Autumn Bliss
Read moreThis is for my AUTUMN lovers and COLOR lovers! A beautiful slate green brick house in the heart of The Museum District in Richmond, VA. Colorful leaves turning before the stoop, which offsets the painted green brick so nicely! Not to mention, the cute pup in the front door is a charming add! I could just be speaking for myself, but I am willing to bet he is just as…

A special touch for…

Tudor, Your Excellency
Read moreWe were asked to create a house portrait for the Metlar-Bodine House Museum as a silent auction item. The House Museum is a yellow Victorian with a stature to command its stately presence – it’s enormous, yet delicately displays its Queen Anne trim work. The winner of the auction won the original artwork [created by Monarch] of the House Museum AND won a complimentary made-to-order home portrait! The winners, The…

Tudor, Your Majesty
Read moreSettled in the thick wooden landscape of Raleigh, NC, this gorgeous home was sold by Ginger & Co at Keller Williams! The steep gabled rooflines and bold brown trim work along the facade is classic to the Tudor style of architecture. The original Tudor style is native to England in the Medieval 1500’s, with the born-again surge coming to America in the early 1900’s, known as Tudor Revival. Cathedral-like windows…

Pesky Possums
Read moreThis story is too good to not tell, and it is told best in Turner’s testimonial!

It’s a story of leadership, innocence, and paw patrol. I could not write this better myself, so I am going to leave the testimonial, the story, the legend, right here… Translation? There…

Home Sweet Camper
Read moreHome is where you park it! This home away from home is everything to this family. In the Smoky Mountains is where they’d rather be, and Monarch captured it perfectly with this home portrait. We had to make quite a few improvisations, like setting The Smokies in the background, posing the red Adirondack chair & umbrella, and adding in the family’s two sweet pups! Home comes in many shapes, forms,…
