Does your kitchen match your dog?

10 years agoIt was suggested that I revive this thread after Jamie snuck into this photo of my new two-tone kitchen. He matches perfectly! I have, however, developed some hefty vacuuming skills from the white fur/dark floor combination. :)

O.T. Does your dog match your decor?
Comments (75)The color of my new dining room is 'French Bulldog' black, the runner for the stairs was chosen specifically because the dogs like to guard (I use that term very loosely) from the landing and we have coordinating beds scattered throughout the house. My pimped out minivan is black with a personalized Frogdog plate and Harley is the poster child for the labels on our homemade wine. So I guess the answer is a resounding yes. I'm the neighborhood dog freak - love these pictures, but always, always have a soft spot for the short noses - especially that little black pug!...See MoreBold Tile, Sunlight Filled Kitchen
Comments (85)So very sorry to hear that your dear mom never saw the completion of your kitchen here on this earth but know that she is happily smiling down on you from heaven. I agree with Bee, your mom will wink at you from time to time. I lost my dearest friend, my mother, nine years ago. I miss her dearly but she still sends me a wink from time to time. Your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. I love your home, it is so very charming. I lam so fond of a one story home especially as I get older. Our main home is two stories and more steps than I care for. Our other home is a one story that I love. Unfortunately hubby has to have garages and has two huge garages at our country home and there is no room for additional garage space in our other house. I will definitely return to this post over and over again for inspiration. I can't imagine a lovelier addition. Best of luck to you and your DH!!!...See MoreDoes Your Ambition Match Your Energy Level?
Comments (42)Ladies, ladies, ladies; this is just the sort of thing I was talking about. I leave home for a week only to return to find the kitchen all tore up! Seriously, I'm really impressed with what bigbaby has accomplished this week. Some before pictures may still be possible in the areas she hasn't gotten to yet. And when it's finished it will be fantastic. This house was built in 1965 and much of it looks just like the day it was built. But not all of it. The shag carpeting covering the oak hardwood floors was one of the first things to go when we bought it from Dad and Mom 8 years ago. Thanks to all of you for giving Bigbaby moral support while I was gone.

Comments (43)slk7e7, I have never run it on high and likely never will - there is likely nothing wrong with your installation...it just sounds like a jet taking off on high! I knew this going in, but could not find the look I wanted in a quieter hood without paying 3x the money. Since I do not fry, I find the hood totally sufficient on low or med-low to take care of moisture from boiling or sautéing....See Moreginny20
10 years agoGlad you revived this - I missed it first time. Soibean should post here, too - her dog matches her floor.
Our Winnie is more of an accent piece; she coordinates. She matches the white trim and the black cooktop, as well as the black specks and veins in the granite, but to really match, she'd need to be green.

10 years agoI LOVE this thread! Our house is being built but now that I think about it, our kitchen (and actually our entire house) is matched to our dogs. In the kitchen we're going with black cabinets, bianca luna laminate countertops (white and grey), and a iridescent grey/blue backsplash which is basically our bi-blue merle sheltie, Merlin, who has half a blue eye. Our floors will be stained pretty close to the brown in Archimedes' face (the tri-colored sheltie).

10 years agoJoyce, I love your two Pekingese. My first one was fawn with a dark mask. She lived until she was 18. I had her longer than my daughter and husband. Our 2nd peke is now 14, and she is half deaf and has cataracts. She can still smell the food though....she just can't find it. Poor baby!
3rd peke is pure sunshine. She is the dog that has never grown up. My ADD dog. Never walks when she can run. If I have been gone for even a minute she welcomes me back with such joy...like I have been gone for days! LOLAll of the peeks match my kitchen as do the two collies that are outside except in the extreme heat and cold. All girls too.
Mtnfever, here is a Halloween costume picture for you. Poor Snickers is so embarrassed and not happy, but the costume suits her personality. Peke

10 years agoWell, not so much the kitchen ~ but I'll bet you can tell why I changed the bedroom to match the dog!

10 years agoWhat a fun thread! I love looking at everyone's pets. Mine sort of matches the grout or a lighter spot in the tile...either way she loves the coolness of it and we often find her laying in the kitchen in the summer.
She does not match our dark hardwood floors but thankfully has poodle in her and doesn't shed much at all. :)

10 years agoI started laughing when I heard about this thread on another post. When we were debating cabinet color, my wife said, "I know this sounds weird, but I want them the color of Bucky." My contractor indeed found it weird when we came home and she held swatches up against the dog. I think we came pretty close.

I had several comments from my DIY Kitchen Reveal thread that Charles matched and to post his pic here too, lol. So here we go:

10 years agoGreat to see a few new post! love the dogs and the occational cats. Isn't that just like a cat, to sneak into a thread about dogs ;)
Anyway, several years ago I took this pic of Rusty (at night) to include it in the dog matching thread. This is outside our back door in the fallen black maple leaves. He is not a house dog, unless my DD visits then she sneaks him in, 'cause she LOVES him. But if he was a house dog he would look fab next to my cherry cabinets. He is the best dog. He's getting old. We got him at the shelter when he was 6months old and afraid of new things. My DD used him in obediance shows in 4H as a highschooler.
Can you see him?
Oh, and he matches my DH's favorite outdoor rocker. He's petted many-a-dog over the years from that rocker!

10 years agoThis is hilarious! The kitchen we are planning does match our dog! White cabs, black counters. In the sun his fur actually has quite a bit of brown in it, and the color of brown is almost the exact shade we will be using when we refinish the floors! And here is my handsome boy Gil (the top two keep coming out upside-down, but if you click on the photo it comes up properly)...
And the best buddies....

10 years agoTigger matches most of my home. My daughter found him in a pet shop and said we had to get him because he did match my whole house. And you can see he helps out by dusting the tops of my cabinets.......

10 years agoI am not sure that I would want the entire kitchen in gray+white, but our cat definitely matches the accent wall and some decor elements!

10 years agoHey, how did this get past 150 posts?
My countertops are brindle, to match my dog. So is my bedspread.

10 years agoThe puppies have been redecorating the kitchen. They wanted to soften the area with some upholstery and fabric.
They believed electrical cover plate upgrade is mandatory. We'll go metal.
They decided we needed new baseboard, too. And new paint. Design decisions are so exhausting.
