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: 

• Basset Hounds
• Boston Terriers
• Norwich Terriers
• Yellow Labrador Retrievers
• A Puppy ( PB copy says: “Golden Puppy,” but it looks like a Terrier Mix to me!)

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? 

Later, I’ve got to let the Dog out,

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.
