Dogs Inside

As much as I like cats (we have two of our own), I am definitely a 'dog' person. So beautiful and loyal, they're always there for you, never hold a grudge, always so happy to see you. Every morning when I get up, Sam is ecstatic to see me. She's slept on the floor next to me all night, but you'd think we'd been separated for weeks by her reaction to my waking.


I understand why some dog owners prefer theirs to stay outside, they can make a mess. But my dogs are, and will always be, inside dogs. They are part of the family, and they live with us. Sam loves to be outside, but more than that, she loves to be near me - as I type this she is lying at my feet. So I had a lovely time viewing my latest blog discovery, Dogs Inside. It features dogs (obviously) inside some very cool homes...

But if you don't want your dog/s sleeping on your pillow...

Or your best sofa...

You should invest in one of Cush & Nooks' custom made dog beds. They are filled with tiny balls of wool that massage your dog as they lie on it. And best of all, you get to pick your fabric to tie in with your decor. Your pooch will no longer be interested in your furniture, they'll be fighting the cats for their own special bed!

This organised entryway is fantastic with it's doggy picture wall, dog bowls, walking clothes and leads all ready to go. And wouldn't one of our beds just look perfect at the bottom there?!

Hannah & Higgins

This is the house where Higgins lives in Stockholm with her owner Hannah. Another example of a Swedish home just oozing with life and personality. Filled with a mix of gorgeous flea market finds, home-made furniture, and lots of Ikea pieces, it has a lovely homely feel.

Because it's only a small home, much of the furniture has been made to fit the space. The coffee table is made out of boxes with Ikea candle sticks as legs. The drawer handles are Ikea Linsdal knobs. The drawers which hold remote controls, among other things, are covered in fabric to give a patchwork look. This could be achieved using wallpaper off-cuts too. The pot on the table is wrapped in yellow yarn, the old lampshade brought to life with a lick of yellow paint, and an Ikea mug adds another splash of yellow. A montage of frames echo the colours in the sofa, including an Ikea Ung Drill frame. I love the cute little Russian dolls, and the Enchanted Tales print behind is, yes you guessed it, available from Ikea.
