History turned chic

“Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.”

They say that it is important to know where we came from in order to know where we are going. MIAKA happens to find truth in this statement. We did some research and shopping around, browsing through some old photos' from the 1900s' mostly.
The feeling you get while viewing, is a mixture of an interested mind, curious of what it was like to live in those days, a feeling of nostalgia , a bit uneasy knowing those people are not here on this earth anymore, warm at recollecting all that history... BUT , would you want to put those photos' in a frame on your wall? We wouldnt, what WE would do , is get those images perfectly printed onto stretch art canvas, give great depth to the frame as the image is wrapped around it and hang it in our home, office space, or give it as a gift, you name it. 

History is a part of us whether we like it or not, the great thing is that we can relive and display our history on our walls in a trendy and chic way! Check out some photos' we came across and envision them on canvas. stunning!

So, our point is, send us your photos' from the past that are so dear to you, and we will do the rest...with love

It's not you, It's the Decal

Having conversed with many interior designers lately, and scouting the web for all things pretty, we have officially fallen inlove with Decal! The concept is great, easy to apply, easy to remove, no mess, no fuss!

We have now decided to add Decals to our service, BUT what makes us different is the fact that you can design your own. Send us a design you just love, or ask our designer to create something for you, yes, we can do that for you!

Another GREAT thing about it, is it is incredibly cost effective!

Here are a few we love....
