Monday's pets on furniture - part 1
Mon, 16 Aug 2010If 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!)
"Here's my Golden Retriever, Rose, relaxing on my newly re-upholstered shabby couch. I found the couch at a resale shop, its been stripped, sanded, stained and waxed to a soft sheen complete with a down cushion."

"Hi there! Love your blog. This is Rosie, our Chinese Shar-Pei mix, curled up on our (obviously) super comfy IKEA sofa. We're not quite sure how she got herself in this particular position, but this is her favorite corner in the entire house!"

"Our recently adopted kittens (Lucillia & Harley) have in turn adopted the furniture in our second floor library. They get to enjoy the softness of the chairs and couches, while basking in the streaming sunlight. It's now an even better place to read."

Thank you for posting photos of my little Willow! She and I love browsing your Monday Pets on Furniture posts during design breaks at the office.
The photo of Rose, the Golden Retriever, was my morning smile.
Thank you. I love these posts.
Yay Kiana! What a lovely, lucky Pit Bull! :)
I love that fabric on the chair Willow is sleeping on. Where can I find that? Also, Willow is pretty darn cute herself!
Thanks Meghan! The fabric was a special order from Crate & Barrel this year.

Let me say a big THANK YOU for posting this pit picture. I already was in love with this blog, but now I'm addicted. Horray for open - mindedness toward pits!
