Our two sweet rescue kitties Marlo and Gladys asked if they could take over the blog today to tell you about two of their favorite gifts from the 2024 season: the Porto Carrier and Kip Cat Cushion, both from our go-to pet furniture brand, Tuft + Paw. We’ve been long-time fans of their high end pet furniture, litter, and treats, so it only made sense to spoil our girls with a couple of new pieces from their collection. Keep scrolling to read our full review of both the carrier and cushion in case you’ve been meaning to treat your own pets to something nice in honor of the new year.

Kip Cat Cushion:

As you may know, I like to move things around in our house. No piece of furniture is ever really permanently situated in any given room because I’m simply that addicted to change. The same goes for our pet accessories. You’re seeing our girls’ new Kip Cat Cushion pictured in our guest room in today’s post, but I’ve since moved it to my office so they can lounge with me while I’m working.

Point being that I really appreciate how moveable this pet bed is! It’s as light as a bed pillow, but the anti-slip bottom makes it so that it doesn’t budge wherever I set it down. The faux shearling cover is super soft, and the concave shape of the bed makes it ideal for curling up against. I’ll often walk into the room and find one of our cats’ toys lying in the bed making me think that I must have just missed either a really epic play session (we ordered the “Wide” size, so that it’s big enough for play), or a really solid nap.

Porto Carrier:

I could go on and on about the awesome features of the Porto Carrier (like the water-resistant canvas, removable faux shearling mat, multiple zippered entry options, and breathable mesh windows), but I think the best proof I can give to you of a high rating is the fact that my vet likes this carrier! She has traditionally been resistant to fabric zippered pet carriers when I’ve asked her about them in the past, so I was nervous about showing up with this one in hand. Happily, she was really impressed by the design and functionality of the carrier, so I could breath a sigh of relief.

It really is an amazing crate. Gladys goes in without a fight, and seems to like the soft mat (I haven’t had to put Marlo in yet, but I have high hopes that she’ll be just as relaxed). I like that you can unzip the flaps on either side or opt for top entry in case your kitty refuses to come out the sides. There are pockets so you can tuck away vet bill receipts and instructions, and the hidden structural panels for added stability give me lots of peace of mind. It’s also airline-approved in case you and your pets are big travelers. My only complaint is that you can’t really see through the mesh to gaze at your kitty while she’s tucked away in the carrier, but that’s not really necessary. I still give it a firm five stars.

Our pets are our kids since we’ve opted to be human-child-free adults, so we love spoiling them with the best of the best when it comes to treats, bedding, and toys. I can say without a doubt that Tuft + Paw really is the best. The items in their collection are definitely on the higher end in terms of price point, but the quality of those pieces convinces me that it’s worth the investment.

As a fellow pet parent, I’m sure you’ve noticed just how hard it is to find good looking cat furniture and accessories, too. That’s another reason why I love shopping with Tuft + Paw. Their sleek designs seamlessly integrate into any modern home. They make a statement, but also aren’t in your face in case you want to style them in a way that doesn’t make them a focal point (like a litter box).

What would you treat your cat to from this lineup? And see my other review of their ultra mod pet furniture here.

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely holiday and that you were able to spend it with all of your favorite people in your very favorite places! I’m excited to kick off 2025 with a brand new room makeover story focused in my tiny square home office. If you’ve been following along for a while, then you know this room has gone through a lot of changes in the past two years. We removed the old wallpaper and I painted the room white. Then, I repainted the room a rosy terracotta color, stopping the paint about 18 inches from the ceiling to give the room a bit of dimension and interest. This time, I wanted to take that design concept one step further with a wallpapered border accent, and I figured it was a good time to try out a new paint color for fun while I was at it. Keep scrolling to see how it all came together.

Those photos above are a reminder of the soft pink paint color that I had on the walls for the past year. I liked it, but I think it was just one of those colors that loses its charm after so long. I was ready for a change. I did also feel like the pinky/beige paint sort of clashed with the beautiful tan custom area rug that I aded to the room earlier this year that I had no intention of changing out anytime soon. Like I said, it was simply time to mix things up, and I decided to turn to one of my favorite tried and true paint colors as a starting point for the makeover: “Halcyon Green” from Sherwin-Williams.

I’ve used “Halcyon Green” in all three of the houses John and I have lived in together (and over at parents’ new house, too!). It’s such a great soft teal blue/green color, with the perfect amount of desaturated richness. The plan, then, was to repaint the lower 3/4 of the room in “Halcyon Green,” and then I would cover the blank top 1/4 of the room with new patterned peel-and-stick wallpaper from Fancy Walls. I thought this “Minimalist Plants” wallpaper would make the two-toned effect look more intentional, and I wanted to bring even more attention to this design accent by installing a vintage-inspired trim piece where the paint met the wallpaper.

I hung the wallpaper sample up on the wall in my office along with a paint chip of the new paint color for a week or two, and ultimately gave the combination a resounding “Yes!” So, I placed my order for the full run of wallpaper and decorative trim, and then I hopped over to the hardware store to get my gallon of new paint.

I started by measuring the room and cutting the trim pieces to size on my miter saw, then I painted them to match the would-be new color of the walls. I nailed the trim in place once the paint had dried, caulked the seams and nail holes to make them disappear, and finally painted the rest of the room its new “Halcyon Green” color with the help of my dad since I was still pretty sick at this point. The final touch? Hanging new wallpaper, of course! This was actually the easiest part of the entire room makeover, and I had it done in under an hour using my favorite trusty wallpaper smoothing tool and a fresh razor blade.

It feels like my home office has been through quite a few makeovers since we moved here in 2022, but this is easily my favorite look in its evolution. I think the blue/green paint color makes my wood furniture pop, and the wallpaper and trim combination at the top of the room gives the space a British cottage vibe that I’m really loving at the moment. The whole space looks so sweet to me, and it seems to fit the age of the house better now. I’m even considering adding crown moulding at the very tippy top of the room to mimic the look of nearly all of the other rooms in our 1960s ranch. That would be the cherry on top of this makeover, don’t you think? Let me know what you think in the comments!
