I am proudly owned by two Boston terriers. I'm just a bit obsessed with Boston terrier decor, but I also don't want my home to seem like a shrine to my beloved Frisco and Buxton. In this ideabook you'll find ways to incorporate your four-legged friends (Boston terrier or not) into your home decor. — Michelle from Stuttering Shell
Dipper Pet Jar, Chalkboard - $28 » Honestly, I would probably use these jars for something other than dog treats. I love the chalkboard label, as it contrasts nicely with the stark white jar and lid. It would look great on the kitchen counter or tucked neatly in the pantry.
Boston Terrier Print - $110 » I'm all about artwork for the walls of my home. A bare wall stresses me out. How fun would it be to have a blueprint drawing of your favorite dog, cat or even horse? This shop just might have the perfect gift for the animal lover in your life.
Bone-shaped Pet Bowl Mat - $22 » The dog food bowl and water dish in my house are kept in the kitchen next to the refrigerator. I keep a small mat underneath to keep the dish from moving and to catch small spills. I love these colorful bone-shaped mats from Ballard Designs. They would be a cute and colorful addition underneath your dog's food and water dishes.
Boston Terrier (with Star) Designer Hanging Feeder - $175 » This metal dog feeder can be mounted, so not only does it look stylish, but it saves space, too.
Trellis Pet Crate Cover - $85 » I have a dog crate at home that's used when I need to leave the house. I wish there were a way to cover the pet crate because it's a big, bulky eyesore. This cover from Ballard Designs is a nice way to camouflage your pet's wire crate.
Naked Decor Doggie Style Reversible Boston Terrier Pillow - $49.95 » Plain pillows are boring, so dress up your couch or favorite seat with a pillow that features man's best friend. I love this Boston terrier pillow, especially the profile image. It reminds me of my Frisco!
Doggie Row of Hooks - $44 » I love this Doggie Row of Hooks from Pottery Barn. I only wish it came in the silhouette of a Boston terrier.
Floats My Boat Buoy Toys - $14 » These are dog toys I would not mind in my living room. I love that they are mini boat buoys. They really float, and I bet Fido wouldn't mind if you used them as decor too.
Boston Terrier Dog Print - $119 » You know me and artwork — I gotta have it! Ballard Designs offers quite a few different dog prints, so if you're a lab lover or a cocker spaniel owner (just to name a couple), you're sure to find a print for your home. The best thing about these is that they come matted, framed and ready to hang.
Chevron Stripe Pet Food Canister - $59 » My dog's food is kept in a plastic bin tucked away in the pantry. But how fun would it be to use a chevron tin for their kibble? Slap a vinyl monogram or name on it, and you've got something customized for your very own four-legged friend.
Personalized Dog Pillow Covers - $35.50 » A personalized pet pillow – why not? I have a Pottery Barn pillow on the leather club chair in my living room that features a Boston terrier. I love it and so do the dogs.
Doggie Toy Chest - $69 » A bit of a splurge, but how cute is this doggy toy chest? Honestly, my Bostons would probably chew it up (I have to use a small wire-rimmed basket), but this would be a cute and clever spot to hide the pup's toys when company comes over. Or if you're packing for a road trip, why not use this to pack a few of your pup's favorite things?
Dog & Fire Hydrant Salt & Pepper Shakers - $8.95 » Do you have a sense of humor? If so, keep these in your kitchen and use them at your next dinner party. Ha!
Panel Zigzag Dog Gate - $129 » This is not your typical baby gate — and for that matter, it's not your typical dog gate either. This zigzag gate from Orvis provides pet owners with a temporary solution for keeping your four-legged friend out of specific rooms. I like that its wood tone and can work with any decor. And the fact that it can be folded and stored away is an added bonus.
Rectangular Canvas Dog Bed Cover - $29.50 » There's just something very classy (and nautical) about the Lands' End canvas dog beds. They would work well in any room of the house and can be easily cleaned.
Pet Feeder Station - $299 » This is one way to streamline all of your pet's things into one area, and you can close the bin and shut the drawer so that no one will ever know that this is where your pet eats. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Boston Terrier Dog Art Print, 'Everything Will be OK' by Going Places 2 - $14 » A graphic print of your favorite pooch adds just the right bright spot to any wall. This Etsy seller offers artwork that features a variety of canine breeds.
Wrought Iron Raised Mission-style Dog Feeders/Dog Bowls - $49 » These wrought iron pet feeders from Orvis are a great way to feed your pet. They come in a variety of sizes and heights to accommodate your dog. I like that they're not very clunky looking and that you can see through the stands. These could almost blend in with your home decor.
DenHaus BowHaus Modern Dog Crate - $599.99 » This ridiculously expensive dog crate could double as an end table, no?
'I Love My Dog and My Dog Loves Me' Wall Art - $69.99 » I think this wall art sums up how anyone feels about their dog. And the best part is that it's from Walmart of all places!
