Family Room Art Update + Free Wall Art Download

by Jennifer

I know simplification is a big new year theme for many people, and I am feeling it more than ever this year. I’d been feeling sort of meh about the wall art situation in my family room for awhile. Not because I didn’t like the individual pieces – I actually really like all of them – but I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were a little too busy and that one standout piece would have more impact but also be calmer and simpler than the grouping of three I had there.

I was so inspired by this image from The Jungalow and when I was at my parents’ house this summer I snapped a bunch of photos of the light reflecting in the water of their pool.

It was a really fun photography exercise, actually. I was so surprised at how totally different each photo looked, even though they were snapped only seconds apart. I liked several of them but ultimately decided to frame one that had great movement and shape variety and I love (LOVE love) the way it came out and the way it looks in my family room.

In the spirit of simplification, I went with a simple, classic white frame from Snapbox. I’ve worked with Snapbox before (see the vacation gallery wall I put together with them HERE) and continue to be impressed with their quick turnaround time and the value for price they offer in the custom framing industry.

I chose to have this image printed on fine art paper (similar to the texture of watercolor paper), which has a really nice weight to it. I really like the way Snapbox prints and frames images with a white border that mimics the look of a custom mat without the price tag.

Just like the last time I worked with Snapbox, the print quality is excellent and I couldn’t be happier with the finished result.

This post was sponsored by Snapbox, however the idea for the print and all opinions expressed in this post are mine alone. I highly recommend Snapbox for custom printing and framing and believe their quality and value are both excellent. Thank you for trusting me and for supporting the companies I choose to work with!

    Oh I so love it! And it’s awesome that you are offering it for a free download. And those chairs with the leopard pillows are hunting me in my dreams. IN A GOOD WAY.

    Hi Jenn, The family room look amazing. Love the new print. I have a questions for you. Where did you get the amazing cream throw on the first photo. It’s so pretty and airy!

      Thanks, Helena. My mother-in-law knit the blanket for me :)

    Absolutely mesmerising photo of the water! And it does add so much to the room! Inspired! Love your posts!

      How nice – thank you so much, Myra!

    Yes mesmerising…really nice like the white frame with print. Did you take the photo with a camera or cell phone camera?

    • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

      at

      Thank you, Lori :) I used my camera but you could certainly give it a shot with a cell phone. A lot can be done with photo editing software, though I didn’t do much to the image I took other than soften the bright aqua a bit.

    Thanks SO much for sharing…very generous!! I too fell in love with the image from The Jungalow, and it has been on my “to-do” list! Can’t wait to have it printed.

      Thank you! Me too – I think the room needed just that color and statement. At least to me :)

      Thank you, Lisa! I love the way the color came out too. It actually took my parents a little while to figure out what it was and it was their pool!

    Love this. Thanks for the download. What size is your print?

    • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

      at

      I did the 20×30 option on fine art paper from Snapbox.

      • Erin Rizzo says

        Thanks!!!!

        Jennifer, I am finally after six months going to order the print. I think I am going to do the same 20×30 as you did, but what size frame did you use? I am a little concern about the size.

        • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

          at

          The frames are all the same size, you just choose white or black. I’m on vacation right now but the width of the frame itself is an inch or two, I believe.

            Ok, thanks. Have a great vacation.
