Bring the Outdoors In: Animal Themed Home Accessories
After that fun Jonathan Adler pottery post I just couldn't get enough of the animal home accessories. So I dug up a few cute things from one of my favorite shopping inspirations, Charles and Marie and UK design shop Slam Design. I especially love the Dog Magazine Rack and fish drain stopper.
Jonathan Adler's New Pottery Collection Is Totally Wild
Chic designer Jonathan Adler, who produced one of my favorite pet bed designs, is showing off his love for animals in a new way — with pottery and home accessories! His line of place card holders, pottery, salt and pepper shakers and lamps made in the likeness of whales, penguins, giraffes and hippos is right up my alley — it's all wild, baby! These goodies are available for purchase on his website ($18-$700) now, but if we're really lucky, we may see a few of the items on the shelves at Target.
Put a Dog (or Cat) On Your Wall With Blik Decals
I enjoy incorporating a love of animals into my decor and these cute pups can be added to my household with nary a scratchmark. The sweet decals can find a happy home on walls, windows, floors (any surface really) and won't make your actual pets jealous. Each set supplies a varying number of decals based on the breed – and comes with its own story.

North May Still Need a Sill Shield
While North doesn't show much interest in the closed window (unless we're feeding the birds), whenever I have it cracked just the teensiest bit, he loves to put his paws up and sniff that fresh air coming in. Now my window ledges weren't in the greatest shape when we moved in but, if I owned my home, I would consider getting one of these Sill Shields to match any window I'd have open.
Made from heavy duty, outdoor grade PVC, these attachable shields protect the surface beneath them, while still hiding the scratches better than painted wood.
Just How Many Pets?
Many cities have laws that prohibit families from owning over a certain number of dogs – Paris Hilton revealed she was well over LA county's three pet legal limit – and, if they're tipped, animal services may come a-knockin'. While many of these region-based rules apply only to dog owners, I'm curious how many pets share your home? Whether the more the merrier, or less is best, feel free to share which types in your comments below!
Bare Bones: Stylish Bird Feeders
Even though I live in an apartment, I still would like to have a bird feeder for my window. Watching birds is a relaxing way to spend a lazy weekend morning while I have my coffee. But, since embarking on my own bird feeder hunt, I've run into a bit of a problem – finding one that I like .
