Monday's pets on furniture - part 1

If you'd like to send us photos to include in next week's "pets on furniture" post, please ensure your photos follow our basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. (Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off...and your pet happens to be sitting on it). And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it's dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com and PLEASE don't send me closeups of your pet!)

I finally got round to photographing our whippet Albert on the Bertoia chair that I bought my husband for Christmas a couple of years ago.  It's never really been my husband's chair though, Albert staked his claim to it from day one.

Thought I'd share these photos of my 2-year old tabby cat, Yoni. In the first one he's on my Habitat sofa with a Primrose & Plum lambswool throw blanket, and the second is a vintage Danish chair we've re-upholstered and re-varnished, with a Roddy & Ginger cushion.
- Katie (London, UK)

I snapped this quick picture of Boomer wrapped in our bedroom curtain. The light coming through the window made for such a pretty glow.

"My name is Zoe and I am 4 yrs. old. My breed is a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I happen to be a Queen though. I hang out at European Antique Market (our store) with my Mom during the week. I'm very people-ized and have a knack for showing our clients how livable Country French furniture can be. My goal in life is to "Desire to Inspire" and mommy says I do."

"This is Pounce, hanging out on his favorite Platner chair."

- Andrea (Murwillumbah, Australia)
  

"1. Valentim, our 11-year old persian, sleeping in the new wood chair;
2. Mimi and the flowers..."
