Country Decor Blog

I know this is a blog about living simply and living well, but executive editor Suzanne Moutis had a huge laugh at my expense the other day when she saw this awesome photo of my new puppy, taken by photographer Virginia Macdonald. I pride myself on enjoying the “simple things.” A Catahoula Leopard dog puppy wearing a pink studded collar adorned with a faux diamond pave charm is NOT, says Suzanne, “simple.” I disagree. After all, simple to me means quality. The idea that you will spend a little more money on something that will last for longer is a simple concept, I think. Sure my dog isn’t really a girly-girl type, and yes, the bling collar charm may be a little over the top. But surely it’s a simple thing, to take care of a dog, and put an attractive collar on her. Suzanne and I may disagree on what “keeping it simple” means, but when it comes to decor and lifestyle, everyone’s idea of what constitutes will differ. I would love to know what your idea of simple means - please add a comment to let me know
