Amongst the many new additions in our house this week along with cute puppy herself, is this ugly (but much-needed) puppy crate which keeps her where we need her to be when necessary.
But it is ugly, and whilst the last few years have seen my houseproudness slowly compromise in increments as two children have grown up into (not always tidy) teenagers, this crate was within my control for a makeover and so a makeover it got.
So one gingham cover and dog blanket later and Lottie has had her first photo shoot. Now we have a cute dog and a cut(er) crate. Now it’s just the teenagers left to tackle…

oohhh, lovely Lottie, what a beautiful addition to your family…we are toying with the idea of a doggie too…though I’m holding back for some reason…guess I know it’ll be me left “holding the dog”! 🙂
Love the up-do of the cage, tres chic! 🙂
ps. thanks for sharing the link to the tall painting…..just stunning..though yes, did entertain the thought “what a plonker!” x

Such a lovely makeover for the puppy crate – and such an adorable little puppy in it! You will have lots of fun with Lottie, I’m sure. And the fabrics in the patchwork are just gorgeous!

Helen, I have to come clean on the patchwork…it’s actually one printed piece of fabric to look like a patchwork piece!

No chance with the teenagers, but Lottie is just lovely and has almost persuaded me to get a dog. (maybe we could just borrow her now and again!!)

That’s a lovely! Perfectly girlie for your pretty dog. We have one of these which one of our cats had to live in for 6 weeks recovering from a car accident, it was grim and wished I’d glamed it up like you have!

I adore Lottie’s puppy quilt and wish I had one as beautiful. In fact think I would quite like to crawl into the puppy crate at some point for a rest! Just dont lock me in. You are one very lucky pup Lottie Leggett xxx
