Silhouettes

I have no photos of myself up in my own flat (why would I?). But it narcissistic to have my own silhouette in my room? I’m loving silhouettes. Doing a spot of research to convince an editor he should let me write about them. And came across so many gorgeous ideas. I have a gap above my television, a space that’s marked on the “to fill” list, and I’m wondering whether a series of little silhouettes of family and friends might do the job – a picture wall of jumbled up frames and pretty side-poses.

I might give my own one a miss though. My nose is too big.

In the meantime, delight on this:
Nostalgic romance via Country Living



A modern twist via California Home Design


Would love to paper my bathroom in this (via Anthropologie)

Also, a big thank you to all readers – Her Little Place has been ranked number five in the UK’s top 10 design blogs. Thank you, especially since my posting has been irregular and lame of late with all the changes going on – but do come back for more, you’re always welcome.

    Beautiful silhouettes! It's not narcissistic at all to have one of yourself!

    My husband and I have a few photos of us together(a wedding photo, one from when we first got together etc), which makes me wonder if I am narcissistic?

  3. What an interesting post! Nice silhouettes!

    They're gorgeous – they look great when they're grouped together, although i'm not so keen on the modern twist, the vintage connotations that the traditional silhouettes give is what i find so inspirational about them.

    I've got a gap to fill on a wall in my bedroom – I think i've found just the thing for it!
