The cutest SF Giants fan.

The guys in the store are pretty excited that baseball season has started again. Everyone got in the spirit. Including the dogs.

Seriously. How cute is Mr. B?

He and Sam are best buddies.

Did the dog eat your couch?

This week is bad doggie week here at Pollin's.

We've had a new customer every day with a piece of furniture that has been eaten by their beloved pooch. I think the dogs are a bit stir crazy and they're taking it out on the furniture.

Caller #1  

"The dog ate the armrest of our leather couch. Can you fix it with the same color leather?"

"Yes."

Caller #2 

"Hello? Our dog ate the pillow on the couch. It's attached. Can you fix it?"

"Yes."

Caller #3

"Hi, our dog ate the foam in the chair cushion and it needs to be replaced. The fabric is fine. He unzipped it."

"Ok. We can fix it. Really? He unzipped it?

30 minutes later the owner is here with the cushion. He's right. The fabric is fine. That is one crafty dog.

Ok. We'll have it ready for you tomorrow"

"You can't do it now? Uh, that's the cushion on my dog's chair. uh.............ok." and he left with his tail between his legs. The dude. Not the dog.

Caller #4

"Hi. My dog ate my sofa...."

"Uh huh. Welcome to 'dog ate my furniture week' here at Pollin's."

Folks, I think it's time to take the dogs out for a walk or a romp on the beach.

Just sayin'.

I'm sure you've been wondering to yourself, "What's new in the world of custom furniture?" I sure wish someone out there had a blog to keep me in the loop.

Ha. Just kidding.

Welcome to our blog anyway. We're going to share with you cool stuff we find, trends in decorating and tips on how to update/refresh your home without spending gobs of money. Unless you want to of course.

Of course we'd really love it if you bought something. That would be fantastic!

So what's the best and least expensive way to refresh your home? Change the pillows. We all love pillows. You can go from nice crisp linens in summer to luscious velvets and wools in the winter with one quick zip of the zipper. The timing is perfect. Summer is over. Fall is here. Time to bring out those autumn shades and put away the pastels of summer.

So that's how we're going to get started - with pillows.

Pillows for your head, your bum, and your mutt.  That's right. Don't forget about the mutts.
 

Here are two of our favorite mutts. Sam in the water, and our sweet Kahlua looking out.

This is not our mutt. But every dog deserves a leather dog bed, as featured on Design Spotter.

We do not, I repeat, DO NOT make these kind of bags yet. Not this year anyway.

So give us a jingle, or stop by to let us know how we can help you refresh your interiors. Most pillows can be created with just a yard or two of fabric and they can make all the difference in the world.

Happy shopping. Woof! Woof!
