We’ve got a new sponsor in the house, by the name of High Fashion Home. It’s another I could not help but get excited about because they have some reeeeeally hot furniture. I found at least 10 pieces I adore within the first couple minutes on their website. Yeah, it’s yummy. They have a huge 125,000 sq ft location in Houston, TX, that looks like a playground for interior design enthusiasts. And you can shop online, and they currently ship only to destinations within the 48 contiguous states, so some of us (like Jo and I) will have to love from afar. They cater to all sorts of styles, as you will see below: Earthy Modern, Industrial Countryside Chic, French Gothic Arboretum, Rustic Zen Ranch, Boutique Hotel, Traditional Glam and Office Vintage Chic. (P.S. They have jumped on the blog bandwagon – check it out here.)







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 me closeups of your pet!)

“Well, it’s not so much pets ON furniture as it us pets UNDER furniture. Our rescue mixed breed puppies Daisy and Bella (left and center) playing with their new big brother Buddy underneath our Bo Concept bed. We came in from another room to find only tails greeting us.“

“My photo shows Tunis, a Parisien, female cat. I was babysitting her during a hot summer in Paris last year. She was obviously bored with my company.“

“Our leather love seat is Madison’s favorite place to really crash out. She is sound asleep here. Madison, a Giant Schnauzer, makes the sofa look small, with her huge stretched-out frame tucked in with her messy blankets and pillows.“
