Illustrator Emily Mackey sells adorable stationery in her Etsy shop, Illustrated Cards. Not only are they cute, but because they’re printed on 310gm recycled card and wrapped in a biodegradable cornstarch sleeve, they’re eco-friendly too.
Hey! An entire year has passed… how did that happen? Since this is the first full year of Dog Milk, let’s take a look back at the best posts of 2011 — from dog house planters to our exclusive interview with the world’s cutest dog.
Modern Shed Meets Modern Dog House
David van Alphen’s modern shed sprouted a mini-me: a modern dog house for his modern pooch.
Jamboree is a concept dog hammock by designer Ilya Fridman that aims to help the environment and keep your home clean at the same time.
Designer Andrea Roman partnered with VagoLab, Manuel Rimada & Gilberto González on a new concept in dog food.
What if your dog’s waste could literally end up smelling like flowers? What if it could help the environment? They came up with the idea food create dog food that contains seeds so that when your dog goes to the bathroom on grass or soil, it plants seeds that grow into flowers. What do you think of this idea?
This project was published in illogicalquestions.com.
Miles and Aimee are the masterminds behind Atomic Attic, an incredible Etsy shop chock full of gorgeous vintage items. Based on their love for “giving old, unusable things a new, fresh look,” Miles and Aimee have created a line of upcycled pet beds made from vintage suitcases, and bases from chairs and tables.
Designer Tom Davie had eight old soda crates sitting around so he decided to make them in to unique dog beds. He was careful to keep the integrity of the original crates intact as much as possible. I love how there are handles on the sides for easy transport. They’re all about 18″ long, so best for smaller dogs. Is your dog more of a Pepsi or 7-Up kinda pet?
Ask my huskymutts Mingus and Dottie what their favorite thing about my being a dog blogger is, and they’ll promptly tell you, “Free stuff!” (Then maybe go talk to a professional, because dogs do not really talk, dude.) We recently got the chance to give the new Basics toys from Simply Fido a try. These all-natural, multi-functional fabric and rope toys will hit stores this fall. Check out our review after the jump!
Like Jaime’s house, my house is a mid-century modern, and my design tastes generally follow, tending toward crisp, clean lines and classic modern style. When it comes to my home, though, I like mixing in organic, rustic elements to enhance the space’s cozy quotient (that’s a technical term). These wooden dog feeders, made from reclaimed oak barn beams by Keystone Vintage Lumber, are just the sort of thing I’m into.
