Unconditional love given to us by our beloved four-legged friends enriches our daily lives and the life lived within our homes.

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;
they give
unconditional love.
For me they are the role model for being alive.”

—Gilda Radner

I, like many other dog lovers, love the idea of a special day designed to celebrate dogs “decorating” designer rooms with the wow and the woof factor for National Dog Day.

“There’s just something about dogs that makes you feel good.
You come home, they’re thrilled to see you.
They’re good for the ego.”

Dog days of summer refer to the hottest days of the season, but the dog days of interior design and decorating refer to the hottest four-legged accessories for the look of the season.

“The dog is the perfect portrait subject.
He doesn’t pose.
He isn’t aware of the camera.”
