Monday’s pets on furniture

Posted on Mon, 17 Aug 2009 by KiM

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!

I'll take 1 Moo and 1 Mr. Jones, please! Thanks!

Stirling looks great – along with all those other tremendous critters (Martini & Rossi are very cute together!) thanks so much Kim!

I love all those furry friends! The problem with my cats is now that they are famous they are going to demand star treatment! (:
