Displaying posts labeled "Pets on Furniture"

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!)

I’ve been hoping to catch my pets snoozing nearby one of my favorite vignettes – an old speaker against my Moroccan stenciled wall – so I could snap a photo. This is about as close as I could get. Our newest family member Jelly is snuggled in her blanket on the loveseat, speaker and wall in the background. And I couldn’t leave out my Bobo. He is pictured here stealing Jelly’s spot later that evening.

These are our girls Stella & Lucy. I caught them on our freshly made bed acting like they own the place…which they basically do 🙂

Here’s a picture of my Bichon, Harley, in his favorite perch, on top of the bed between all the down pillows.

This is Sirts – a feral stray cat from the non-kill shelter (www.kassiabi.ee) where I volunteer. I am domesticating her so she can be someone’s pet. She has been with me for a few weeks now. The funniest thing about her is that she is absolutely fascinated with the TV!
– Merje (Tallinn, Estonia)

The dog in the photo, is my old Jack Russel lady. Her name is Moa, and she love to be in the sun. She is laying on the sofa in the livingroom, a favorite place for her (and me :-)) The cushion in the background, I made by myself and have print the number with color.
– Anette

This was my ferret, Pancha, she passed away almost a year ago. She enjoyed having fun with my architecture homework and sleeping on it. She used to sleep with me under the sheets 🙂
– Cynthia (Mexico)

This is Missy sitting on my son’s tiny arm chair I’ve just reupholstered.

I was so excited to receive our first “real” bed this week from West Elm. Bye-bye steel frame, hello soft plush tuffted headboard and comfy colorful bedding.  Our sweet puppy Cammie, a pit bull/boxer rescue, agreed, immediately showing her approval!
– Dharma (Arlington, Virginia)

I have attached Maggie. She is an English Bulldog that loves to sleep in our bed. Can’t get her out.
– Theresa (San Francisco)

This furry little has been staying at our house while another friend’s house is being renovated. He thinks he can just sleep in my favorite chair all the time. But it seems like most cats are like that.
– Danielle

I send you two pictures of my cat Azul in the living room of my apartment.
– Sonja (Netherlands)

The picture shows shows our Labrador Retriever, Mica, and our Yorkshire Terrier, Bailey, sleeping on our favorite couch, with some winter sun filtering in to warm them. Bailey likes to climb up and nap on top of Mica. This was not a posed photo.

Here’s Suzy, our beloved 10 month-old tricolour, rough-coated collie, sitting on the new futon cover, watching me at the computer while I scroll through desire to inspire.

I’m emailing with a photo of my handsome little Boston Terrier, Kojo. He’s hanging out on a handmade duvet in my old apartment in Washington, DC.

This a picture of my living room with my cat ‘eye’.

Here’s our dog Hachi trying to catch some well earned zzz’s while I sneak up on her with the camera.
– Toby (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

We were sent this link to a post called Elegant Cats and Feline Asthma written by Dominique Browning (ex-House and Garden magazine editor-in-chief and NYTimes writer). It included the following incredible cat photos from the book The French Cat by photographer Rachael Hale

This photo is of Marxy watching attentively Sunday morning as my husband, Richard, cooks breakfast. Marxy loves to observe everything from her ottoman. LOL!!
– Cindy

Please find attached pics of my beloved calico, Jude, and my neighbor’s fawn Doberman Pincer, Coco. (please excuse my exuberance for these dears!!)
-First is the Jude in a beam on our bed. Does the gorgeous Thibaut wallpaper count as “furniture?”
-Second is the Jude on our vintage dining room sofa with a retro spider plant and Block Island beach rocks in the foreground.
-Then we have Coco on the patio table. She does this whenever she is being ignored which alarms us all a bit since she is such a big dog! I call this “dog on glass”
-Last, when we keep an eye on Coco while her people are visiting with thier son who just joined the Marines, ( <3 Kemal!!) she shows us how much she appreciates our attentions. such a peach!

My favorite place to sit and read is often taken by our basset hound Finn when I return. Oddly on this day I was reading “Investigations of a Dog” by Franz Kafka.

Lazy day of Bird
– Gina (San Francisco)

William is 6 months old now. We gave him another chair but he’s taken to this one, much to my chagrin. Do you think our antlers are safe?
– Karen (Oshawa, ON)

This is my cat, Tom Hanks, sitting on my orange director’s that has been with me since freshman year in college – I am now 26 and I currently live in Boston!
– Lex

I wanted to send in this picture of my 1 1/2-year-old Ragdoll cat, Josephine, napping on my antique 1930s sofa.
– My (Northampton, Massachusetts)

Please meet our very decorative 9-month old French Bulldog, Martini. The only furniture he is usually spotted on is our bed and we are amazed that he moved downstairs (!) for this photo.
– Andreea (Bucharest, Romania)

This is Gaspar, an 8 month puppy, crazy like Tasmanian devil but really cute!
– Margarida & Dan (Lisboa, Portugal)

Our three cats LOVE hanging out on the furniture. I happened to snap these pictures early on afternoon when Spurfy, the big grey cat and Hooney, the smaller striped cat were relaxing on my old couch. They love standing on the back of that couch to look out the window as well as attempting to destroy said couch by scratching the arms until the fabric falls apart and I have to buy a new one! They’re really ridiculous creatures, but I still love them! Haha!
– Mrs. Biscuit (Arizona)

Attached is a picture of our family dogs, Chester (right) and Coco (left), who also happen to be the mascot of our family store- True North Living. Along with keeping me company, they greet the customers with a sniff and lick. Occasionally they like to model the furniture, or should i say, model ON our furniture. The nest chair is their favorite!

I decided to send some pictures of my persian cat Maggie. She is 5 years old and loves to walk around the house. Her favorite places are our bed, the living room couch and the kitchen chairs.
– Carolina (from Aveiro, Portugal now living in Amsterdam, Netherlands)
 

This is Bowie, a gorgeous 8month old ragdoll. He is sleeping on the lounge on the first few pics and on the last one in his usual position in between my keyboard and monitor with his paws hanging over the keyboard. Makes for fun working!
– Natalie (Sydney, Australia)

I have attached a couple photos of my cats Jin and Polly. The first photo is Jin on my new hand-me-down 70s Norwegian platform bed. The second photo is Polly on her “tuffet” – a Pier 1 wicker ottoman.

A fun tribue to your Pet series!

Enclosed a picture of Diesel, my 6 year old French Bulldog, on a cowhide (I know, not really furniture but I had to try…) and on the couch. His favorite things to do are sleeping and staring out the window.
– Inge (The Netherlands)

I was shooting the new design I did in our fireplace (reuse of parquet flooring) to display on my blog and Kimy, our Yorkshire, was sitting on the couch!
– Marion (Brazil)

This is our puppy “Olive” briefly sitting still.
– Lora (Nashville, TN)

Here is Virgola testing out our brand new Ikea bench and cushions. We hadn’t even tightened the last screw that she had already leaped onto it. She surely seems to appreciate it.
– Teresa (Lodi, Italy)

These are our pets: Trini the dog and Boots the cat. Trini is in her favourite spot, at the corner of my mother’s old couch and boots in his, a decorative bowl of sorts.

Thought it would be cute if you had a holiday “Pet by Christmas tree”
