Smucci Mission

 

"At Smucci pet beds, we believe that beauty and practicality can co-exist, and each original design reflects our thoughtful commitment to this end. Aesthetically beautiful Smucci fabrics are created by us, and used solely to create extraordinarily soft, elegant, and washable pet cushions. The artistry in each pet bed is plainly evident, each being designed and hand crafted and painted by me, my son and local artists... one bed at a time.

Smucci pet beds is not about looking outward to determine what is marketable or might sell, but rather our collective experiences, love, and immeasurable joy we have found in caring for our pets combined with all the natural elements that surround us each day.

In taking care of our pets, they return the favor and in the end they are really saving us... and reminding us of what is truly beautiful. We know that our pets give us their unconditional best even in the worst of times, in return don't they deserve our best?"

Coming Soon... Horicultural Art and Smucci Pet Beds

My landscape partner, Justin Martin, and I have tossed around the idea of creating functional landscape structures such as retaining walls, living arches, and grafted chairs for a few years. We have played with the concept, and have created a few original horticultural pieces.

The first was a living wedding arch for my daughter, Meghan and her husband Justin Lindsey. They were married beneath maple tree saplings harvested from the forest 6 months prior to their wedding date. After planting 3 trees in each huge pot, we wove them together into an arch and added pink bouganvilla. On her wedding day, the incredible living arch was transported to The Toledo Botannical Gardens and adorned with wild Queen Anne's Lace, pink roses and pale green orchids. BREATHTAKING!! Following the wedding, the living arch was planted in her yard.

This is not a new concept, and as a matter of fact, visionaries have tackled this spectacular art form for centuries! Now, my buddy Justin and I will be taking the concept to a new level altogether! We will be growing beautiful pet beds from willow trees that will be harvested and sold as a new Smucci product! There will be a bit of a wait, and we are anticipating a 2 year growth period before the final product is ready to be shipped. But we are committed, moving forward with this innovative idea, and are going to bring the very best for our customers at Smucci pet beds by ddkdesigns,llc!

Custom Smucci Handbags!!

Incorporated into the casual and elegant style of the Smucci Bag are all of the custom Smucci fabrics in a quilted patchwork design. A little bit of K. Spade blended with C. Channel, is a good descriptor for the charming Smucci Bag.
