As you all know, I love receiving catalogs, especially as the seasons change. It’s fun to see what new ideas all my favorites stores have in mind and I love this image from Pottery Barn. This display is perfect for random little hallways in your home that are between rooms or for the foyer!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Monday! I thought I’d brighten up the Monday blues with some frame/decor inspiration from Real Simple magazine. I love this look…modern and classic, yet different and simple!

Happy Monday everyone! This past weekend I was perusing through Decor Pad again (shocking, I know!) and I came across this lovely home office. Not only do I love the colors of the room, but I love, love, love the huge black frames with gorgeous matted black and white prints. As I always say, don’t be afraid to go big! It’s dramatic!

Happy Thursday everyone! I was browsing my favorite website this morning and came across this fun image on DecorPad. I love how the landing on this stairway has been dressed up and dramatic, yet not cluttered. Some people are scared to try new things, especially on stairways, because what if it looks odd or has been measured wrong and the images are of out of line? If you purchase a premium session with Whitney Elizabeth Portraiture, you don’t have to worry about that because we measure and hang your family artwork for you…takes all the guesswork and well, work, out of it! ;)

Isn’t this pretty!?

I’ve been spending the week in Ocean Isle, NC vacationing with my family and I am bummed that the week is almost over, but so excited that I was able to fly out here to see everyone and spend time with my family sitting on the beach :)

As you know, I am a huge fan of DecorPad and I just love this contemporary frame setup–perfect for an office, sitting room or even breakfast nook with family images…enjoy!

In most homes, no matter how hard you try, there’s going to be a room where everything centers around the TV. However, I love this look from Pottery Barn…you can still enjoy entertainment and display a series of great family photos!

Happy weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! I’m enjoying this morning with my dog Bear and then I’m headed North for a ordering session this evening…hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

I wanted to quickly share this super-cool-fun-mod-hip room with frame inspiration from DecorPad…enjoy!

I hope everyone enjoyed some time off during the holiday this past weekend…I know I did! I enjoyed browsing through magazines and catalogs and catching up on reading. I saw this little tidbit of inspiration while flipping through my Pottery Barn catalog. I love this look because it can encompass some of your favorite images from your recent photo session without taking up too much wall space…perfect for sunrooms or living areas that have little wall space…enjoy!

After weeks of letting matted frames collect dust in my guest bedroom, I finally made time to hang some new frames around the bathroom door of our upstairs landing…what do you think??

Happy Thursday!

a new spin on gift prints {santa barbara baby photography}

whitney — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:36:38 +0000

Here at Whitney Elizabeth Portraiture, we offer several different sized prints, including gift prints, which are 8×10 and smaller. These sizes are usually reserved for office desks and family gifts but I love this design*sponge image below which creates a new spin on gift prints…fun to frame for super small wall spaces.

Happy Wednesday!
