Do you let your animals get on the furniture?
A long time ago I saved this photo because I loved the DIY open shelving...

I can't tell you how many times I looked at this photo before I noticed a dog on the kitchen counter.
Look again.
See him?
Did you see him the first time?
Instantly this became so much cuter to me!
(no I don't let mine on the kitchen counter)
But I noticed that animals in home decor photographs are really very common!
Nanette Lepore lets her furry baby on the ottoman in her dressing room - can you imagine how pampered this girl is? I bet she wears perfume... :o)

I love how the family is crammed in this egg chair and the dog has the whole chaise to himself...

Cats count as pets too...I guess... ;o)

I don't think I would ever get any work done with this cutie in my face...
(image via: unknown - lonny maybe?)
Okay get real...gross...this dog is probably thinking "why have these crazy people put me on the table for a picture"..."and where's the food that's usually up here?"... :o)

Other people build special places just for their animals...
What a cute way to recycle an old drawer!

Once again, the apartment of the Brinsons (which I'm obsessed with) - a special Boxer-booty-sized-rug...

This dog might be a little spoiled...also the Brinson home...

My favorite is when the pups are kind of hidden - where they don't always catch your eye at first glance - those always make me smile...

That's more like it!

I know this is silliness, but I love dogs and think they make pictures so much more interesting and just cozy!
So what do you think - do 4-legged friends make the space or ruin the pic?

We CANNOT let our dog on anything... As she is a great dane. :) I think our 4-legged babies make the photos grand. It makes a space feel lived in.
ReplyDeleteLove the Westies :o). Is that a Bichon in the 6th picture up from bottom on the couch? You should add a husky to this mix ;)
ReplyDeleteMake the space! There's nothing like an 80-pound snuggie draped over the couch.
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading this, and knowing her mother-in-law (aka "crazy cat lady!"), I knew at once after the cat remark that the Blonde wasn't the author of this piece!
I don't have a dog but I can imagine if I had one he would be on our bed or on the couch all the time.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! I love it! We have 2 Siamese cats on our furniture every day, not looking quite so glamorous! XX!
ReplyDeleteHA! I just saw this and it cracks me up. Yes, Nero our boxer is allowed on ALL furniture. We don't fight it. XO!
