My Custom 'Jarrah Jungle' Art From Minted
I had a gift voucher to use at Minted which is a website where independent artists and designers can showcase their art, stationary, fabrics, homewares and more.
There's a huge variety to choose from and because you can personalise a lot of the items as well it makes it even harder to narrow it down. I spent hours looking through everything, the cards and invitations look amazing too and they'll even send you free samples!
I picked out these adorable straw flags for my engagement party, they were just too cute to resist and looked fantastic on the drinks table at the party!
Now what I was really interested in was the art.
Minted has hundreds of different artists and styles of art to choose from in the art marketplace and I narrowed it down by searching under the Custom Art Prints category so I could personalised the art by changing the colours and adding text.
I had a very special idea in mind for this art. As the laundry is the very last room to renovate inside our home I decided to do an ode to the Jarrah Jungle my blog namesake and my home and have some custom art named 'Jarrah Jungle' for the laundry.
Here are some designs I played around with ....
Once I was happy with the art I could select the size, I went for A4 so it was large enough to be seen but not too big that framing it would be difficult. Most of the art comes in a variety of sizes.
As for the frame, you can have it framed or unframed and there were some really great frames to pick from and reasonably priced too but with shipping to Australia it was better to get it unframed so the shipping was just standard postage and then frame it myself.
It took me a while but I finally found the perfect box style frame for it from Spotlight for under $20. I love how it gives the art a real gallery type look.
Once framed I found a home for the art in the laundry, although I haven't committed to hanging it on the wall just yet, for now I love to see it leaning on the laundry bench it adds just the right pop of colour to the room.
I feel very special having my own piece of customised Jarrah Jungle art!
It won't be long until I can show you a proper 'after' blog post of the laundry renovation, we still have some doors to hang and paint, shelves to install, and a mirror to find and then we'll be done!
Have you added any new art to your home lately?
Disclosure: Thanks very much to Minted for providing me with a gift voucher. I have not received any payment or compensation. As always, all opinions are my own.
