After waiting so long the painting has begun at my new old house. I have dreamed of a black bedroom ever since we moved in. The cutting in has begun. Another day or two and it will be done. More photos over on my page.

Mangerton House by MacLean Interiors. Love the kitchen. Think of the wonderful times cooking for friends and family gathered around that table. The tiles. The shelves.  The pink! Needless to say the shower screen is fabulous. A touch of whimsy in white bright room. Still with a house like this and a location so picturesque how could you go wrong?

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 closeups of your pet!)

This is a photo of Don (AKA The Don) at a cabin to the south of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.

This is our new Vizsla puppy, William. He’s 14 weeks old. He’s our third Vizsla so we know what we’re in for.
Photo #1 – I was folding laundry the other day when I turned my back on William for a second. The camera happened to be close by. I’m thinking that this spot won’t work so well when he’s 60lbs!?!
Photo #2 – We decided that there was no point trying to keep him off the couches so we gave him his own. It’s officially Will’s chair.

I’m a big fan of your blog and wanted to share a picture of my dog Pucci with you. She’s fresh out from a trim and i shot her at work today on a chair that i believe is Danish from around the 50´s.
The sofa is a find from second hand store, just got it upholstered.

Longtime fan of your blog and especially Pets on Furniture. Unfortunately, my Ragdoll kitty Lola doesn’t share my feelings and NEVER lets me take a photo of her, except this one that I managed to snap while she was reclining on my Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair. Aren’t they both so pretty?

Sophie typically isn’t allowed on the furniture, but it was her birthday the day I shot this photo. I think she knew she could get away with it.

This is Miss Kitty in all her obese glory on our vintage “mushroom chair”. It was my grandmothers from the 60’s and I adopted and recovered it in periwikle velvet. Here she is relaxing on our Portica Canopy Bed from Room and Board. She has been our buddy since we found her on the steet while I was in college, much like the rest of our furniture!

Our Short-Legged Wolf (mutt), Jenny, loves to both sit on –and shed on– most of the furniture in our home. These are some of her more common locations.

This is my cat Velcro. Sometimes he likes to appear like an object…

This is Bridget snoozing on our favorite chair. Love the color, and that the soft material is makes for a fabulous cat nap. Always makes me smile when I see her loving it :: even though I will have to clean off her hair!!

I’ve sent pictures of Murphy to you before, so I thought I’d send a couple more… I’m way too obsessed with this funny little dog.
– Pia

This is Ebby, my 14-year old Jack Russell Terrier. He loves to sleep on this chair, particularly in the morning….
– Kelly

A little bonus…
The folks at Pet Lounge Studios sent in product shots of their bambu pet hammock. What a great piece of pet furniture!

Open plan contemporary living in an Australian bush setting. Pushing out from the ridge the glass and metal box is anchored by a big, bright dose of sunny yellow, a kitchen that shines like a beacon through the eucalyptus. It’s the ultimate bush shed by Sydney based, international architectural studio Lippmann Partnership. If a bush retreat is not your idea of architectural nirvana then perhaps the beach shack after the jump is more your modern retreat ideal.
