Our friend Alfie has declared that today will be Shabby Chic Day. The idea is to show ways in which you have helped to shabbify (decorate) your home. I certainly have made my share of vomit stains on the carpeting, but Mom and Dad have done reasonably well at getting them out with Stain Shot, or the Bissell cleaner machine (though not completely). I don't have front clawrs, so haven't been able to decorate a couch in that way, but my presence is keenly felt on the family room sofa by the presence of one or more blankies.
This blue and white one often resides at the end of the couch and I get it nice and furred up. This is a great shabby chic decorating touch, both the blanket's presence and the furring. When Mom washes it, the fur doesn't all come off, but forms little balls of fur that stick to the blanket. I think you can see a few in the picture, but believe me, there are many! She tries to pick them off, but never gets them all.
Now actually, my humans have had this couch for nearly 19 years, so I don't actually see how what I do can make it look any shabbier!
Mom said she thought the crossed pawsies were a nice touch. Crossed pawsies for all the humans and animals who aren't feeling tip top to get better soon.
That happens on our sheets. Our dad has purchased a couple of things--on is this thing that he pushes along the sheets and it does come off in a way the washer and dryer doesn't get but it is a lot of work. I think it looks better furred up, but that is just me.
ReplyDeleteOh cool! We have those little balls of fur on EVERYTHING, including mom's clothing! It's the best way to say I love you!
ReplyDeleteSimba, little fur balls are the purrfect shabby chic touch! We love your crossed paws and we're crossing them too for our furiends in poor health and purraying they get better soon!
ReplyDeleteSimba, Great Job !
ReplyDeleteI made fur ball too : )
And My fur is black and white...sometime, she can't blame me 100 % because her hair is black and my dad's hair is white...hee..heh..heh

I think you have done a marvelous job with the blanket, Simba - your humans should let you try your skills on the actual sofa!
ReplyDeleteThe blankie is awesome and yoo are clearly skilled. We are proud of yoo.
ReplyDeleteFur rules at our house. Good job!

Now that's some real talent Simba, you've got the purrfect decorating touch!
ReplyDeleteMummy says no outfit is complete without kitty fur on it. You are doing good work there :)xx
ReplyDeletehe he- our house is full of fur too. M says it's a sign of a happy cat home.
ReplyDeleteSimba, that's especially good because you have a disadvantage of no front claws--so you've done an excellent job of overcoming that limitation and putting your own shabby chic stamp on the decor!

We think you are boing a marvellous furring job on your blue and white blankie Simba. What a demur kitty you are with your crossed paws.

Wow, you have it made with your own blankie. I have blankies too, but I'd rather lay on the brown leather sofa just to make it more furry.l

Nicely done Simba :-)
ReplyDeleteSimba, good job furring up that blanket! We can't believe your mom tries to wash your furs off of it!! Y'know, our mom does the same thing with our blankets...with not much success either.
ReplyDeleteMOM forgot shabby chic day! She needs to get CRACKING! She was waiting for furniture delivery!
ReplyDeleteI love the crossed pawsies. That is so great. Maybe all the sick animals and hooomans will feel better now. We decorate with all our hair too. Take care and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Simba!!
ReplyDeleteWe think you've dont a fabulous job of 'shabbying' it up!

Fanks you for trying the recipe. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely work!! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteVomit stain and fur balls. Great work, Simba!!
ReplyDeleteHi Simba! We have missed visiting you! WE think that you do a great job of furring that blankie up - we do the same at our house! And we get those little fur balls in the wash too - not as fun as the ones we deposit on the carpet, but close!
