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 me closeups of your pet!)

“This is my cat, Eddy-Nelson, striking the pose on our Ektorp Sofa! We rescued him from the SPCA about a month ago. Needless to say he seems much more comfortable on our sofa than in the horrificaly small cage he used to be in!”
– Audrey (Montreal)

“This is photo is a three part tribute. First to ‘pets on furniture’ in general, second to my other favorite blog (the brick house) and third to my cat. As you can see I made a version of the now famous plumbing pipe shelving. I made this dude so that I could have more window space for my plants in my tiny and dark NYC apartment but as you can see Kingsley has taken up residence on the bottom shelf.”
– Megan

“Who doesn’t like a nice chair and a half? Especially when it’s in front of a big window!? Gordie and Eddie (BFFs) share the chair during play dates. It’s a good place to sleep, play fight, and watch for the mailperson coming up the street to give her holy hell for daring to deliver the mail. The shiny silver leather ottoman is usually snugged against the chair, but lots of jumping on and off (by dogs) makes it want to move to another location. That mole pillow has also been chewed and mended more times than the dogs care to be reminded of. Sometimes, even humans sit in the chair. Really.“
– Priscilla

“Bopsy sitting on one of my original 1950s Eames lounge chairs. She doesn’t look very comfortable, it has to be said, but then the chairs weren’t designed for cats.”
– Catherine

“Lottie just discovered our orange chair last week and has been sitting there every afternoon since.  She does have 3 dog beds around the house but always picks that chair or the couch to lounge on instead. I love when she moves my throw pillows on the couch around to suit her napping needs.”
– Beth (Indiana)

“This is Robinson sitting on his favorite yellow chair.”
– Marie

“i know that inside a cupboard may not qualify as furniture but i thought people might get a good laugh out of this on a monday. my brother always comes over to my house and puts my dog inside the microwave, or in a cupboard or inside a random box or something. its just his weird sense of humor but anyways i thought this was pretty funny. poor jude, clinging to a serving bowl for dear life!”
– James

“Exxon lives a rough life.  When I moved to KC and started working with my friend here at Framework Design, I start taking pictures of him in the various places he slept cause he amused me.
Exxon taking a nap on the Barcelona Chair (He has refined tastes).
A comfortable couch and some warm sunlight.  Sounds like a good place to take a nap.  Exxon sure seems to think so.
We share our office space with a furniture rep.  As soon as she moved in, both Exxon and (Bio)Diesel took to this chair.  We work at our desks, they nap the day away on this chair.”
– Layne

– Aubrey (Dallas)

And thanks to Leigha for reminding me about an Etsy shop which is perfect for anyone who digs my pets on furniture posts. It’s called WildLifePrints and is the creation of a photographer named Jeff based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He has so many adorable and quirky photos of animals on furniture, like the one below. (And he is having a 2 for 1 sale now until the 15th!)

“Gordie (the little white Toy Fox Terrier) and Jack (the great white shark, I mean Boxer) love the new skylights and built in book cases in our what-not room. (Ahem, so does my husband who has appropriated the room for his guitar practice). Shortly after I took this picture, Jack took it upon himself to eat the new flokati rug. A 50lb, 5 month old Boxer does like a nice new rug. Grrrr.”
– Priscilla

“I have so many pics of my pets. But my little rescue dog BUBBA a chihuahua and Jack Russel mix always cracks me up.

“These are my 3 cats: Aldo, who is an 18-year old stray Siamese that jumped into my arms on a rainy day on the street; Chaplin, the tuxedo and Artos, the orange cat; both of them rescues, also. Aldo has recently discovered the cubbyhole that I cut into the sideboard. The sideboard/chest used to be a mid-century music cabinet, which I found on the curb. I gutted the interior and where the speakers used to be, cut out a hole and lined it with fleece. It makes for a little cat-cave and my cats take turns to claim it. I recently painted the walls with stripes and adding the key-collection to make the entry-hall look like a curio-cabinet.”
– Astrid (New York)
