I’m not quite sure how I first stumbled upon Stray Dog Designs… I think it was one afternoon as I was tediously doing my catalogue reading when I saw it… the bright blue “artichoke lamp.”

Not only was it funky and different, it intrigued me to venture to its website and see what other treasures might be hidden among the pages. I didn’t have to look far, as Stray dog designs is a diamond in the rough. Their lighting is fun and whimsical, perfect for a kids room, or a room that needs a shot of color or a bit of personality. Their accessory pieces are bold and dynamic, like the customizable “peace antelope” that is available in 14 different colors and made from recycled materials by artisans in Haiti.

Who knew being “green” was going to be so fun?
Best of all, the pieces on the site are hand-made with custom colors, and a portion of each purchase price is donated to a charitable organization. A company with bold design, and a heart… now that is refreshing. Check out Stray Dog Designs at http://www.straydogdesigns.com/
