The Rural Modernist himself became an animal convert as an adult and actually penned a piece on this very subject with pets ensconced in George Nelson-esque pieces and other modernist delights. Modernica, fabulous purveyors of modernist furnishings, is seeking submissions of pets on modern furniture. Here's a chance for your pet to go to a place where they're not supposed to go and you may be handsomely rewarded. Now, really, are you sure you still want them off the furniture? Please welcome our latest columnist to The Rural Modernist team: Carol VanderKloot of cvk ink. This childhood chum of mine specializes in media relations and communications for the design community, so she will surely be sharing scoops and insider information long before you read about it anywhere else.
I launched my first blog, Doodle Whore in 2006 as a repository for my doodles and observations on popular culture (OK, mainly Britney, cough cough).But I also have a passion for antiquing, flea marketing, interiors, art, crafts, music, food, and architecture which I wanted to blab about, but it really didn't fit in with my trashy Doodle Whore oeuvre. I'm a voracious reader of design blogs and shelter mags, but I find that many are simply too girly, too decorator-y, too serious, or just too perfect for me. If I have to read one more story about Hollywood Regency slipper chairs or floral abstract poppy patterned tea towels I'll barf.
So here I give you my perspective as The Rural Modernist: an illustrator and greeting card peddler living two hours north of New York City in the Catskills with his boyfriend and dogs, listening to The Smiths and Madonna while rearranging the furniture, surfing the net, scavenging through barns and tag sales, watching bad t.v., and keeping the bears out of the bird feeder.
Yours truly, The Rural Modernist

my Scotty destroyed my "modern" large-screen laptop so I am keeping her confined to my old-fashioned non-sleek upholstery. She's a dog from an era gone by so I think cottage style suits her (and my wallet!)
