Most pet owners would consider their adored furry friends part of the family, and some might even treat their animals like royalty. Mantelpiece Masterpiece is a website that allows you to transpose photos of your pet's head onto the body of a classic portrait painting to create a custom masterpiece. The available "bodies" include a Distinguished General, a Mighty Majesty, a Fetching Princess, and more that can then be printed on canvas, framed, and hung proudly over your mantelpiece. To generate the posh portraits, all you need to do is upload a photo of your aristocratic pet and select a body that captures their "distinguished personality." Once ordered, the site's artist starts "digitally mastering" the final design, which is then sent after a week for approval. Check out some of their best ones we liked.
