i’m still really a fan of the fun idea of portrait paintings popping up in unexpected places. i saw emily tweet about it last week and i really trust her taste, so there’s that. and then i realized that i had pinned a ton more images lately with this vintage vibe to share with you. i used to have a whole collection on my walls and then i needed a change, but i do like the notion of a surprise portrait here and there. they’re always conversation starters for one thing, and i just like the sense of humor they evoke. my dad always used to ask me “but who are these people?” and that just cracked me up — so I made up stories and family histories for all my portraits. just another way to add personality (literally) to your collections.

Such a great idea to have a variety of faces at home. It makes me think I am not the centre of the universe.

Gorgeous portrait paintings!
Once again a wonderful morning mix here in Australia – good coffee – and fantastic reading on sfgirlbybay.com – Congratulations!
I’m just not a fan of portraits in the home. They seem eerily maccabe to me. I much prefer painted fruit.
I loooove portraits and make up names to go along with them. I have them everywhere in the house, just not the bedroom; for some reason that feels odd ;-) Great post!
