Adorable Shadowbox idea

In this month’s Elle Decor, there’s an adorable idea for a keepsake shadowbox. I’m obsessed with art wall installations as well as not having too many tzchotkes sitting around the house, so incorporating them into my art collection sounds like such a great idea!! And as you’ve probably already guessed as well, I love my pups and therefore the idea of turning their old collars into wall decor sounds like a GREAT idea!! This could easily be made with a shadowbox from the Ikea ribba collection (aprox cost $8) and a basic stainless hook from the hardware store ($2).  (I loved the room so much I had to show the entire thing…isn’t it gorgeous?!  I love that chest of drawers.) Also…here’s a detail of the box itself.

Decorating with Dogs #2: The Doghouse

This page from the Feb issue of World of Interiors is so adorable. How amazing would it be to have one of these dog houses in your backyard? I already have a pretty fabulous doghouse that I don’t even use though…truth be told. Here’s a pic.

Adorable dogs to decorate with… from Pillow Pillow Pillow

Today while hitting up all the home design blogs on my list, I ran across this post on Apartment Therapy. A new pillow design company hit up this year’s New York Gift Fair showcasing their new line of line drawn doggie pillows, and they’re TOOOO cute. I think my little Boston deserves a line drawn pillow all his own…don’t you?! Maybe I’ll have to send in his photo to their pet casting call.
