We were blessed this year to find a house that’s just perfect for us. The funny part was, we weren’t really even trying. We planned on expanding our old house because we were getting kind of cramped. We had the money saved and had a contractor come give us an estimate. After we saw how much the estimate was and realized we still wanted to build a garage we had tossed around the idea of looking at other houses. (The cost of the addition and a garage was going to be almost as much as buying another house in our small town). We were still planning on going forward with the contractor until one of my facebook friends shared a house listing. The house was beautiful. 4-5 bedrooms, garages, a bigger yard, a bigger kitchen, more square footage, everything we wanted and then some. I happened to see it the day it listed on Zillow. It wasn’t being sold by a realtor. I showed it to my husband and he said “I want to go look at it” I told him “I kinda want to too” After touring the house we both loved it. We had a price in mind we were hoping to talk them down to. We didn’t even have to talk them down. They said the price we were hoping for without haggling. So of course we went ahead with it.
One of the purposes of sharing my story is that we are still working on decorating our new house. We got some new furniture, curtains etc. But it still needs some finishing touches here and there. That’s where FramedArt.com comes in. I found some pieces to give color and depth to some of them rooms but I really wanted something personal. I wanted something relaxing. I searched FramedArt.com and saw a lot of beautiful choices. Then I came across the fact that I could have my own photos framed. I thought back to a photo I had taken on a walk on a nature trail in our town. I remember the fresh air, the temperature was perfect. It was a beautiful scene. I just had to snap a picture.
I wanted this picture in our bedroom. Something to look at when I need to take a deep breath and relax. The other thing about getting this framed was that it was more meaningful for me. I took the pictures, I was there, it’s right here in our hometown. Think how great it would be to have a picture of all the grand kids framed for a grandparent, to have your a photo you love framed to hang anywhere you wish in your home.
If you’re not into framing your own pics there are tons of framed pics to choose from on FramedArt.com, just click here and see for yourself. I’m not very good of taking a picture of a picture. Particularly a framed picture. I feel like with light you get the glare and without the light it’s too dark. My picture really doesn’t do it justice.
Anyway, I’m happy with the way my picture was framed. There’s so many size and framing choices on the site along with pics and artwork to choose from. You could certainly find something you like for any room of your house. Perk up a room in your house for the new year with some new art from FramedArt.com.
I received the above mentioned product in order to complete a review. Any opinions expressed are my own.
That’s a neat idea! We don’t have a lot of things on our walls, and pictures of our kids or scenes that we like is a good idea.
I LOVE that you can get your own pictures framed. I have a picture of my kids the first time standing in the ocean and it’s probably one of my favorite pictures and I’d love to have it framed.
