We love, love, love our pets, am I right? Life wouldn't be the same without those sweet furry faces. But real talk: the accoutrements of life with cats and dogs does not a #designgoals home make.
The lovely, would-be formal dining room in my Victorian home stars a wonderful, original fireplace—annnnnnd one 54-inch heavy-duty dog crate that my half mountain dog Cassius Thunderpaws adores for nap time. And I can tell you: there is zero pretty about a giant black wire box in the dining room. As for the rest of it—silly cartoon-emblazoned bowls, plastic litter boxes, grubby beds, piles of raggedy toys, bags of kibble—it's frustrating to put so much care and attention into your nice things and then take in this decidedly non-pretty side of pet owner's life every time you turn around.
But there must be a way to have your dog or cat and love your home, too. My best (and only!) tip was storing food in (giant) vintage apothecary jars but I needed more ideas so I took to Insta-stalking some people with enviable homes—and pets—and asked for their best tips.
