[ diy silhouettes + giveaway reminder ]

I KNOW, silhouettes have been around for awhile but I just don't get tired of them.



I love the idea of creating your own silhouettes of your family to display, including Fido. If you want to try your hand at it, check out this great tutorial over at The Shabby Nest.


Happy weekend everyone and don't forget to enter my blogiversary giveaway by Sunday. I'll be back on Monday to announce the winner!

    oooo these are great! I love how silhouettes bring an antique feel to a room and still give a crisp and modern edge.

    I adore silhouettes and am currently having ones of me and my sister from when we were children framed to hang in my bedroom. Love all your images especially that fabulous office which I've been fawning over each time I see it!

    I like silhouettes, too, but have never done them. I really like Maureen's headboard project!

    What a really cool collection of images, Lisa. Thank you so much for putting them together.

    I don't think this'll ever go away - it's so classic.

    Have a lovely weekend, gorgeous girl.

    thanks for including us in this post! the room we designed that you featured is the homeowner's office...she'd previously had the silhouettes of her 4 children done and when were unpacking things for their newly renovated home we discovered them and decided her office would be the perfect place for them. we love them there and she gets to experience them everytime she sits down at her desk!

    I ordered a book
    on how to do these
    last fall and this
    reminds me that I
    need to pull it out!
    My mom is coming for
    a nice visit on the 14th
    and is much craftier
    than I am, so this
    project will be added
    to THE LIST that I
    want her to help me
    with. Thanks for
    these great images!

    Adore!! And especially when the styles are mixed and they are not too cute. Such timeless pieces and fun for the next generation as well.

    Happy new week to you, Lisa!

    There are different kinds of risk factors. Some factors, like a person's age or race, can't be changed. Others are linked to cancer-causing factors in the environment
