You want to decorate with something personal, but just can’t find it. It may be as close as your photo collection whether it’s in Grandma’s old photo album or on a modern digital photo system.
You can order a custom artistic photo reproduction and have a one-of-a-kind creation as a focal point or an accent to any home or office decorating scheme.
Here’s a list of 18+ ideas to help inspire your next online photo processing journey.
Now, think outside the photo album and decide what you want to convert to a permanent, personal work of art:
1. A treasured home: your first residence, an ancestral home, your dream home
2. A landscape: a snowy mountain top, a flowering meadow, a desert sunset
3. A seascape: a wave cresting with a surfer in the foreground, a sailboat heading into home port after a trip around the world, a full moon reflecting off of still glistening waters
4. A person’s portrait: an ancestor, a hero, a beloved relative or entire family
5. A favorite animal: a pet, an elephant in a zoo eating peanuts out of your kid’s hand, a giraffe in its natural habitat
6. A special event: a wedding, graduation, or awards ceremony
7. A historical building: the United States capital, the Westminster Abbey in London, the Parthenon in Greece
8. A wonder of the world: the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the Mayan Ruins in Mexico
9. A sentimental building: the church where you got married, the hotel where you went on your ideal vacation, the theater where you stole your first kiss or starred in a community play
10. A valuable item: an antique piece of furniture, an heirloom musical instrument, a collection of jewelry displayed on a Thai silk blouse
11. A sentimental centerpiece grouping: a classic novel with grandpa’s reading glasses resting beside a burning candle, the notepad and pencil you used to hand write your first novel, a place setting of your mother’s china pattern
12. A memorable scene: a nostalgic library setting with rows of books, a red-tailed hawk sitting on a tree limb, a set of alphabet blocks scattered around the floor with a special word spelled out.
13. A symbol of your life: the tree your parents planted the day you were born, your firstborn walking into school that heart-wrenching first day, the Statue of Liberty that welcomed you to the United States
14. Your favorite toy: an old train set, your first bike, a trunk full of miniature cars and trucks
15. Still lifes: the first bouquet of roses from your fiancé, a bowl of the first fruit from your orchard, the top of your wedding cake with a bottle of champagne and two goblets
16. Your favorite vacation destination: the Cayman Islands, Thailand, New York City
17. A work process; how a factory makes cheese, the steps for creating a porcelain doll, the evolution of your business locations from a start up to a major employer in your community
18. Words of wisdom: a meaningful poem, an inspirational quote, a list of affirmations
If you can picture it; it’s possible to paint.
