Custom House Illustration

Celebrate Your First Home with a Hand-Drawn Treasure!

There’s something special about your first home. It’s where you make memories, grow into your space, and maybe even get a little creative with a DIY project or two (or three!). It’s where you finally settle in and feel like you belong. So why not honour this milestone with a custom-made portrait of the place that means so much?

Offering hand-drawn, urban sketch-style illustrations of your home—perfect for first-time homebuyers who want to capture the magic of their new space. These portraits are all about personality, charm, and celebrating the imperfections that make your house yours.

What’s Special About Our Custom House Illustrations?

Our portraits aren’t your average cookie-cutter prints. They’re lovingly hand-drawn with a little bit of “wobble” and a lot of heart. Each illustration has its own unique personality, just like your house. Think of the sketchy lines, the subtle shading, and the little uneven surfaces as part of the magic.

While sleek, polished, and perfectly symmetrical art has its place, we believe there’s beauty in the unexpected. Those little wobbles and quirky edges? They add a sense of warmth and authenticity that a digital, perfectly crisp image can’t quite capture. In fact, we think that’s what makes these portraits so perfect—the imperfections tell the true story of your home.

The Perfect Gift for First-Time Homebuyers

If you or someone you know is a first-time homebuyer, this custom portrait is the perfect way to celebrate the big achievement. Whether it’s a housewarming gift, a celebration of moving in, or just a special reminder of that first place you called your own, these illustrations make for a thoughtful and personal gesture.

But it doesn’t stop there—our custom portraits also work for any occasion! Birthdays, anniversaries, or even as a heartfelt way to commemorate a renovation or special moment in the life of a home. If a house holds a special place in your heart, we can turn it into art that you’ll cherish for years to come.
