Dog Decor: Canines Living Large Hardcover English by Sara Essex Bradley - 30/Jan/19

Sara Essex Bradley

A rare combination of dogs and decor, which fills a void in the marketplace for consumers who are interested in both topics. Dogs remain a perennial popular topic world-wide - in the U.S. alone, approximately 37 percent of all households have a pet dog. Contains the top 10 most popular dog breeds including Labrador Retrievers, French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, and Beagles. Envision opulent manors, modern homes, rustic charmers, and traditional abodes. What do so many of these homes have in common? The family dog, of course. In Sara Essex Bradley's career as an interior design photographer, she's been inside homes that amaze her, some that inspire her, and some that outright confuse her. However, the one constant in all of these beautiful spaces is the furry friend, the loyal companion, the ever-forgiven ruiner of fine fabrics - the loyal pooch. These breeds are as varied as their owner's tastes, but be they French Bulldog, Labradoodle, Dachshund or Corgi, they all seem to fit seamlessly with their chosen decor. Join Bradley on this visual tour of these beautiful spaces, with their humbling canine caretakers the final piece to complete the composition of a home.
