I like to swap out accessories from summer and bring in fall colors that will bring me through the Thanksgiving day holiday when it culminates with my family here for Thanksgiving dinner! Then quickly change and begin the Christmas holiday decor… but I digress. Pick me for that gift certificate… I'd love to get some seasonal images blown up and use them as decor!
New sunroom. I have a special photo I want to enlarge for the mantle. Town in Sotland, where my Grandfather was born. My son recently visited and brought back photos. Going to see if this is possible through Snapfish.
I went the Citadel while visiting Haiti for humanitarian work. I would love to hang some of those pictures in my new place. I don't want to forget the experience of climbing that mountain and being awestruck by the fort and view from the top.
I'm going to redo my college bound son's bedroom. He wants a nautical, beach theme so a picture from our summer beach vacation on canvas would be a great addition.
We moved our 6 & 2year old in the same room so we can turn the baby room into a playroom. We would love to paint one wall with chalk paint, build shelves to hold their toys, and add canvas picture snap shots of the boys playing sports to make it a sport theme.
Definitely want to take our pictures from France and update these walls.
Never had a wall canvas made before and now that I have my 18 month old son, I would love to get a great pic of him so I can hang it in his room! He loves to see pics of himself!
Putting decor together to celebrate Christmas with family in our new home this year.
I need a new sofa since this one is breaking. That will be the major purchase this fall.
I love snapfish. Getting ready for my daughter's wedding next month. A big family canvas should be in my future!
Since Fall is bestest season I have a lot of fall items to place out. I have some pumpkins, indian corn, lots of fall colored candles in earth tones.
I'll be updating by bringing out the fall decorations and switching the throws on the couch to ones with a fall color palette.
Plan to get the kids ready for school..one week to go ..start early here…
What a great idea. I need to do this with a print from our daughters weddi.
I hope to finally put that gallery wall up on our stairway!
New flooring, new paint, refinish kitchen cabinets, and get my photos enlarged and framed….everything but the bath……
Fall time in Alaska is a special season. The days start to shorten and we lose our 24 hour days of sunshine. We are sad to see the sun less and less, but the crisp days and the lower sun shining through the golden birch leaves, the rich dark greens of the spruce and the multi-colors of the last of our summer flowers, create a sparkle to the outside. I like to bring those beautiful colors inside our log cabin to warm up our dark carpeting and wood logs by bringing out the beautiful silk throw and pillow shams I found at a street market in Beijing. The beautiful reds, burnished oranges and golden tones almost glow in the light of the last bit of sun shining in our southern facing windows. It warms our space as much as the wood burning stove will, when the last of those birch leaves hit the ground and the snow starts to cover us up with its white blanket of fresh powder. Those treasures help us to transition through the darkness on the way to our favorite time of the year….spring!
I love decorating for all of the seasons, however fall is my favorite! I have buckets of all of my fall things that I can't wait to pull out and start decorating. I have to admit it, but I've already purchased a few fall things, since the stores keep putting things out so early! I have plrent of fall pictures of my kids that would look great on these prints!
Would be cool to win this to display some pics from our Alaska vacation, during which my boyfriend and I got engaged, or from our upcoming wedding (:
Beautiful exotic flowers are my passion. My husband grew a tree hibiscus and the bloom was magnificent. Can’t wait to put it in our new bedroom. I love Snapfish!!!
To update for fall i plan to change out accent pillows and window treatments with rich fall color hues
Our 20-year-old daughter died in the Fall nearly 16 years ago. She loved the vibrance of the Autumn colors. Every year, I bring those colors inside. Natural decorations of pumpkins, gourds, indian corn, a bowl of red apples, mums and glowing candles; a little splash of nature graces our home and reminds us of her. Outdoors are pumpkins on the steps, indian corn on the door, and colorful mums galore! I like the simple approach.
We are bringing in fall colors and art. We are focusing on browns, yellows, reds, and oranges. I LOVE a new look!
I am updating by adding new pillows and accessories….
Outside: Prune all the plants back the die down for the winter. Store pots as needed & refinish 3 decks before the rainy season starts. Inside: Replace 15 year old carpeting and paint in 2 rooms. Take candles out of the fireplace and stack with wood. Trade out summer pillows and finally relax.
We need wall art, and voila, look whats up for this months competition
I am going to use bold colours, like mustard yellow, oxblood, with a splash of teal (it makes me smile!). I am also changing the light fixture (replace fixture with a hemp yarn ball, instead of the typical circular light fixture). .
i always wanted to have a family picture but money is tight, we couldn't afford to get a big photo canvas. my kids are growing i would like to have a family picture hanging in our living room. we are still trying to paint our house and we couldn't figure out what color to paint. and if ever the paint is done i want to put up the canvas in our living room.
I am redoing my son's room in a Yankee/Giants theme. Took some old lockers and painted them and will pinstipe one of his walls. I have been finding cheaper, beautiful furnature on craigslist and am thinking of painting my dinning room set and putting fabric or wrapping paper inside for a cheap change.
I am updating my home by painting all the interior walls and the staining the wood beams on the decks.
My husband and I just bought our very first house (super exciting)! We plan to turn it into our "home" by this fall. We are looking forward to hanging canvas pictures from our wedding day throughout our home.
