Did you know I have a blogroll at the bottom of the home page?  I do and it’s filled with my most favorite blogs, including Yellow Brick Home.  Kim and Scott have created a fun, vibrant home filled with personal touches.  Even better, Yellow Brick Home also offers a way to bring a touch of their style into your own home with their custom pet paintings.  Seriously, how darn cute are their paintings?  I just had to have one for myself, so I contacted Kim.  I sent her this photo and my ideas.

I wanted a blue-ish green background and possibly a thought bubble with a bone or something in it, depending on what Kim thought looked best.  I was so excited when she sent an e-mail telling me my painting was (already!) done.  Later that afternoon, she sent this picture of the finished design.

I knew whatever Kim made would be cute, but this was beyond my expectations.  It made me even more excited to get my painting.  Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long.  I received it two days later!  I opened up the package to find a beautifully coördinated package.

Even the YBH stationery and business cards are cute!  After opening the tissue, I found this:

I love the attention to detail, too.  Check out the shading on Jack’s face.

And the thought bubble and dog bone are equally cute.

When we released our Modern Portrait print line, I decided to switch up the artwork on my office bookshelves.  I had a geometric cut out set.

When I ordered my painting, I knew right where I would display it.  Right next to the rest of our family.  Oh, here’s a cool feature; all YBH paintings are created on a 4 inch square by 3/4 inches thick canvas, requiring no frame!

I love the pop of color against the black and white portraits.  I think Jack is pretty happy, too, even if she looks unimpressed.

Thanks again, Kim and Scott.  Our entire family loves this custom little painting of Jackie.  It’s prefect!
