Housewarming gifts

Their new house, painted

Upload a photo, say how you’d like it painted, and see the result in about a minute. Then hang it: a framed canvas that arrives ready to hang, a canvas, a framed poster, or a print you frame yourself.

You see it before you buy it. Generating the painting and previewing it on a wall are free, with no account. If the likeness isn’t right, describe it differently and go again — also free. Nothing here is bought sight-unseen.

Prints run $19 to $349 depending on format and size, with free US shipping. Or take just the high-resolution file for $4.99.

About the photo you upload

It is used to create your piece and nothing else. We never display it, publish it, or sell it, and it never appears anywhere on this site — none of the examples below is a customer’s photo. If you’d like it deleted, email hello@vistelastudio.com and we’ll remove it.

From customers

The whole process was really smooth, and the quality of the print and frame is awesome. I gave it to my mentor, and it’s already sitting on his desk.

The canvas looks good, captured key elements while providing the canvas painting look.

How it works

Step 1

Upload the photo

A wide, straight-on daylight photo of the house, with the whole building in frame.

Step 2

Say how you want it painted

In plain words: an oil painting, a soft watercolour, an ink drawing. You can ask for something left out — a parked car, a bin.

Step 3

See it before you decide

The painting takes about a minute, and previewing it on a real wall costs nothing. If it isn't right, describe it differently and go again.

Step 4

Frame it, or keep the file

Order a framed canvas that arrives ready to hang, a canvas, a framed poster or a poster — or take the high-resolution file and print it wherever you like.

Which photo to use

The house itself

A wide, straight-on shot in even light. Overcast is kinder than bright midday sun and heavy shadow.

The house they just left

A first home, or the one they grew up in, given as they move into the next.

Not a house at all

A favourite place, a pet, a photo from the move — a housewarming piece does not have to be the building.

Shipped straight to them

Checkout takes their US address directly, and a gift note is printed on the packing slip with no prices on it.

Questions

Should I paint the house, or something from inside their life?

Either. A painting of the house itself is the obvious choice for a housewarming, and a wide photo of the front elevation works best. A favourite place, a pet, or a photo from the move works just as well.

What photo of a house works best?

A wide, straight-on daylight photo with the whole building in frame. Bright midday sun and heavy shadow are the two things that cause trouble; overcast light is usually kinder.

Can you remove something from the photo?

Usually, yes. Ask in plain words — “leave out the parked car” — and it follows. And you see the result free before you pay, so you can check rather than hope.

Can it ship straight to them?

Yes. Checkout collects the shipping address directly. Tick “This is a gift” and your note is printed on the packing slip; no prices appear on it either way.

What happens to the photo I upload?

It's used to create your piece and nothing else — never displayed, published, or sold. Email hello@vistelastudio.com to have it deleted.

Is the artwork AI-generated?

Yes — digitally created from your photo and professionally printed, not hand-painted. We say so everywhere we sell.
