My client Jenny in Oklahoma is a photographer so she has an excellent eye and sense of style! She likes to stick to a fairly monochromatic palette in her home and i am loving how its turning out. She emailed me a few months back about her small entry… She had bought the black locker unit from somewhere like walmart.com and was looking for ideas to style it up.
I suggested the wooden boxes (bought unfinished at a kraft store and then painted with numbers) and a bucket for each member of the family…
We also knew we wanted to lean art against the wall on top of the piece but have already used so many of her wonderful photographs in the main living spaces, we wanted to do something different here. I suggested a map and she immediately thought of favorite family places to frame, including their honeymoon locale. Maps are a great thing to use for inexpensive art when you have used words and photos already..mixes it up. And of course we had to have silhouettes..perfect vertical spot for four larger square ones in a row!
Jenny used the design tutorial/idea for silhouettes from Jones Design Company.
She and I are a good match because we both REALLY love silhouettes (my husband says I have a sickness, wait till you see our tree)…well Jenny included some “Christmas decor” photos with her recent email to me and look at her new darling SILHOUETTE stockings…so cute..from etsy of course..click HERE to go to the seller. Silhouettes are so graphic and they really go with her family room so well…plus they are fun! (BTW I do have more photos of Jenny’s house and i will post soon)..
Her pretty tree . .
Love those Ikea AINA drapes..and her darling packages..already wrapped..not sure how she already has this done!???

Thought y’all might like to see inside Jenny’s home..thanks for letting us look Collier family!
Oh and if you are wondering about the vintage skates in the cabinet…their family owns a skating rink!
so, I clicked on your post link expecting to see a really fabulous room (as always!) and I am scrolling down and I was like… you know… that little girl silhouette looks really familiar… then I saw the stockings and I realized why it looked so familiar! I am excited to see her home! You did AWESOME work! Thanks so much for including the link to the stockings.

I cut those stocking silhouettes! They look great on the mantle. CJ ~ Vintage Junky
beautiful! that entryway is lovely; i’m going a bit neutral these days for a change, so I love seeing new ideas. The mantel, the tree and packages…i love it all!
i am so ready to attempt my first silhouettes; i haven’t had any success in getting my boys to sit still enough to take a profile picture; they think it’s hilarious so I end up with fuzzy funny faces. 🙂 i’m determined to get good ones soon!
Where did she find the amazing gift tags? They’re exactly what I’m looking for!
I love it all! The silhouettes on the books pages are perfect! And, you’ll laugh, I thought, I wonder if she made these like Emily? Haha! She did!!!!
Great work!
Beautiful! Love the silhouettes!
So beautiful!
NO way she found that at Walmart!!! I’m off to look now!! Thanks for the great inspiration!!
There is nothing better than a silhouette (or a monogram!) in my book!!
I reallllyy like you Christmas tree!! 🙂 So nice: beautiful work!
Such a cute entryway..love it. It looks like so organized. Great job!!! And her wrapping paper is adorable. I can’t believe she already has that done either…that’s impressive 🙂
girlfriend….this is already circulating around pinterest! love the silhouette stockings! presh!
That’s a great entryway. Such clever detail while at the same time clean and organized.
I love the clever gift wrapping, but no one should have that done already. I’m just happy that I’ve gotten some of my shopping done.
How fun – it’s the perfect home for a family. Not too fussy but you can tell that they pay attention to the details. I love all of the personal touches around the home and their tree is beautiful!! Thanks for the sneak peek and can’t wait to see more if that is a possibility. My Mom has a lot of items saved from her parents – and she even has maps and photos of her father over in North Africa and Italy in WW2. I’m hoping to get a few things framed to have in our home.
love it, holly!!! so fresh and playful, and personal. great work!
love this – its so creative! darling!
