Finally, Art for the Bedroom

To commemorate Chris and I's big trip to Italy (I'm talking saving for five years for this trip!), I am pulling together some of the best photos from our vacation across the big pond and sending them to a printer. Now, we will finally have art in our bedroom. It's only been three years since we've moved into the house...

So, at the chance of someone stealing our photos and saying they are their own, I'm going to post... here:

It took me a while to figure out how to get both color and black and white in Photoshop...




Pretty sure you know what this is



Ancient Rome






Checking out the macro function on the camera



I just really like this one



St. Peter Square



Overlook of Rome



The Trinity?



The Tiber River



Scene from Tuscany



Steps from our hotel in Tuscany down to the pool



One of the oldest villages in Tuscany



Tuscan winery and vineyard



From inside the winery



And the spiral ramp exiting the Vatican Museum



We actually took more than 200, but these were the most wall-worthy photos. Ciao!

I really like the cross trinity and pan pipes photos. I think I could figure out the black and white with red umbrella in photoshop, but I think it'd take me a while to get. Impressive job on that one.

Are you planning on covering every square inch of wall space with pictures? Because that could be kind of cool.

Jacob - The Pan pipes one is going to be 11x14 (all the others will be various smaller sizes). And with the red umbrella one, I could not find how to do that in a book or online and no one around here knew how to do it. Some things just take messing with!

Courtney - Ha! This made me laugh! It looks like we are covering the entire wall, doesn't it? We have two fairly large bare walls in the bedroom. I'm going to do one with color photos and the other with black and white photos. The red umbrella one may go in the living room.

Great photos! I like the trinity one the best, but they're all pretty cool. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Love the photos! I'm still trying to figure out how to use photosuite. lol..I need some art downstairs!

Stephanie said...

Beautiful photos! Hmm, should've asked me about the red umbrella...I know how! Glad you figured it out!

I'm jumping on the Trinity bandwagon. It's an awesome shot although I'm picking the spiral ramp as the wild card runner up. The light is amazing in this shot and the motion well captured. KK would be so proud.
