BLOG

Anyone that reads this blog or knows me well (hopefully if you know me well you also read the blog) knows about my obsession with plaster furniture.  I'm a sucker for the really good stuff from the 1940's, but I also like a deal and when shopping for myself I don't have $1000s to throw at plaster furniture, sigh.  I have been meaning to write about Stray Dog Designs for awhile now.  I used to carry some of their products in my shop, back when I like to think no one had really heard of them.  They have made a name for themselves by designing products for West Elm and most of the line was featured in the home section at Bergdorfs.  They work in metal and papier mache.  Here is a selection of the papier mache pieces that have a plaster look and feel that I love. Not only are their pieces affordable, but they are also made from recycled materials by artists in Haiti and Mexico, so you are doing a little bit of good when you purchase from them! 

I tend to like the pieces in the white, but they offer an array of colors and for a small fee you can give them any Benjamin Moore paint color. For more info check them out at www.straydogsdesigns.com.
