Some emails about our Millie sprung up after she modeled our sofa the other day. She is the newest baby around here at 6 months old. Millie is a Long-Haired Mini Dachshund. She's a Red Dapple female and looks like she brushed up against some white paint, thanks to her blond daddy.
Kim, from the wildly popular blog, Dear Daisy Cottage, also has a Long-Haired Dachshund whose name is Maggie. I just love seeing pictures of Maggie. Kim has inspired me to include our dogs in more of my photos. I used Millie as a prop on the sofa shot and she obliged by circling around a few times before snuggling down. But she most definitely prefers laps.
Our floor also appears painted. It is actually a Pergo laminate floor! Unfortunately one can no longer purchase this particular line in the U.S. I'm not even sure of the name of it anymore. We tried replacing some pieces of it and found out it was discontinued in the U.S. and it's now only sold in Europe. But I've seen some look-alike ones floating around. It is the most practical floor, believe it or not.

It has the look of white painted wood, but worn and scuffed and dirty painted wood.
Perfect for our busy family with Millie and friends.
Cute puppy! I've been trying to take more pics of our dogs too. Your floors look great...so durable too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home!

What a sweet puppy! We had a mini dash named Maggie many years ago and she was the dearest little dog. I love your floor too!
ReplyDeleteMillie makes that sofa look so inviting!!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute...your floors look great and your pooch is precious, painted fur and all! :-)

Sweet puppy! I love the floor; we're in the process of finishing our attic and my office (all mine, yay!) will have whitewashed laminate flooring--you're right, it will be perfect for the children and the puppies! Enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteMillie is adorable ♥
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blog!
i was hoping you were going to show me how to paint a wood floor! :) i love yours....we're planning on painting our nursery floor white but need a little direction: )
ReplyDeletetoo bad your flooring is discontinued....it is a perfect blend of white and rustic. and i agree...perfect! :)
I love your pergo floor. I too have laminate floors. We didn't have the white wood option when we picked ours. Shortly after it came out, I was so bummed I missed it. I can't believe they discontinued it! Love your dog. My kids love the pictures with your little puppy in it. Great pictures Rie.
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Maria
so cute! i can hardly get pictures of my dog (an australian shepherd, Ron) because he insists on touching me, leaning on me, licking me... sweet, but messy!
ReplyDeletelove the laminate floors- we actually painted our wood floors cream because we couldn't afford the refinishing $$. i like the look, but i wish it was less dirt attracting! yours look great!
have a great tuesday-

My sister sent me a link to your blog last night and I thoroughly enjoyed perusing it. One of the things I wondered about was whether or not your floor was painted so I am glad you mentioned it today.
ReplyDeleteLove your house...too bad I don't live in NC!
Floor is available in Europe and other places. Just not in the US :( It is called "Pergo Expression Distressed White Oak Plank Laminate Flooring".
ReplyDeleteHere is one place that carries it:

Such a sweet model! Love the floors - I had no idea it was available.
ReplyDeleteOh what a cutie Millie is Rie:) I love your floor! My husband and I lay a Pergo laminate floor in my mother-in-law's farm house and it is so hard wearing and practical. Your white flooring is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteMillie is adorable-she makes me feel guilty that we don't allow our lab on our leather furniture in our family room. I secretly don't yell at her when I catch her up on the slipcovered sofa in the spare room! Your home is lovely and I will be back (came from PSH)

Ok, I love those floors! Thanks for answering about them ~
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - you capture the best views... it's almost like we can feel being there.
You have a houseful! Must be fun ~

Oh she is so cute! I love your floors and would have never guessed they were laminate. That is the finish I would like for my office floors when they are done. Very nice.

Soo cute!
ReplyDeleteJust found your beautiful blog and I'm glad I did!
Greetings from Italy,

The Pergo Floor is just awesome. I love it, and I'm planning to change the floor in our living room with the same one.
ReplyDeleteAnd little Millie is just so adorabe. I love dachshunds and my parents have a normal dachs called Kira. I do actually have several posts of her on my blog ;-)

Marit
Millie's adorable! BTW, where did you get that yummy sweater blanket?
ReplyDeleteshe's darling. We have a chocolate dapple mini long haired Doxie. Her name is Sammi !! Stop by and check her out.
ReplyDeleteAH! Love the puppy!!!! I've wanted one for years but everyone warns me about their health troubles. Are you doing anything special to keep her healthy?
ReplyDeleteMillie is absolutely precious! As is everyone in your family.
ReplyDeleteI've just spent the most glorious time going through your blog... everything is SO inspiring and beautiful here. In the most heavenly way.
Bravo.
