We caught up with Clary Bosbyshell to learn more about her dogs, George and Magnolia, and the Dogwood bed she designed for Magnolia to match their bedroom.
Most importantly - tell us about your dogs! Name, breed, size, age? How would you describe his/her personality?
George- King Charles spaniel, he is a LOVE, cuddle BUG! Age 2
Magnolia- Tri Colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is my old lady, sweet and sleeps all the time. Age 10
Where in your home is your Dogwood bed? Can you tell us about the room a bit?
It is in our master bedroom. George loves to sleep in the bed with us so this has turned into Magnolia’s bed. She has a hard time jumping in the bed and as she has gotten older likes her space. She loves her new bed !
What fabric did you choose and how does it work with the existing design elements? What inspired the overall combination?
It is the same fabric as on our headboard by Jane Shelton. The fabric is a floral chintz in icy blues so for the basket, I paired this with a Benjamin Moore match to Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light.
What is your general approach to living with a dog? When designing your home was there anything you took into consideration given your dog?
I let our dogs in all the rooms of our house, they sleep on all the sofas and beds. They are such joys that I just let them use the house, nothing is too precious and can always recover or replace.

Meet Julia Amory - the founder of India Amory, a lifestyle and home goods brand working with authentic Indian block prints that brings beautiful textiles to the tables, closets, and more to homes around the country.
We caught up with Julia to learn more about her dogs, Grace and Hudson, and her India Amory x Dogwood bed. Instructions for how to order an India Amory cushion cover for your Dogwood bed are at the end!
Tell us about your dogs! Name, breed, size, age? How would you describe their personalities?
We have two dogs, a 9 lb English Cream Dachshund named Gracie and an enormous lab mix named Hudson. Gracie is the boss - very demanding, naughty and disobedient and Hudson is a happy blob who might be part sloth. They're very good friends and she bosses him, and everyone else in the house around all day.
Where in your home is your Dogwood bed? Can you tell us about the room a bit?
Our Dogwood beds are upholstered in India Amory Legume and work perfectly in our kitchen in Southampton which is a similar color scheme. The high gloss finish of the beds echoes the painted white floors and look clean and crisp in the space. Since it's a room we all gather in when people are cooking it's so nice for the dogs to have their own chic place to hang as well.
What fabric did you choose and how does it work with the existing design elements? What inspired the overall combination?
The fabric we chose was what precipitated Emily and my idea to offer Dogwood beds in India Amory fabrics - we've been friends for a long time and it's been so fun to collaborate and bring our two companies together. I chose Legume as it's one of my favorite IA prints, hides dirt and looks crisp and perfect in our green and white kitchen.
What is your general approach to living with dogs? When designing your home was there anything you took into consideration given your dogs?
Dogs rule our life....they're all over ALL of our furniture. In an attempt to conceal paw prints we use vintage quilts on most of our upholstery and throw them in the wash or switch them out weekly....prints are also a great way to conceal evidence of dogs which makes the IA fabrics the perfect option for your Dogwood bed!
STEP 1
Head to India Amory Tablecloths Page and pick a round OR rectangular tablecloth in stock on our site.
Please note ONE rectangular tablecloth can make:
If you would like to make a different configuration of dog beds (i.e. 2 large beds), you will need to order more than 1 tablecloth.
STEP 2
At India Amory checkout put the Dogwood address into the shipping fields (see below). Please checkout separately if you are ordering more than your IA x Dogwood tablecloth.

Cleaning & Care
To prevent dust, dirt, and pet hair accumulation, we recommend regular vacuuming or brushing on your cushion cover.
To clean your bed fabric, remove insert and either dry clean or wash on delicate and air dry.
We recommend using Scotchguard Fabric Water Shield, which can be found on Amazon.com.
]]>History: The use of scroll motifs in textiles has existed in our culture since the early 18th century. Inspired by Islamic and Renaissance scrolls and arabesque patterns, this print evokes luxury and is rich in energy as it embodies an endless scroll-like pattern of curls and leaves.
Colourway: White background with scrollwork motif in rich cobalt and royal blues.
Scale: This is a medium scale fabric so is versatile and can be paired with larger scale patterns or solids.
How to Use It: Because it is such a classic design, Cornelia can really be a chameleon and look well situated in everything from the kitchen to the bedroom.
Pairs Best With: This fabric looks clean and crisp with a white basket but we love the vintage vibe of using it with either the dark or light stain. If you are really "feeling blue" it looks great with the Navy basket as well!
Fabric Contents: 100% Cotton
Fabric Durability: 51,000 Double Rubs (Heavy Duty)
Fabric Care Instructions: To prevent dust, dirt, and pet hair accumulation, we recommend regular vacuuming or brushing of your cushion cover. For overall cleaning, all stocked fabrics are cleaning code S, meaning that they are Dry Clean Only.
We also highly recommend using Scotchgard fabric water shield spray if you would like your cushion cover extra protected, which can be purchased on Amazon or at your local hardware store.

We caught up with Becky Nielsen to learn more about her dog Charlie and the Dogwood bed she designed for her new home in Venice Beach.
Most importantly - tell us about your dog! Name, breed, size, age? How would you describe his/her personality?
Charlie! He is a pomapoo (pomeranian/poodle mix) and turned 10 in January. He is my first NYC apartment dog and has been with me through my entire adult life (New York City, to LA). He's very friendly and sweet, but a little anxious in his old age. He loves everyone and everything, but mostly loves to be held or snuggle up with a toy in his bed.
Where in your home is your Dogwood bed? Can you tell us about the room a bit?
It's in my Dining Room - Charlie lays in it while we eat each meal. The bed sometimes moves around the house with us because he loves it so much and understands it’s “his bed” and now goes there as a command to sit and chill out ;)
What fabric did you choose and how does it work with the existing design elements? What inspired the overall combination?
I chose a custom Rogers and Goffigon fabric (one of my favorites that has now been discontinued!). It's a beautiful light aqua block print.
What is your general approach to living with a dog? When designing your home was there anything you took into consideration given your dog?
I have to say I'm spoiled with a small, hypoallergenic dog. He's very clean, and doesn't take up a lot of space. We let him on all the furniture. If I were to have a larger dog, I think I would be much more protective of my furniture.
