You may have guessed by my photo on the sidebar I'm a big dog lover.
 I'm thinking we need to add a portrait to our decor...

Are you a fan or do you think I'm a crazy dog lady?

Rio has one of the sweetest faces I've seen. I would definitely add her portrait to any wall!

Robin Johnson said...

Oh yes you should. With so many great examples it would be hard to pick a style. Go for it.

Alexa said...

Love! We have a Keep Calm and Walk the Dog poster. So cute!

Mary Ann Pickett said...

My sister has tons of dog art...I think it has personality!

I really like the ones where the dogs are posing next to their portraits. They look very proud!

Meredith and the New Yorkie said...

We bet you can guess our answer! Gwyneth and I love ours and would be happy to send you the information for the sweet-and-talented-as-can-be artist who painted it!

I want to have it framed just like the last BHG photo you posted! (And maybe put a museum light on top to be funny)

xoxo,
Meredith & Gwyneth

I love each and every one of these pieces.... I think they are charming.

from one dog lover to another, i say you NEED some dog art. i made a dog canvas silhouette for each of our pups a couple of months ago, http://www.thespacebetweenblog.net/2012/02/09/diy-canvas-silhouettes/. I love that oversized silhouette you feature in your post!

You have to add a photo! :)

:) I am not a huge animal lover - no animals in my house please! But I think if you ARE an animal lover and you have a family pet these are really cute fun ideas. I love the sillhouettes above the bed that include the family dog. I think it's cute when the dog is included in family portraits or has his own portrait spot on the wall:) You really need to do this!

Katie {Miss Dixie} said...

Yes we have two dog portraits done by Stephens brother- they are incredible and some of my favorite art in our house!

Lisa @ Shine Your Light said...

I LOVE pet portraits….I might be biased because a friend of mine paints them and they are just so fun and whimsical! You definitely need one :)

Dana Frieling said...

I think you're a crazy dog lady! ;)

Bethany [at] Powell Brower Home said...

AHHH - its about time someone dedicated a post to this. I want my pup, Wilma, all over my house. My hubs and I wanted a portrait of her over our dining room area and knew everyone would laugh at us. I think I'm gonna work on this...

Leslie said...

From one dog lover to another.. YES to all of these and I really like the series of silhouettes with the dog in the middle. They really do become one of the kids don't they? :)

Like Me Some said...

Oh, I love this and love the pooches!! These spaces are fantastic!! I need to add a picture of our pooches to our walls!!!

I know you are NOT a crazy dog lady. You are just a lady who loves dogs and although I don't have one, I love dog portraits. Go for it!

Calypso In The Country said...

Yes, you need one and so do I! Great pictures! I love the silhouettes!

I drew a pet portrait for a friend of their 2 boxers- I'll email you a picture of it. Perhaps I can do one for you?
It is a great idea. I love that 3rd painting, and the Jack Russells and the circular Great Dane. I wish I had done one of my golden before he left us.
Never too late I guess! I say do it!

Jennifer @ Dimples and Tangles said...

A fan of the photos...not so much the real thing! I love the IDEA of having the dog, but every visit to my sister's with her drooling, smelly great dane gives me a dose of reality! Harsh, but true. :) Beautiful interior shots, loving that cane-backed love seat.

Stan and Jody Gabara said...

I think it's a great idea. We have a white Lab, Maggie and I think it's time for a portrait of her too! Thanks for sharing.

My boss came in this morning as I was about to comment - so I would have stopped by a lot sooner if it weren't for that ;) And I was going to say how much I loved the cameo art that includes the pup - I think it's an adorable way to include your furry family member into the decor. And so many interesting ways to do it these days too.

I have a colored pencil/ink portrait of our Red Lab Addy! I ordered it
from Two Dog Studio. She does beautiful work and her animals look so
life like. I Love that Addy is the center piece of our Family Room! Oh, and
the center piece of our lives!!

I love pictures of dogs. They make me smile!

Kim @ French Country Antiques said...

Loved this post. I'm a crazy dog lady, too, and have a ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so I love the last photo.

Unknown said...

Such great inspiration photos! I am so glad I can finally rejoin the crazy dog lady club. We got a new peekapoo pup on Monday, and she's such a doll. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

ℳartina @ Northern Nesting said...

I'm a big dog lover too and I say go for it!! Love the inspiration photos!

Honey I'm Home Blog said...

I AM a fan of dogs & dog art too. I just bought a print of my King Charles Cavalier & I've been framing it. I think it's gonna be fun & whimsical. I love these great photos you've posted.

Warmly, Michelle
