I Need a Dog...

I've recently stumbled upon something really interesting. I am constantly saving pictures of rooms that speak to me in my inspiration files, and I noticed that there is a certain combination that always looks great to me. Here's the equation:

Killer Room + Adorable Dog = Totally Awesome Room

Here's proof:

Aren't they awesome? I think the cute little dogs really add that "people live here" feel. :-) So what did I do? I dragged Lover down to the local animal shelter with me, and we scouted out the dogs there. And I fell in love with this beautiful Irish setter. Look;

But there was also this incredible white German shepherd there, with the biggest, softest eyes. And I thought he would look great in the guest room, so I brought him home too;

And then I just couldn't resist this mop of hair: he was so adorable, and I loved how you couldn't see his eyes for all the hair, and how he looked so disheveled and adorable at the same time. :-)

Doesn't he look cute on our front steps? ;-)
