Monday's pets on furniture

Hello my name is Victoria. I'm obsessed with your blog. I just moved to Pittsburgh, PA. I have a new loft and refer to your blog several times a day for help. I also have two Italian Greyhounds named Martini (black coat) and Rossi (tan coat). They live on all my furniture and I have tons of photos. I find them to be the perfect accessories. I thought you would enjoy. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!

I had to show off my little man to you. His name is Louie and he likes to sit behind on the ratton couch I have in the Florida room. I'm usually sewing when he sits back there. But he is so damn cute.

I began reading Desire to Inspire when we bought our Brooklyn co-op apartment and began DIY home renovations. I love the "pets on furniture" posts and couldn't help but send mine along. This is Olive the Boston Bulldogge in a vintage Danish lounge.

A friend came for a week's working visit last summer and she brought her cat: a very mature, laid-back guy. Max. aka "King of the Sofa". He just settled right in, made himself at home. He's still kicking around at 19 years of age. Not bad, eh?

I thought you might like these :) The dogs are my friends dogs and the cats are mine. The dogs names are Moo (the white one) and Mr. Jones (the brown one) and cats are Suki and Jack.

I wanted to send you a picture of my beloved Sheltie Stirling, sitting on his favorite spot - my new chaise by the front window, where he spends his days watching the world go by. And because you're a decorating blog, I thought you just may be interested in the rest of the space - I did some major redecorating (with little $$) & repurposing after buying my hubby a big flat plasma (most of the $$) and trying to make it look not so big. Stirling's chaise was quite the find in the as-is of Ikea. I bought a simple white slipcover from them and dyed it the color & texture of my dreams! I've included a couple of pix, but I've also got 2 blog posts about this gargantuan task: "Books moved, entire house rearranged", "Getting it Done". Although this is done DIY and on a budget, I'm quite proud of the results! I actually spend more time in the living room with my hubby, and changing the dining room into a music room has made practice time for my family much more enjoyable!

I live in Seattle with 2 lovely cats that we rescued from shelters. They are wonderful family members and so good with the kids. There is a lot of love going around here!
1) Smurfie, our shy girl, has chosen this chair as "her" favorite spot. (One of my friends once asked me if I had picked Smurfie to go with the decor of the house! No, she was picked because she is so incredibly sweet, people!)
2) Charlie again - now in the hallway. I love my Hicks wallpaper. He could really care less!

More pets on furniture

For a while now, Jo and I have occasionally done posts of pets on furniture. We thought they made cute add-on posts to our regularly scheduled programming here at DTI, and we plan to continue with them for as long as our readers keep sending in photos. This blog stems from our passion for interior design, but we also have a pretty serious love for animals (Jo has budgies and a golden lab - her husband's guide dog, and I have 6 cats plus feed 6 stray/neighbour's cats). I wanted to give a bit of an explanation for all you newcomers to the blog so you see where we're coming from with these somewhat random posts. We thought we'd tie it into the theme of the blog by requesting the photos feature a bit of readers' homes as well. So there you have it - now back to the post.

First off, Ryan, of this blog and this Etsy store. "I am very involved with dog rescue, and somehow I have ended up with many more dogs than I ever intended to have. While my photo isn’t the greatest quality, I wanted to pass it along anyway. Especially since I don’t think you guys have ever featured a photo of this many dogs at once! And just because I like to brag about my fur-kids, two of them are registered Delta Society Pet Partners and they visit nursing homes and hospitals with me to bring a little puppy love into others' lives." Ryan, you may be right about this being the most dogs in one photo! They are all adorable and I commend you for rescuing so many and having 2 of them spreading the love to those who could use some lovin'.


Sandra, whose dining room makeover we've featured, sent along some photos of her cats Lulu and Schmoo (who loves tomatoes - seriously???). Cutie patooties!!


And lastly, I thought I'd share a photo I took of my cat Lucky (and Milo) sleeping flat on his back on one of the sections of my sofa that I keep under the window for the cats to perch on. In this photo he is fast asleep and, as someone on Flickr put it, "airing out his boy bits".
