Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a blog party I host at the end of each week to celebrate the things that make us happy. This week I’m hooked on house portraits. You may have seen this photo of the old stucco-and-stone house I grew up in that I have on my “About” page. It was the first house I fell in love with. (Look closely and you’ll see me opening the front door and my little brother toddling up the driveway.)
The house probably doesn’t look like much to you, and I have to laugh at the state of the yard, but it was a wonderful place to grow up. I keep this photo on the wall in my kitchen just because it makes me happy. So you can imagine how over-the-moon thrilled I was when the talented artist Fifi Flowers sent me this painting. I love it!
Now the Good News for YOU:
Fifi Flowers has agreed to paint a portrait like this for one of my lucky readers. That’s right–if you win, she will paint a house for you on 6″ x 7″ archival paper–a $150 value (you can upgrade to a larger size for a slight fee). You may want her to paint your current home, your childhood home, or someone else’s to give as a gift. We had my in-laws’ home painted as a Christmas gift one year and they loved it.
To enter, simply leave a comment on this post before midnight Monday (May 11). Want an extra entry? Visit Fifi’s Etsy shop, look around, and then leave a second comment telling me what your favorite painting of hers is. I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, so stay tuned!
Now it’s your turn to tell us what you’re hooked on. If you have something to share with us on your blog, then add your link below. Just please be sure to:
- Add the permalink to the specific blog post, not your general blog address.
- You can put what you’re hooked on in parentheses after your blog name. You’ll probably get more visitors that way! Ex: Hookedonhouses (Not So Big Houses)
- Link back to the party from your post so that your readers can come and see what everyone else is talking about today!
- Visit as many of the other participants as possible and leave comments! That’s what a blog party is all about!
- Double-check to make sure your link works and goes to the right page so it doesn’t get deleted! If you come back and see your link is gone, re-read these rules and try again.

Fifi is an amazing artist! I would love to win the portrait and I would probably choose my parent’s house. My dad built it and my mom decorated it-so many happy memories. I hope I have a picture somewhere just in case. : )
What a fun giveaway. I think I’d have her paint my grandparent’s house. 🙂
Amy @ Finer Things’s last blog post..Finer Things Friday: I Blame My Mother
I think the house you grew up in is quite charming 🙂 And Fifi did a great job painting a picture of it for you!! Definitely a piece to cherish forever 🙂

DesignTies’s last blog post..Grab your swimsuit, it’s a pool party!!
Wow that is really pretty! What a great house to grow up in. I’ve lived in a lot of houses, but maybe my husband would love his childhood home painted. Looking forward to her Etsy store!
That Fifi….she’s amazingly talented! Your house is very charming, I love the stacked chimney! I would so love to have an original painting from her…count me in PLEASE!
Have a wonderful weekend Julia,

What a wonderful thing to be hooked on this week Julia! Fifi’s house paintings are so joyful. She created a wonderful rendition of your sweet childhood cottage. If I were lucky enough to win I would be thrilled with a painting of my childhood home – event hough it was not a cottage like yours – mine was a 1975 wannabe spanish/ranch tract home – but I loved it as if it were the finest mansion! Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway…I am off to browse through Fifi’s lovely work.

Puna’s last blog post..Do You Have 2.5 Million Dollars?
This is the best giveaway – art about our own home, a place we love. Now off to Etsy.
FiFi has some GREAT stuff!!
I love her “Cafe de France” painting 🙂
Checked out Fifi’s store…love “French Wine and Bread”…as my 3 year old would say: “Mmmm, my favorite!”
Hmm…I might just have to skip paying for groceries and buy Stolen Kisses!
Mrs. Petrie’s last blog post..Show Some Love- Send a Care Package
Julia – I couldn’t pick just one painting everything was so fun! I adore both the Bicycle and French Cafe note cards. Do you know if Fifi paints anything with a seaside theme or is her work strictly French inspired? Thanks again and Happy Mother’s Day!!
Christy’s last blog post..A Picture of Motherhood…
OK, I’m a guy and the Hip Chick Collection is irresistible, as are all chicks – Fifi’s word, not mine. Have a look:

Fifi paints just about everything! I featured a beach house that she painted over on my other blog if you want to see it: https://beachcottagelove.blogspot.com/2009/04/fifis-pink-cottage-on-beach.html
I just love her work! -Julia 🙂
That portrait is so sweet! What a great idea for a giveaway! And by the way, I think your home growing up is very pretty – didn’t even notice the yard…;)
Peacock Blue’s last blog post..I Really Heart Peacocks….
Ok, Fifi’s paintings are soooo cute! I love the one called “On the Beach at Cote d’Azur”. It reminds me of Old Hollywood with the swimming cap and vintage swim suit! Her little dog painting (on her blog) is super cute too! Talent, talent, talent!
Peacock Blue’s last blog post..I Really Heart Peacocks….
Yeah, I see you and your brother…

I think it is so special that you have a photo of the house you grew up in. So many people are not fortunate enough to have that. Fifi did a great job painting it too!
Fifi is amazing!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!
Fifi Flowers’s last blog post..Yearly Fashionable Home Tour…
I’m always taken in by Fifi’s paintings – love them – they feed my desire to travel to Paris!! And I can’t tell you how excited I’d be to have a little portrait of my equally little house (once it’s freshly painted of course… a summer project!)!! Please enter me twice for this draw, Julia… it was hard to choose, but I’m loving the colours and whimsy of “Brasserie des Arts”.
Thanks for this opportunity!!
Victoria
Victoria @ DesignTies’s last blog post..Grab your swimsuit, it’s a pool party!!
Love it! What a treasure it would be to pass on a picture of the house my kids grew up in. Thanks for the chance. Very talented artist!
Swoooon! I am just bonkers for Fifi’s work! I featured her on my blog just the other day too! I am a bicycle nut. All of her ‘velo’ are pure eye candy in my book!
Marie Isabelle’s last blog post..Gone Fishin’ – Postcard Friendship Friday

My favorite is On the Beach at Cote d’Azur.
Pam’s last blog post..Huge Mother’s Day Giveaway
Having a portrait of ones childhood home would be most comforting thing, don’t you think?
At the moment, I like Pink Chairs in Paris the best. If I can’t get to Paris, having a Fifi Flowers painting will do just fine 🙂
mannequin’s last blog post..Kitty Bo
What a great idea..a portrait of your home. Everytime you look at that painting you will be reminded of your childhood. Something we yearn for as we grow older.
Pink Chairs in Paris is my favorite!
Caroline’s last blog post..Still workin on some projects..
Just what I love today, color. That is Fifi’s specialty
Pam’s last blog post..I am Hooked on Color
What a wonderful give-a-way! The painting of your house looks fun and happy!
Eileen@Star’sFault’s last blog post..Hooked on Garden Tags ~
Neat giveaway!!! I’m not sure I’d want a picture of my current home, but I can think of one or two I’d like preserved in a painting. 🙂
Amanda @ Serenity Now’s last blog post..What’s the Deal with…
This is a great giveaway! I would love to have a picture of my childhood home. Or maybe our farm here that we are about to sell. Hard to say. But I’d love to win!
BTW, I love your blog so much. It’s a perfect escape for me, a place to come for fun and beauty. Thanks for all you do.
Alpaca Farmgirl’s last blog post..Finally A Daughter!
My favorite of Fifi’s paintings is Berry Cushions with a view, though I also really like Pink Chairs in Paris! Her work is lovely.
Alpaca Farmgirl’s last blog post..Fiber Arts Friday
Wow, that is so cool! I can just imagine opening the mail and finding a portrait of my favorite house. What a great day that must have been! Hopefully I get to experience that, too. Pick me, pick me! 🙂
Jenelle’s last blog post..Greetings!
Fifi’s paintings are fabulous – I would love to be entered!

Michelle’s last blog post..Two Years…
I love the painting of your childhood home. How special! Hope I win!
What a great giveaway. Her painting of your childhood home is beautiful.
My favorite is the French Wine and Bread.
Comment #1 – I’d love this!
Comment #2 – I love the Garden Chair painting the best.
How cool is this! I would love to win this. I have been wanting a painting of my current home for the past three years I’ve lived here. This is the first house I’ve owned that I actually love the exterior. I even have a wall that I’ve set aside for my house painting to go, no kidding!
okay…My favorite was “Aux Provences Brasserie”
This is enormously kind of Fifi – what a great gift idea too. Since the little nook I owned in the UK was such a strange shape, I guess I would ask her to paint our “oops-bought-at-the-top-of-the-market” California home. 😉
Struggler’s last blog post..Friday challenge: dare you count your clothes?
Here’s Comment #1. Pick me! I have long coveted FiFi’s house paintings. I love our home and this would be an amazing thing to have.
Lazy Mom Leslie’s last blog post..Time to Vote
This is great. I’d love to win. My parents will soon be moving from my childhood home; they have been there for over 50 years. They are getting up there in years, and it is tough for them to deal with the upkeep, and the stairs are becoming difficult for my mother. This would be great for them to have as a reminder of all those wonderful years spent there.
Here’s Comment #2. I like the French Wine and Bread and the Wine and Roses in Paris. What can I say? I’m a wine girl!
Lazy Mom Leslie’s last blog post..Time to Vote
If two comments raises my chances to win, three must cerainly be a good thing.
Thanks for the opportunity, Fifi and Julia! I know just the place to hang this when I win.
carson’s last blog post..Skywatch, in the dust at dusk
Here’s my second comment. I was drawn to “Painter’s Cafe” and “On the Street with Eiffel”. Lovely.
I love Fifi’s work. How wonderful it would be to win a truly wonderful keepsake!!
Deb Milne’s last blog post..Fabulosity Revisited
We’re almost done building a sort of Craftsman style home, which would look great as a painting! Great gift idea, too.
And my favorite painting of hers is Cafe de France because of the bright colors, and it reminds me of our trip to Paris. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
What a wonderful giveaway! I enjoy following your blog.
I love Fifi’s paintings!! It would be so nice to get a painting of our house.
My favorite of Fifi’s painting are the 3 hanging in our bathroom of Paris! (Fifi Appearing at the Moulin Rouge, Le Consulat Rendezvous, and Notre Dame Embrace that I framed with a cream mat with a little red mat in a black frame) But of her newest ones I love the Aux Provences Brasserie and Pont Neuf Apartment.
ooooh, I love this idea. My husband and I just bought a house and it would be so cool to have this lasting memory of the first home we bought together.
Carly’s last blog post..the hustons
Fifi’s paintings are so fun that it would be so hard to choose which house to have her paint.
Laura Ingalls Gunn’s last blog post..Apron Strings
Fifi is an amazing artist, everything she does is so colorful. She painted a photo I had taken of some peonies from my mom’s garden, and now the painting is hanging in a bedroom somewhere in Paris! I would love for her to paint the victorian apartment building I live in in Hartford, and one of my favorite paintings of hers is no longer available – Marie Antoinette lounging on a chaise. But of her current collection I love On The Street With Eiffel.
Robin’s last blog post..They’re "sensible" if they make sense to me…
I love the painting of your house…she did a great job!

I really like the Pont Neuf Apartment painting. 🙂 I love Paris.
Sarah’s last blog post..Ohmygosh! New neighbors!!
What a great giveaway I would definately have one of my grandparents houses painted, good memories at both. I love the house you grew up in.
Blakely’s last blog post..Kandi’s Dress Almost
I’d love a painting of my grandmother’s house which no longer exists. I’d have to search some old photos for it. It has the best memories for me and most of my family.
Super fun giveaway! And wow, the competition is fierce! I just love fifi’s work… her favorite piece from her etsy shop, hands down is the Eiffel Tower peaking through the gardens! Love it!
jill’s last blog post..ETSY shop giveaway!!!
That house is so cute and the portrait is just perfect. I love house portraits!
from the right bank’s last blog post..Talk About An Inspiring Workspace
Would make a great Mom’s Day present!
This is such a fun idea. I would love to have a portrait of my house! Now I need to go check out her website.
What a fantastic portait! I would have my current house done, then hang it in my family room.
Its hard to choose a favorite from the Etsy shop. So many great ones. I love Stolen Kiss or the Hip Chick collection. But my favorite would be the Pont Neuf Apartment.
She truly has a gift of recreating real life and making it look so whimsical. I love the house it is so great!
Angela @ Imaginecozy’s last blog post..What to put on the table?
I need to win that painting!
My favorite fifi painting is Garden Chair
I would have to say my favorite is Brasserie des Arts. I love the red!

Kirsten’s last blog post..An Obituary
oh, and my favorite on her Etsy site is the Goldfish Luncheon. So fresh, but echoes Matisse at the same time. I’m booking my flight into Marseilles this minute.
Kirsten’s last blog post..An Obituary
She is an AWESOME Artist. I would have her paint our house now. My favorite of all.
Fun! How cool that she did that!
I checked her Etsy shop and I love Fifis PINK CHAIRS IN PARIS.
Cris’s last blog post..ATC’s Came from Lisa today
From Fifi? Hmmmm . . . if I’s selfish, Wine and Roses . . . if I’m generous and get something for my daughter, Stolen Pink Car!
my favorite of Fifis etsy shop is Sud de la France Hotel Room
Love it!
OMG I would LOVE to win this drawing! It will be cherished!
I would have to say my own house that we are living in right now. It is a 1910 white farmhouse and I take its picture all of the time. Would love to have one done by Fifi.
I love Fifi’s work and the stone chimney in her painting above is so awesome – it has movement and character. It’s a happy painting for a much loved childhood home. Perfect!
Jane @ Beach House’s last blog post..Beach Walk
My favorite Fifi print? Stolen Pink Car. It appeals to my bad side.
Jane @ Beach House’s last blog post..Beach Walk

Fifi has such a whimsical style. Her paintings are eye candy! My favorite one was Aux Provences Brasserie.
What a wonderful job she did in capturing the feel of the house! That would make an excellent gift.
Nancy’s last blog post..Spring Cleaning – Before & After – Join In

It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but I’ve been eyeing her bicycle series for a while now. I have this daydream of riding a beautiful bicycle with a basket on the front filled with flowers.
Kimba @ A Soft Place to Land’s last blog post..Linky Love ~ The Friday Edition
I would adore a “Fifi”- I love the sense of whimsey!

Love these paintings. What a great gift idea thanks for introducing us!
OK I revisited and my favorite is “stolen pink car”.
I’d love to give this as a gift to my brother and sister-in-law. They bought a charming, little house in a great neighborhood when they first got married and have done little, DIY fixes here and there while they wait for the market to turn around. Some day, they hope to add onto it amd I think it’d be sweet to capture it’s current look for them to have too look back at.
I think I forgot to comment before. So glad, I came bck to check out the newer entries. Plus, I certainly love a chance at winning a fabulous painting by Fifi.

What a great house portrait! I’d love to have one of our home.
For her Etsy work, either Pink Trees in Paris or The Stolen Pink Car!
Oh, I would definitely want a portrait of the house I have lived in for the past 19 years. It’s where I have had the happiest moments with my husband and 3 sons. Thanks, Joanne ~~ glamourgirljoanne@yahoo.colm
Love Fifi’s work! I’d love a painting of my home. It is our first home, and my husband and I are busy renovating and redecorating to make it special.
What a fun picture. A great way to capture your favorite house.

I’ll vote for Stolen Pink Car as the favorite!!

I’m enamored with Fifi’s Garden Chair painting. I’m obsessed with chairs and this painting is so lovely!
What a lovely idea!
I like Garden Chair!
No wonder you were so thrilled with your house painting…it is fabulous.
My favorite painting of FiFi’s is probably the latest one she has blogged about..looking out the window above the desk to a bright blue sky.

Oh how I would love to win one of Fifi’s paintings. I went to her Etsy shop so i would have a second chance and I like the painting of the rooster against the black and white check background. Your childhood home is charming.

What a simply perfect idea.
What an adorable picture! I was just introduced to your site last week by a firend and have to say I love it! Thanks for sharing all of the great house pictures.
My mom painted our first home for us and gave it to us as an anniversary gift–it’s a treasure we’ll have forever! However, we’ve made so many improvements that I would LOVE to have a new version. 😉
My second entry:
My favorite painting is Pink Trees in Paris–perfect for a little girl’s room! (Would go great with my pink toile miniature wingback chair.)
Aahhh!!! I sure would love to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
