Where can I buy lovely/not tacky wall canvases for my ds bedroom

His room is blue, red and navy with a train and nautical theme so wanted 2-3 small wall canvases but all the ones Ive seen are tacky or a little babyish for him - any suggestions

This might not appeal and I don't know if you were talking about just painted canvas but I'm going to make my own. I was about to buy one but my mother, who is heavily into card making informed me that places like Hobbycraft are full to bursting with lovely things to stick on a painted canvas.

I dont have the time plus Im not that artistic!!!

Thanks for the idea anyway

there was a thread on here a month or so ago - might be worth searching. they were great for kids rooms. not much help sorry.

You can get canvases or prints of old ladybird books, the smallest is A4 so that might suit? There are some lovely ones of old cars, look under the transport heading.
I like the one of the old dear hoovering the train seats in "On the Railways" .

cute

this?

www.oblong.org do some great canvases, and donate some of the profits to charity.

They might be a bit grown-up / expensive for what you're after though

Take three photos of him - one each in a red, blue, navy top then get them printed onto canvas by Truprint or someone like that!
