DOGS Forecast for Interior Design Hounds: White Out!

 

I’m afraid the forecast is looking pretty frosty…

 

There’s a whiteout on its way.

White Dogs of every shape and size have left their paw prints on the home décor scene.

 

 

I’m sure you’ve probably seen a Dog or two hanging around…

Greyhounds & Whippets are very popular thanks to Kelly Werstler.

 

The Hollywood designer is the leader-of-the-pack for creating Modern Glamour with porcelain Dogs, and the trend is here to stay.

Kelly Werstler places here Pups against bold colors & textures for contrast to achieve her Hollywood Regency look.

 

Here’s a Dog Werstler placed at the Viceroy Palm Springs:

The life-size Dogs can make quite a statement flanking a fireplace like these Hip Hounds in a contemporary apartment designed by Jonathan Adler:

Standing guard, the Dogs take on a regal air with their high gloss finish.

The Greyhound  below seems to be asking himself:

 

“Just what exactly do you store in a Lucite chest of drawers that won’t look messy?”

Evidently nothing. 

 

Just as in real life, some Hounds think adding BLING to everything is adding style.

Greyhounds & Whippets are not the only Dog breeds experiencing the whiteout.

 

Here’s a white Boxer Puppy that looks like he’s ready to pounce…

Bad Dogs.   Very BAD Dogs!

 

Later, I’ve got to let the Dog out,

DOG Pillows Unleashed: Painted Pups Personalize Your Home’s Décor

 

I love it when a new season’s catalogs begin to arrive in my mailbox.

 

I never know what new Dog inspired home accessories I’ll discover within the pages of the catalogs…

I founded a Dog related mail-order catalog a gazillion years ago and enjoyed creating & discovering new merchandise each season.

 

This year has been the year of the Dog…

 

“the year of the Dog” for Puppy Pillows, anyway.

Take Pottery Barn…

 

They’ve created pack of Dog Pillows inspired by watercolor paintings.

 

Each Canine cushions is a little work of art.

Pottery Barn’s pack of Dogs includes:

The Dog Breed pillows, with their neutral color palette, would add a special touch to any style of decorating…contemporary to casual.

The best feature of the Dog pillows? 

 

You can personalize them with your Dog’s name…

That makes the Pup pillows perfect for gift giving. 

 

I only have one question for Pottery Barn: 

 

Where’s the Scottie Dog?

INTERIOR DESIGN HOUND TIP:  Remember with Pottery Barn (and plenty of other mail-order catalogs & online stores), you are ordering the Dog “pillow cover” only.  The “pillow insert” is sold separately

 

Usually, you can find the standard sized “pillow insert” for less at your local fabric or craft store.  You also might find that you already own an old pillow that you could re-cover.

 

This practice is often used for Dog Beds as well, so always read the fine print when making purchses from mail-order catalogs & online companies.
