Is the picture from Ikea a picture or a painting on canvas? How did it come? Rolled up and you have to mat/frame?

I really like the photo more info would be great. Good price, I am sure the framing will be expensive.

Thanks,
Jill

The Ikea picture is on canvas material and it is a photo...no framing just the actual photo on the canvas, it came that way.

It is big though. It's kind of cool just sort of free form on the wall...I hope I explained that clearly enough-I can take a picture of ours at home and post it this weekend any maybe that will make it a little clearer than the website's descrption ; )- Hope you like it!

Some info from the webiste...
Product dimensions
Width: 55 "
Height: 22 "

Width: 140 cm
Height: 56 cm

Main parts: 35 % cotton, 65 % polyester
Inside frame: Fiberboard

Weight:2,6 kg

I am in no way selling Ikea products, just passing the info along...we love our picture because we honeymooned in Aruba...it is hung in our dining area and every time we see it we are reminded of our favorite place. I hope no one is offended by my posting.

I've been thinking about taking some of my pics and sending them to these guys to put a little more color on the walls.

Wow Chadd, that is a really cool company! I just may have to do that with some of our favorite pictures! Thanks so much for sharing that! I can just see my husband rolling his eyes at yet another thing for me to spend his money on

!

And thank you Andrea!! I was hoping that no one would be bothered by it.

that site went into my favorite places
thanks

Every once in a while there is something useful in a skymall catalog.

mjn,

I really appreciate the information on the photo. If you get a chance to post the photo that would be great.
We too went to Aruba on our honeymoon 19 years agon, October 22 to November 22 1990.
I am planning on filling our den/guest room with pictures from Aruba.

Thanks again,
Jill

Arubagirl90,

you bet I will do that for you!!! I am no wiz with the computer but I will do my best to get the picture uploaded!

I love the skymall magazine!! And I too put the canvas on demand site in my favorites ; )

mjn109 · 10-25-2009, 09:34 AM

Hopefully the uploaded picture worked and although it isn't the best picture I have ever taken, the dining table and light are in the way, you'll get the idea.
