If you’ve ever wanted one of those watercolor portraits of your home or a home you once lived in or loved, well join my bandwagon! I have looked at them on Etsy around 1.2 billion times and thought about having someone paint one for me. For whatever reason, I’ve never bit the bullet but love the idea.

One day I decided to take a picture on my phone and turn it into a watercolor digitally and print it off in the world’s cheapest way ever!

First step, get a picture you love of your home or past home and edit it to the size you want with the color adjustments you want made.

Next, download the Waterlogue app for $4.99 and apply the watercolor effect of your choice to your picture. (The app icon is a whale with an umbrella, just so you know you have the right one.)

Last, upload your edited photo to Staples.com and print it off as a BLUEPRINT aka engineer print in color. You can print a large one for around 4 bucks! Yes, folks, you too can have a watercolor portrait of your home, or anything you want, for about 10 bucks! It gets the job done and works for me! While we are at it, it’s also an affordable and sentimental gift idea when framed. Just sayin’….

This is the same type of printing service I use for my parties like I did here.

Get you some watercolor prints, girl!

Pin, share, and enjoy!
