Three weeks ago, DH and I were at a local Farmer's Market and there was a guy selling metal prints of scenes from CA ~ mostly landscapes from Lake Tahoe. They were just beautiful so we were thinking of getting 3 for a grouping on our family room wall. They were going to cost over $800. We decided to wait.
When we got home I told DH that we could pick 3 of our favorite photos from Italy and get metal prints from Costco. It took us a while to pick just 3 but the largest of them came today and it is beautiful ~ it was $99! Two smaller ones should be here tomorrow and they were $69 each. These prints mean SO much more to us than the ones that man was selling.
Once we have them on the wall, I'll post a picture.

Neat! We’re leaving CA and that might be a lovely parting gift from me to me.

How do you hang them? Do they come with hooks or ?

How do you hang them? Do they come with hooks or ? They have a frame on the back of the metal and a bar to attach to the wall. The frame has a *lip* and it attaches to the bar. Hope that makes sense! |

We love the 3 metal pictures we bought from Costco. It was the perfect medium for my husband’s photos of palm trees on a stormy day.

I bought this canvas print from Costco. It was a picture I took in Spain with my cell phone. I was amazed at how great it turned out. It looks better on the wall than in this picture. But for these Italy photos, we knew metal would be better.  |

We got the other two prints today and are so happy with them! I can't wait to get them on the wall but wanted to share here immediately! If you've ever wanted to order them but hesitated, don't wait! They are much glossier than the picture looks.  |

Really nice! What size are they? You took these just with your phone? Yes, my Samsung S7 which is about 4 years old. The large one is 20x30 and cost $93.99 and the two smaller ones are 16x24 and cost $63.99 each. They sell one larger size that is 24x26 and cost $119.99. They are delivered in 5-7 business days. |

Beautiful photos! I have a thing for doorways, so that is my favorite. Although the others are right up there too.

Wow, these are amazing. I always wondered what the finished product would look like. I think I'll find some nice shots we took in Europe and order some. Where were these taken in Italy?

Where were these taken in Italy? You really should order some! The picture with the boats was taken in Lenno Town on Lake Como, the door was taken in Pienza and the view to the water was taken in Positano. |

I'll vouch for the Costco metal prints. DS#4 ordered a large one as a wedding gift for DS#3 2 years ago--the quality of the print, metal, and hanger on the back were very good, for a reasonable price.
