Custom Wooden Home Replica from Your Photo

From Photo to Keepsake

Each LittleHomeReplicas™ piece begins with your photo and is recreated to closely reflect what you see in the image. The perspective, composition, and visible details in your photo guide the final result, so the finished replica feels immediately familiar and true to the original scene.

Rather than redrawing the structure from scratch, your photo is carefully prepared and refined into a custom design that preserves its character while translating it into our signature layered wooden style.

Crafted with Precision, Refined by Hand

Every design is individually adjusted by hand to ensure balance, depth, and clarity before production. Fine details are selectively enhanced, simplified, or cleaned up as needed so the final piece works beautifully as a physical object — not just an image on a screen.

Visible elements in your photo, such as landscaping, vehicles, or surrounding details, are typically included as they appear and become part of the finished composition.

Once finalized, the design is brought to life through layered wood construction and assembled by hand in our Florida studio, creating a dimensional keepsake designed for display.

A Thoughtful, Intentional Process

Because each replica is created directly from your photo and individually refined, we typically do not provide proofs before production. This allows us to focus on craftsmanship while ensuring the finished piece faithfully reflects the image you selected.

If you love your photo, you’ll love your replica.

Each piece is made to order with care and intention — resulting in a meaningful keepsake that preserves a real place, just as you remember it.

Size & Dimensions

Each replica is offered in two size options:

• Small: approximately 4.5 inches on the longest edge
• Large: approximately 5.5 inches on the longest edge

All replicas are approximately 5/8 (0.625) inch thick, creating a sturdy, dimensional profile. The shorter edge will vary depending on the shape and proportions of the building shown in your photo.

Because each piece is custom-made from a unique image, dimensions may vary slightly.

Materials & Construction

• Crafted from layered birch wood
• Precision cut and engraved by laser
• Hand-sanded for a smooth, refined feel
• Assembled and bonded using non-toxic adhesive

Each replica is built layer by layer to create depth, texture, and a sculptural presence designed for display.

Finish & Appearance

Replicas are intentionally left unsealed and unfinished, giving them a natural, classic wood appearance reminiscent of traditional woodworking and heirloom objects.

This uncoated finish:

• Highlights the natural beauty of the wood
• Avoids chemical coatings or odors
• Allows for optional personalization by the owner

If desired, customers may choose to seal, finish, or paint their replica themselves after delivery.

Display & Placement

These pieces are sized to display easily in a variety of settings, including shelves, desks, mantles, and window or door trim. The flat back and 5/8-inch depth allow the replica to rest securely on most surfaces.

If displaying in a narrow or elevated location, a small amount of removable tack or museum putty may be used to prevent tipping.

Care Instructions

To keep your replica looking its best:

• Handle with clean, dry hands
• Keep away from water, moisture, heat, and open flame
• Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, duster, or compressed air as needed

In the rare event of surface discoloration, a very fine-grit sandpaper (500 grit or higher) may be used lightly and carefully to refresh the area. Take care around fine details when sanding.

With normal indoor display and care, your replica is designed to maintain its appearance over time.

Production Time

Each replica is handcrafted to order.

• Production time: approximately 4–10 business days
• Timing may vary slightly based on the complexity of the photo and current order volume, especially during peak seasons and holidays.

We work through orders carefully and intentionally — these pieces are never rushed.

Shipping

Orders ship from Florida via USPS.

• Standard shipping: USPS Ground Advantage (typically 2–6 business days within the U.S.)
• Expedited shipping options may be available at checkout

Please note: upgrading shipping speed affects transit time only and does not shorten production time.

Tracking information is provided once your order ships.

Ordering & What Happens Next

After you place your order:

1. Your photo is reviewed to ensure it meets the requirements for production
2. If everything looks good, your replica moves into design and production
3. The piece is cut, assembled, sanded, packaged, and prepared for shipment

You’ll typically only hear from us if there’s a question or an issue with the photo. Otherwise, we’ll get to work and notify you when your order ships.

Photo Review & Requirements

Your replica is created directly from the photo you provide, so image quality matters.

For best results, please upload a photo that:

• Clearly shows the full home or building
• Is well lit, with minimal shadows
• Is an original phone or camera photo (not a screenshot, wide-angle, or heavily edited image)
• Has sufficient resolution to capture details

Photos that are heavily filtered, cropped too tightly, or too low in resolution may not produce the best results.

If you place an order and your photo isn’t workable, we’ll reach out by email to see if another image is available. We’re always happy to review multiple photos and help you choose the best option. If no suitable photo can be found, your order will be canceled and fully refunded before production begins.

Not sure if your image will work?

You’re welcome to contact us before ordering — we’re happy to review your photo and help.

Cancellations & Returns

Because each replica is custom-made — and may include personalized engraving — returns are not accepted.

Orders may be canceled within 12 hours of purchase, as long as production has not yet begun.

If you have questions or concerns about your order, please reach out. We’re always happy to help.

Delivery Issues

Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. We are not responsible for delays or delivery issues caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses.

In the rare event that a package is lost in transit, we’ll work with you and the carrier to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
