Great Find for the Pup

Harry Barker Gingham Envelope Pet Bed

 

My one wish for Christmas was a new puppy in 2024 and Santa came through. If all goes according to plan, the new puppy, baby Beatrice, will be joining us in February. 

CCC North

Annapolis, Maryland

 I was so excited to find out yesterday that after only one weekend, my daughter and her SO are under contract on a gorgeous home in Annapolis, Maryland. With six bedrooms, six baths, and 6,000 square feet, it is a huge home with plenty of room for the pups and me to escape Florida for family time, sailing, crabs, and seeing friends in DC. And I am super excited to help with decorating the house. 

The home is a classic Georgian colonial but with an open floor plan and high ceilings, and will be wonderful with all her chinoiserie. Their long range plans include opening an antique store in Annapolis specializing in chinoiserie!

I see doggie life jackets in my future.

The Puppy Condo

Redfins - Luxury Puppy Condo in Sarasota

Did I mention to you that Harper and Margot have their own luxury condominium in Sarasota? The Florida house has a double staircase with a wet bar in between on the living room side. On the kitchen side of the staircase is a three section storage closet. We tore out the carpet, installed luxury vinyl dog friendly planks, and created a three room doggy condo that houses their toys, bowls, beds, crate, leashes, etc. etc. It also has a collection of nine dog oil paintings, most from Mario Buatta's collection and even a dog book library. The antique Chinese boxes hold the ashes of my beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Mandy and Julia, and my Tibetan Spaniel Isabella who I lost just before moving to Florida. I am happy they are all here with me.

 I think it is great use of the space and I love that all their doggy paraphernalia is not all over the place.
