Homage
As we were making our story come to life in the decor of Hound House, we knew we would incorporate many family items that we both hold dear. Our families are an important part of our lives, and, as we get older, we appreciate our roots more and more. Among the antique shop and flea market finds, whimsical taxidermy, and other things that have found their way to us you are sure to find a family memento, or two. These are the kinds of artifacts that add soul and your history to your house. Of course, we try to think of interesting ways to pay homage to those we treasure so much.
