Stray Dog Designs
100% Original designs * Hand Crafted by artisans in Haiti and Mexico * Assembled in the United States * Created and Shipped with recycled products * Profits shared with less fortunate families & their pets
It sounds like a business model that is too good to be true, but really Stray Dog Designs is all of that and more!! Having been featured in national publications over and over again, Stray Dog Designs has earned its reputation as QUALITY company with exceptional products.
With creativity oozing from the pages of their website, I hardly know where to start on fun furniture and accessories that will fit perfectly into your Rustic * Western * Vintage abode… Ferdinand the Bull seems as good a start as any!!
Ferdinand the Bull, along the rest of the PAPIER-MACHE MENAGERIE, is hand made by
artisans in Haiti. Besides being perfect for a farm house, Ferdinand is also available in 14 colors!! While the white bull{LEFT} would be a unique addition to your white peely-paint bedroom, the chartreuse bull {BELOW} will really make a statement!!
Another papier-mache item available in many colors is the Funky Faux Bois Mirror {BELOW}. The perfect size for a guest bath or entry hall, Stray Dog Designs has several other MIRRORS that would also add a creative spark to your space.
I have had an affection for small tables for years – the perfect ones are light-weight, easy to move & store, and have a transitional use as a stool. That would make the STOOLS from Stray Dog Designs PERFECT – the Aloe Design {BELOW} is my favorite – even better in cactus green {or any of the other 14 colors}!!
Let’s move on to the eclectic LIGHTING offered by Stray Dog Designs. Like all of their products, the lights are designed by company co-founder, Jane Gray. Quirky designs, like the lamps {BELOW}, usually start with an idea and simple drawing by Jane – the artists of Mexico and Haiti, supported by the sustainable jobs they have with Stray Dog Designs, then bring the drawings to life.

I want to be sure to mention Stray Dog Design’s CASE GOODS. They offer several pieces of furniture, all of them hand crafted using ponderosa pine. The English Dresser {BELOW} is similiar to the dressers I have in my boys’ bunk bed room. I paired two dressers like this one {mine are antiqued red} with log bunk beds. They are big, strong dressers that will grow with my little ones, just like these – and sitting next to the log bed makes them really POP!! This dresser, along with the other furniture from Stray Dog Designs, can also be ordered in other colors… too fun!!
