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[.]comand PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet!)

My cat, Mr.Paw, just loves to take his afternoon nap on this tray. 🙂 You can see the actual furniture below the server, which is dark brown willow trunk. We keep our sheets and pillows there and consequently get a little more space to our closets.

The first photo is of a dog we met at an Inn my daughter, father and i stayed at in Treknow England, she was very well behaved and friendly, she just loved to sit in the window and see what was happening outside. The second photo is of my husbands ‘interesting’ rescue cat Spike, it’s hard to get photos of him because his definition of furniture is usually one of us, we are here simply to feed him and keep him warm I am sure, he does however find time to take over the hutch above my desk and put me on edge as he brush past the ornaments sitting on top, I often joke he does it on purpose.

The folks over at UXUS (an interiors and architecture firm based in Amsterdam that we have blogged about previously here and here) emailed us Friday with one of their latest residential projects. Here is a little bit of background info: The Wilton Residence is a 1930’s hunting lodge located in the historical heart of Connecticut. The home belongs to an American family, who after living in Europe for 13 years returned to the US. The interior is a reflection of their years living abroad with an eclectic mix of high European contemporary design, personal mementos and a classic American style. UXUS wanted to create an invigorating energy by fusing a pioneering spirit with the inherent comfort of effortless style – colonial yet innovative. Inspired by Rustic Luxury and essential beauty found in simple things, every space within the Wilton Residence exudes openness, personality and playful sophistication. I LOVE this home…the mostly neutral colour palette (including lots of white), the modern furnishings that are a great juxtaposition to the exterior, the references to the outdoors through the dining chairs and wallpapers – love the Piet Hein Eek one in the bedroom!!

On Monday Jo blogged the interior photography of Hallie Burton, and in that post were a couple of photos of a VERY cool light fixture. A reader named Martha asked about it, and I told her it was the creation of Serge Mouille. She noted that since I had already blogged about Jieldé lights (here and here), that I might be up for featuring another French lighting design. I was certainly up for the challenge, as I have coveted Serge Mouille fixtures for some time now. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be owning one of these beauties anytime soon as they are awfully pricey. Damn.

I’ve got one last apartment for you by James of Bricks Amsterdam (other projects here and here). In this apartment the layout was changed, everything was re-built and completely furnished. It’s got a similar vibe as the other 2 – moody, comfortable, and monochromatic.
