’m so ready to find a home for my new favorite work of art.  I’m already starting to picture the other pictures that I want to add to this wall collage…

What I really liked about the site is that you can see exactly what you’re going to get.   I wasn’t sure how zoomed in I wanted to be with the picture.  I was able to play around with different options and see exactly what I was going to get before I placed my order.  And it looks exactly like I remember from the online version.

So, if you’re looking for a new wall hanging, check out Canvas Prints!
