Animal
House Style
Designing
a Home to Share with Your Pets
By Julia Szabo
“Living
with animals can present some interesting challenges. But whether
it’s behavioral problems, allergies, relocating a household,
or removing muddy paw prints from the kitchen floor, it’s
nothing that can’t be overcome with caring, creativity,
and commitment.” -- Julia Szabo
Szabo
is here to clear up the misconception that homes with pets are messy
and chaotic. She wants to help you design a home you can share with
your pet. She shares some bright, contemporary pictures and stories
to give you some ideas. Mary Tyler Moore writes the Forward. Laurie
Smith, from Trading Spaces, is included with her black lab, as well
as others in Szabo’s line of work. The author mentions the
humane society often. It’s obvious she has your pets in mind
when she offers ideas for wall paint, flooring, furniture, beds
for both you and your pets, and much, much more. You may not agree
with some of the styles she has chosen to show, but you can still
take away some innovative ideas to help you and your pets live in
a safe, attractive environment.
Animal
House Style is uplifting and motivating. It’s an imaginative
book, perfect for your coffee table or as a gift for a friend.
