I featured Florida interior designer Andrew Howard last year here and here, showcasing his talent for creating both bright and bold as well as sophisticated and neutral spaces. Here is a little bit more of both. That space above has got me all hot and bothered. YUM!

If you would like to participate in the Monday’s pets on furniture series please send photos, your name, location and a brief description to kim[@]desiretoinspire[.]net. Thanks!

I’m starting today’s post with an entry from one of my sisters. Carl is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen and he is super sweet and loveable. And super photogenic. Here are a couple photos of him hanging out in Jen’s living room.

please find attached photo of our friend’s Ivana dog – elegant Fred posing on their renovated vintage armchair.

Here is my dog Freddie, a wire fox terrier rescue, on vacation in Key West, Florida, last fall. He tossed the pillow off the chair (you can see it on the floor) and then made himself quite comfortable. 
– Heather (Port Saint Lucie, Florida)

A big thanks to Wanda for sending me this photo the other day of the darling Desi, who I rescued a few years ago when my next door neighbour was dying of cancer and his family took all his cats to the Humane Society (where I imagine they met their fate) and Wanda then adopted from me. 

My herd absolutely adores my new Furniture Maison sectional sofa. 

After discovering the website of The Dreamcatcher, I am ready to pack my bags, skip work this week and hop on a plane to San Juan, Puerto Rico. This vegetarian B&B is all kinds of bohemian vintage awesomeness and would be such a delightful and cozy getaway from life’s monotonous realities…like WEEK FOUR of my foyer being painted/wallpapered. *SHOOT ME* (Photos: Ayasha + Christina)

Happy Friday dear readers! May you get to lounge in bed this weekend and not feel guilty about it. Beautiful bedroom above by Annabel Karim Kassar. 

I love living in the city. Not much would change my mind about city living except for maybe a stunner like this modern mountain home by interior design firm Studio McGee.
