My younger sister Jen just bought a house with her boyfriend Dave which includes a bathroom that needs renovating because of some serious leak issues. So I told Jen I would post some photos to inspire her for her upcoming renovation. This was tough because so many bathrooms out there consist of really gorgeous and therefore really expensive tiles or marble, or they’re simply really large spaces. Jen and Dave do not have alot of money to spend and although I haven’t seen the bathroom, I know it will be a small space. Jen and Dave, do not take these photos literally. For example, I do not think you should tile an entire bathroom in black tile, but using all different shapes of a tile in the same colour is a great idea. (I’ve also realized that white tile looks incredible with dark grey grout.) Hope this helps.

Dean of my little apartment emailed to share photos of her half corgi/half beagle pooch named Bunny, who appears to love lounging on her couch with some fabulous vintage geometric needlepoint (bargello) pillows. Thanks for sharing these Dean!

Sorry to steal your thunder Dean but while I’m posting more cute reader’s pets, I thought I’d sneak a photo in of one of my 5 monsters cats. Here’s my favourite one of Lucky, sitting like a little old man on one of my mid-century chairs I inherited from my nonna (grandmother). This one is for you Auntie Jo.

Pethra of the Swedish blog Design & Inredningsbloggen wrote to contribute to our ‘dog on a piece of furniture’ theme. I’d like you all to meet her adorable dalmation Venus, who is a fabulous addition to her decor. (Thanks Pethra! And by the way, if anyone has ‘cat on a piece of furniture’ photos, we welcome those too, or any other animal for that matter.)

Back in February, Jo posted about this hot LA-based design firm. I happened upon their website recently and there were so many glamourous interiors that Jo didn’t get to post that I thought they deserved a second mention. These photos…now that’s HOT.
