New Artwork
I have been stewing about what type of wall decor to put on my large kitchen wall (the one where the row of cabinets was). I attempted to make my own Andy-Warhol-ish piece, but that didn't turn out, so I went back to the drawing board. I have always loved this old photograph my Mom has of my Dad's family gathered around the table. So, while I was in Boise, I had it blown up 318 times the original. I had it done at Eagle Blue, a large-format printing place, and they scanned it on a high-resolution scanner, then used a high-res. printer to print it.

It's on a matte photo-like paper and is about 4' by 5.75'.


I really like how it turned out. I think it gives a vintage, museum-like quality to my kitchen and I love that it is a piece of family history. I thought it was well worth the $56. Now, if I can just keep those crayons and markers of my little artists off of it!

This is such a cool photo and what a great way to use it. I love all of your projects. You inspire me to be more design-y.
