dimondites

My friend Aaron was over the other night and kept bugging me about “Hey, you have to look at my friend Stephanie’s site. She makes great sustainable dog houses.” Being a product person, I get this a lot. So, naturally, I was invisibly rolling my eyes as I walked to the computer to check out her site, SustainablePet.com.

Awesome stuff. I love the hard architectural elements of the structures integrated with the soft beauty of the plants. Not just a pretty doggie diggs, Oakland designer Stephanie Rubin thought this out quite well. She designed the units to smell good, grow plants, attract butterflies, filter water, insulate, and repel fleas. All naturally.

However, at $6,000 (that’s for the extra large, and I have two so make that $12,000), I’m not sure I would let my dogs near one.


This one would be superb as a Valentines Day gift, if you have tons of money, of course. How great is the heart opening placed on a corner?

This yellow house is a fun architectural structure combined with soft, organic shapes of plants. It is more like a sculpture than a dog house. Simply great.
