Minted Home Review

This blog has received some items in this post from Minted. All opinions are my own as well as layout and design choices.

One area I typically struggle with is filling up the wall space in my home. It’s not that I don’t know what I like once I see it, but finding the perfect item typically leaves me feeling frustrated. After taking over a year for all the pieces to fall into place for our bathroom remodel, I was left with a blank wall and only one idea.

Back in 2009 we took a family vacation to Destin and I hired a photographer to take some family photos and for some time I have entertained a canvas of our family jumping on the beach on this wall. Of course I could never decide how big it should be or what else might work along with it so this was the perfect opportunity to force a decision.

I headed to the Minted website and straight to the Minted Art section. If you have ever gone to search it can be super overwhelming as there are lots of options to choose from. Minted knows this decision is not easy for everyone and has filters such as style, shape, color to choose from. Since our family photo was on the beach I decided to take a chance and choose “beach” as the filter.

My eye just kept traveling back to the colorful abstract and I knew it would blend with the colors in our family photo. Adding to my cart was easy, but now to decide the size and frame.

Minted has that covered to. If you are a visual person like I am, this site definitely makes things so much easier to visualize the piece in your home. Not only can you choose from a wide selection of frames and see exactly how it will look with your piece, you also gain perspective on the size of the photo both held by a real person and on the wall of a room. As you change the size these photos also change. This was huge for me as I was able to measure my space and determine the sizing I needed.

Minted also has a home section with items such as this beautiful art shelf. I fell in love with the detailing and decided it would be the perfect addition to the gallery wall.

Starfish are a favorite of mine and I really loved the way this blue popped against the white. The Blue Star Fish piece from Minted worked perfectly with the other items.

Our family canvas was ordered from Photo Bucket and I love having this happy moment as one of the first things I see each day! My friend Holly found this “J” for me at our local Michaels and I picked up this topiary and succulent at Target to complete the look.

A finished look at the completed space. I love the way this turned out and so happy to have something besides the blank wall to look at each morning.

I am so happy with my first Minted experience. While the artwork was a little more expensive than I would have paid to pick up something at Hobby Lobby, the quality is also much higher. If you are looking to update a space and want a more professional look, I would definitely recommend working with Minted. The shipping was also very prompt and all the necessary tools I needed to hang these pieces was included. There was even a teeny little level which was so helpful.

Have you worked with Minted Art or Minted Home? Carly’s room is still needing a few finishing touches and I may be headed back to Minted Home for curtains.
