		<description><![CDATA[Embracing your animal instincts in design. eing off my feet these past few weeks due to my foot surgery had me spending inordinate amounts of time with my beloved dogs and while staying down has been beyond difficult, having them around makes it all better.  Despite the pain of recovery, I found myself smiling! As I looked around from my perch on the bed or on the sofa,  I  started to take note of all the things in my home decor that had a touch of inspiration from the wonderful world of animals.  A print here, an accessory there. It got me to thinking that perhaps it's time to dedicate a blog to animals and how there are countless ways to incorporate them into your interior for a bit of wild and whimsical fun!]]></description>
