Hi Friends,
I want to share a special project I've been working on with you.
I was hoping to have it a little further along before I really shared it, but I just can't wait.
This project is already very dear to my heart.

I am making customized miniature model homes based on real houses.
The new line is called Homage Homes. (Thank you to my friend, Veronica, who came up with the perfect name for it.)
I have a few already in the works, but only one is completed.

This one is a model of my grandparents home in Saskatoon, where they have lived for a very long time. I remember many fond visits there.
This model house is a gift for them - Oops, I guess the cat's out of the bag!! - which I will send soon (after my upcoming event in Toronto).

I am taking commissions for these - Commemorate your home with a custom miniature house - It could be your current home, the house you grew up in, or even your dream home!

Homage Homes make great gifts. They would be great gifts for a housewarming (Celebrating a new home!), moving and/or downsizing (Remembering an old home!) and anniversaries (Commemorating a current home/life together!)

You can choose all of the options, from the surface type and colour (brick, siding, stucco, stone), to the window options (flat/painted, transparent, curtain treatments, printed images). They can even be lightboxes! (We all know how much I love making lightboxes.)

I also wanted to mention that I've set up a special Instagram account just for this project. Follow @homagehomes to see more about this project.
As always, I'd love to hear your comments. Or send me pictures of cool houses. Whatever you like. :)
Always trying to build home,
Love and art,
Jen
