It’s no secret among my friends and family that I am nuts about pups.  I love dogs in all shapes and sizes.  They have such a good vibe and for the most part bring you nothing but joy (if properly trained :-).  Recently, I ran across a few companies that are taking a cue from our pets to create decorative solutions that pamper your pet and work with your decor.  Since pets are a part of the family, I think it’s a very cool idea.  Let me know what you think!

Crates and pet houses can take up a lot of space.  Denhaus has created pieces that do double duty as end tables and pet houses.  They’re available in Classic and Modern Styles.  Tres chic!

I really like the Asian feel to the Saigon Day Bed from Dog Bed Works.  It would be at home with your Modern or Exotic Decor.

The Beverley Hills Black and White Dog Bed from AdorableDogBeds.com will fit right in with Classic decor.  You pup will sit atop his or her rightful throne.

Please take these last two with the humor that is intended.  I don’t dress-up my dog Emma (well maybe on Halloween) nor does she require her own sleeping quarters.  I just thought they would make you smile.

Rachel Hunter apparently hired La Petite Maison to craft a mansion for her dog.  In this case, they replicated the client’s home for Fido.

And if you do dress up your pet, then where are you going to put all the frocks and feathers?  Why an armoire of course!

Shop for your spoiled pet on a semi-reasonable level in My Secret Database!

Calling all dog park devotees!  Good news on the furnishings front.  Crypton makes a line of “everything” resistant fabrics and furnishings that won’t get Fido kicked off the couch.  Fabulous sofas, chairs, dog beds and fabrics by the yard.  Choose among many styles and colors.  There is something to please everyone.

This is their promise to you and it’s pretty brave…

“It is the only textile that offers stain, moisture, mold, mildew, bacteria, and odor-resistant protection coupled with an integrated barrier that ensures nothing will ever penetrate the fabric…ever. “

Bravo for the husband and wife team of Craig and Randy Rubin.  They are making things a bit easier for those of us who unapologetically allow canines on the couch.

Come Visit Crypton!
