Home Decoration Pro; Facebook Photos Wall Art

So what’s so great about Facebook photos for wall art was my first thought…..and yours I suspect.  After doing some review it seems there is actually some merit not only to the question, but to the answer.  How would you feel about having your favorite low resolution Facebook pictures produced as high definition, high quality, large scale digital photographs on canvas suitable for wall art?  I’ve discovered a company that seems to have the technology and ability (exclusively so far) to do exactly that, and for a very short time they’re offering a 20% discount if you know the code.  They’re not limited to canvas wall art however, as they’ve come up with some unique ideas on how to extend the concept to all sorts of fun, simple projects.

It all began when people started coming to this particular company with their Facebook favorites to get a high quality picture produced large enough to make it into wall art…..not an easy task.  However, this particular company, instead of seeing it as a problem could see it as a great niche to fill if they could master the needed technology. ” Voila,” as they say, and two years later we now have a new resource that is on call to produce your favorite Facebook photos into your favorite wall art, or a dozen or more other media ideas.

CanvasPop Image Idea

The use of the “instagram” process to make additional products I find to be of real interest: calendars, post cards (have them made while you’re on site during your vacation and sent to friends and family), collage posters, virtual business cards…….14 different items.  Some great ideas, and a unique way to have your favorite photos made into customized wall decor, or even into your favorite coasters if you want something different at your next party.

Who’s the company?  CanvasPop, and they created what they call “PerfectPicture” technology which uses a micro-vectorization process to produce high definition images, even in larger formats.  At this time they are offering productions up to  2′ x 3′, and state they can use “any image, any size from anywhere” and their service is available for Canada and the USA.  Prices begin at $30.00 for an  8″ x 10″ photo and their services do include the option of framed art as well.  If you hurry (and find this in time) you can use this code for your 20% off through 3/18/2012 (Sunday):  MASHABLE20.

Have fun getting your phone photos and other low resolution pictures made into artful productions, large or small, less than a dollar each for postcards, or the large framed 2′ x 3′ framed photo for $219.00.  Your imagination is the only thing that will limit you to give it a try, so go have some fun and impress your friends and family.

Three Pics Together

If you decide you need some special accents for that wall art don’t forget we have some uniquely crafted designs of our own, or let us know what you have in mind and we should be able to put together that perfect piece.

Home Decoration Pro; “Easy Off” Wall Coverings

There are quite a number of “Easy Off” wall coverings available from different sources, but I only know of one that allows you to submit a photo of what you want and within minutes place your order for up to a 20′ x 20′ wall covering.  With a new season just ahead of us (Fall/2011) this may be a great time to make a change in your wall decor.  There is a new start up company I’m referring to by the name of InkShuffle.com.  After an extensive site review and comparison search, here are some details about the products and services they offer:

  • coverings are easily removed without wall damage or paint removal
  • smaller size of 3′ x 3′ starts at $54.90
  • 7′ x 8′ example of Thanksgiving Bounty is $246.96
  • murals, posters & canvas wraps
  • installation very similar to wallpaper
  • over 2,000,000 stock designs advertised on site
  • 30 different categories in murals
  • high quality digital photos accepted for printing
  • murals can be cropped, filtered and customized
  • pre-pasted
  • requires at least two people and 24″ water trays for installation

Flower background "Easy - Off" Design

I’ve included one of the better images that illustrates a stock pattern example that may be acceptable for some Victorian decor if you don’t mind the untextured semi gloss designs.
I found the site to be interesting and flexible for using one’s own art files, however I don’t visualize recommending their stock art  for most professional offices or high end homes.  The semi gloss scenes, patterns, and photos may work well for some, but they’re not my style .  So much of what I reviewed was pop art, Asian scenic graphics, children’s room art, city scenes, pictures of cows…….you get the idea.  If that’s what you’re looking for you can choose from one of the 30 categories, and actually kids and young adults may actually love them.  The other option is to submit your own art, but the final product will be a flat, semi-gloss, untextured surface.  Colors will be vivid, and installation will be similar to wallpaper, but cosmopolitan it’s not.

Halloween Theme for your wall.

I’m sure they have a great niche producing wall coverings from their customer’s own art, but for me a semi-gloss photo on the wall doesn’t cut it.  One thing to remember is that with a photographic mural on your wall your stuck with it until you change it.  There’s no logical way to alter the decor of the “Halloween Theme,” and how long do you want to celebrate Halloween?  Using more traditional patterns you can decorate with your favorite framed art, wall sconces, or other wall art.  There are quite a number of patterns available with a repetitive theme, but none I like.  The idea of a wall photo scene is too limiting.  I had a wall photo when I was a teenager and it was fun for awhile, but then I got tired of the same scene day after day and outgrew the concept.  What’s your opinion of this wall covering format?  Am I being too critical of them?  It’s for you to decide.
