I have been wanting an oversized photograph for my living room for a while now.
I would love to get my hands on a piece by Gray Malin but it just isn’t in the budget.
Luckily I own a starter SLR camera and decided to give it a shot (no pun intended!).
I headed down to Laguna Beach and pretended I knew what I was doing.
With a little editing (thanks iPhoto) I managed to get a few frame worthy shots.
If I can do this, anyone can!
I printed it at Art.com when they were having a 50% off sale a few weeks back.
Their sales happen often, so just keep checking back and you are bound to get a deal.
I knew I wanted to use this Ikea Frame, you just can’t beat the price for such a large size! ($24.99)
I also wanted the photograph to be as large as possible so removing the mat was a must.
I selected the 30″ x 40″ printing size (originally $45.99) and trimmed a few inches off the edges to fit the Ribba frame.
The large printed photograph cost $23.00 and the white frame $25.00, making the total only $48.00!
I am really happy with how it turned out.
What do you think?
Would you willing to give this a try?
xo,
It’s just so so pretty and perfect for your living room
I love it! The area above my oversized couch is giving me stress!. This is a perfect option!
That looks great!!! Love it 🙂

Love it! When you enlarged the photo did it become very pixelated? I’d love to try this out.
Great work! Such a big impact for a small budget. I might try this for my daughters’ rooms.
Hi Danielle, I just started a blog and your post inspired mine! I did this about a year ago but just wrote up the post today. Thanks for your inspiration 🙂 http://goodwillgoneglam.blogspot.com/2014/10/oversized-art.html?spref=fb
That is beautiful. How is the quality of the print? I have some engineer prints I’d love to replace with a better product and this would be an affordable option!
This is gorgeous Danielle!
Danielle! This is so incredible! I’m an ig follower and have been scrounging all over Google trying to find a pic I could print similar to this! So I have an awkward question. Any chance I could buy your pic? 🙂 I’m landlocked in Oklahoma, but used to live in Sydney and have been wanting a gray malin print but… $$$! 🙂 I would love a copy of your pic above!!
