Thanks so much to Nicole of Making it Lovely for sending over these mockups. It got me thinking that if I can get better at Photoshop I could get some great stuff going at Casapinka.
For example, I don't like all those huge portraits that people have of their kids in their Sunday best looking like they aren't possibly thinking of putting a spitball into the ear of the sibling next to them. I want a different breed of kid portrait in my dining room. I'm going to try and edit everything out of this photo instead of the flying baby. A nice white background with just Junior and his shadow. How's that for a nice formal portrait in a dining room?

what about black lacquer for the foyer table? I know, black, snooze, but I think it would be really gorgeous and dramatic with the wallpaper.
Junior is TOO adorable!

Such a cute pic. Are you familiar with http://good-tutorials.com/
It's a site where you can search just about anything you want to do in photoshop and you will find a list of very good online tutorials which take you step by step to achieve whatever effect you want. I basically learned photoshop on this site. k

Hey, see if she can do one for you with pink table, red light, and leave the blue out.
You know, just to see all the options.

Yes, those mock ups are great, and loving the turquoise one esp :) For what you're looking to do, learning Photoshop should be fairly easy. I bought a few helpful books as well to aid me in my work, but the tutorials are great too.
