My birthday present off Scott was a Becka Griffin house portrait! How amazing is it? She creates bespoke portraits of houses, either in colour or black & white, from photos sent to her (she doesn't sit outside the house drawing like some people thought!) I love that ours is in colour because we have a lovely red door and green privet hedge that just wouldn't look the same in black and white. (I also love that she didn't draw in any of the dodgy cracks in the pointing or where the gutter is leaking a bit, looks like a perfect version of the house haha).
It's the perfect gift really, especially for my first birthday in our house and coming up to 1 year since we got the keys. She also does bespoke portraits of wedding venues which would make a perfect wedding gift.
This is SO cute! I'd love to have one done but as we are renting at the moment I think I'd wait til we buy our first place. I can imagine keeping it forever too as a reminder of our first house :)
