Post Update: 10/2026 – Ever since my Homeworthy house tour aired, I’ve been getting so many questions about my custom house portraits. So I thought it was the perfect time to revisit this post and give it a little refresh. I’ve added a few new finds, including the sweetest miniature framed house portraits and Christmas ornaments that would make such thoughtful gifts!
Every time I share this little hallway on Instagram, my DMs are flooded with questions about the custom house portraits I have hanging on this wall. I had these made a few years ago, and unfortunately, the local artist I used no longer offers custom artwork.
I’m such a big fan of letting the walls in your home tell your story, and I think custom house portraits are just so special. I did a little digging around, as I still want to have a portrait made of our current home, our seventh house, and I found a few artists online who are offering handmade custom pieces.
There are quite a few Etsy shops that offer digital, computer-generated portraits, but I prefer those that are made by hand. Original custom pieces are a little pricier, but they are truly treasures that will become heirloom pieces one day.
All of the following artists offer beautiful, handmade, custom house portraits, each with their own unique style.
1. Stacy Zeledon Studio – Stacy offers house-only or full-scene hand-painted watercolor portraits in a range of sizes with a matting option.
2. Megan Bakke of Every Thread – Megan offers custom house ink drawings as well as watercolor paintings. And she offers them in a nice variety of sizes with framing options. In addition to house portraits, she does custom wedding artwork as well.
3. Portraithy Art – This group of artists offers custom oil paintings made from any picture. And they’ll do them in an incredibly wide range of sizes from as small as 8 x 10 inches to as large as 48 x 55 inches. Look how amazing this piece below turned out!
This is the picture.
This is the painting!
4. Anitra Edney Art – Anitra creates hand-drawn pen and ink custom house doodles, and her work is so charming and affordable. She offers a variety of sizes and framing options.
But what really caught my eye are her miniature framed house portrait Christmas ornaments.
I mean, how darling is the idea of having a tiny portrait of your home hanging on your Christmas tree?! Especially your first home, a childhood home, or a house filled with special memories. It’s the kind of sentimental Christmas ornament you’ll look forward to pulling out year after year. And such a thoughtful gift for someone who’s just moved into a new home!
5. Jordan Tillman Designs – Jordan offers hand-painted watercolor house portraits in 3 size options.
Bonus – In addition to the larger portraits, I found these adorable mini watercolor house paintings by Selene Mota Art Studio. They’re perfect for a little spot on a bookshelf, tucked into a gallery wall, or styled on a nightstand.
A home is so much more than four walls. It’s the memories made inside. And I love the idea of turning those memories into pieces of art that can be treasured for years to come.
My house portraits are some of my favorite pieces of art in our home! They make me smile and bring back so many wonderful memories.
Good morning Carmel! Although the color paintings are pretty but so differnent than what you already have. I think I would stay with the black and white pictures. You may want to hang thiem differently one day and they will all go together.
