GIVEAWAY | Custom Canvas from MILK Books

Happy Monday! Today I'm thrilled to team up with the lovely folks from MILK Books to show you just how gorgeous their canvases are AND to launch an exclusive CB contest offering one lucky reader a free custom canvas of their own! [Scroll to the bottom for the details on the giveaway!] Now let's take a look at the canvas gallery wall I recently created from some favorite photos I took while living in Europe:

I probably took over a million photos (no joke!) during the three years J&I lived abroad and sadly, the images have mostly just existed in forgotten facebook albums - does that happen to you, too? For almost a year, I've been meaning to choose some favorites and decide on a way to display them in our loft. Luckily, the lovely folks at MILK had just the answer and with their help, I made six black-and-white square canvases and I think they turned out great!

ps. I think creating a gallery wall of travel photos like I did would be the perfect way to pay homage to your honeymoon memories so snap away!



I chose to go with the large square option (16 x 16") canvases from MILK. All six arrived neatly packaged and as soon as I removed the wrapping, I was struck by the sharp, crisp detail and the luxe quality of the matte pure cotton canvas. I also like that they use treated pine framing to provide a strong structure. MILK also offers canvases in a smaller size (12 x 12") and a larger landscape style (20 x 16").


Curious about the company? I love the sweet story of how MILK came to be: "Award-winning publisher Geoff Blackwell wanted to create a book to celebrate his father’s seventieth birthday. To do so he joined forces with his brothers and their families, and found collaborating with them and then surprising his dad with the book to be one of the most memorable and moving experiences of his life. This occasion inspired Geoff to create a print-on-demand book service allowing people from all over the world to collaborate to create their own books. His dream was to produce truly exceptional books made with the finest available paper and bound the old-fashioned way with center-stitched binding that lasts for generations. He and fellow publisher Ruth Hobday partnered with Moleskine and Moleskine + MILK was born."

Lastly, I thought I'd share a bit about the images I chose to have printed. Narrowing it down to just six images to spotlight was really tough but I knew I only wanted to highlight trips that J&I had gone on together and that we had truly enjoyed. So, together we chose a mix from the following trips: Paris / Santorini / Venice / Tropea, Italy / Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany / Venice (again!) ps. If you click the links, they'll take you to my honeymoon guides for each locale. ;)
