You don't have to ask me twice... if one WANTS.
One should GET! It's just going to drive you nuts until you give in to it! Treat yourself! {I'm a huge fan of doing that}.

bluehydrangea said...

that is crazy cute!! I can't believe you found him in all those photos...definitely a need!

Kristine at The Painted Hive said...

There's a fine line between 'want' and 'need' I've found!

The Zhush said...

Debra and Sissy, right now the Jeff Koons puppy vase sells for roughly $7,500.00, IF you can even find one...thinking I will not be getting one in the near future :(

SabinePsynopsis said...

Is the cute doggy really a vase? I immediately know several people who would die to have it (dog owners, mostly). Lovely!

Verbena Cottage said...

needs and wants-sometimes it gets you at your weakest moments...it is such a sophisticated dog with the price tag. i will just set it aside to dream about. lovely! maryann

Acanthus and Acorn said...

I am so amazed you found this many images of this little pup! I think I will have to pass on this doggie in the window....I can't afford his pedigree!!!

Anita Davis said...

ack!! that looks just like my doggie!!!! :)

Scientific Housewife said...

Absolutely!

Naomi said...

$7,500?? Whoa who are these people who can afford that? Super cute tho!

Staley Mc said...

That puppy is precious! Not for 7,500 though but it really is so cute!

Sarah Esther said...

that's not a pupp price!! hahah but so cool you found all of those photos of it

Cashon&Co said...

Jeff Koons has always fascinated me....I like it best on the black geometric hall table. What a contrast! The title of your post made me chuckle, because last night as I was watching the show Hoarders: Buried Alive (talk about fascinating!) the therapist was telling one of the hoarders "I think you are confusing Need with Want" Well, DUH!! WE ALL DO!

Debby Lee said...

That is so adorable. Does someone make a knock off?

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

I love it! Jeff Koons is amazing. I definitely couldn't afford it though. Love how you found so many images of it!

Hope u had a great weekend :)

Can imagine so!! Have a wonderful new week. xoxo

Kathysue said...

I have not seen this darling yet very expensive little dog. He is awfully cute but boy is he a pretty penny. He will become your new quest to find one that looks similar, I am sure. I guess he is a want for sure, but that is OK to want little pretties, You just keep wanting and doing these fun post, I love it! Kathysue

SogniSorrisi said...

Ah, the age old want v. need.

Love the new look!

Smile, Emily said...

that is the most hilarious thing. I like him most hanging out in the kitchen ;) very unexpected.

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle said...

Most things that I claim I need for my house are wants only, but a girl can't control what she wants, right?

That was the first time I've seen that little doggy. I need to get out more

Housewife Bliss said...

I want one as well. I found you via the shiny pebble (she is so grand) and funny enough I have the light fixture you have on your logo image but in chrome and crystal. Love your blog.

Averill said...

Adorable but $7500?!?!?!?! Even for Koons, that's incredible. It's CERAMIC.

annechovie said...

Very cute, Sue. I love the creamy whiteness of it, too. Have a fab Monday. xx

sara said...

I totally want that myself! :)

shari @ little blue deer said...

What is it about Westies?! Great post!!

Emily said...

That is totally fun...you should make that a HAVE instead of a want ;)

Melanie's Randomness said...

awww!! Now that's a doggie I'd love to have in my house!!

Marija said...

I have to admit, I have never understood the intense popularity of that little pooch! Is it Mr. Koons? Or the dog? Hmmmm. I do think it's a creative little vase, though! Marija

pve design said...

Wow, was the song "How much is that doggie in the window?" befitting for this Koons porcelain. Considering my last bet bill, that pooch may be much more economical and demand no walks or treats.

pve design said...

oops. typing way to fast as I have to walk my pooch-
bet should read "VET"-

sketch42 said...

Am i the only one who thinks that is a tad depressing?

Sarah Bartholomew said...

Wow!! That is one expensive but cute dog!

Style Scout said...

SO, so cute...but think of all that you could buy for $7500?! You could buy many random Chanel pieces for that. ha! Your new blog layout looks great!

pk @ Room Remix said...

OMG! I can't believe you found so many inspiration photos with the same puppy in them. I agree $7500 could be much better spent, but I hope you can find a knock off of some sort somewhere to satisfy the want. :-)

Dancing Branflake said...

So so cute! I agree that it's a bit pricey. But there are definitely more expensive decor items out there!

abigail said...

Oh the Jeff Koons puppy, I want it!

Dayka (Life +Style) said...

love that greek key table, and that's a cute dog!

Rhiannon Nicole said...

Susan said...

I guess I read your posts out of order. Regardless loving la puppy... once again

Mara said...

oh I love! I'd want it too :)

Splendid Willow said...

Ok girlie, I must have been sleeping under a rock or something, because I have totally missed this handsome doggie. But on the other hand I don't have close to a $8000 to spend on a vase either.! Haha! But your photo collection is tres chic! (As always!). Happy new week, friend!

Bardot in Blue said...

OMG I adore him but I can't believe what I have read in the comments that he costs soooooooo much! We should get in the business of knockoffs together!

xoxo Bardot in Blue

PPS I am hoping you little package is well on its way to you...let me know when you get it :-D

Chic Coles said...

NEED!!!!!! We have a westy and although 7500 is a bit steep, if it were a lot cheaper it would be so cute to put in our living room!

Jeanette {A Passion for Home} said...

That doggy gets around! And wow, $7500. Oh my. It is adorable though!

Emily A. Clark said...

I've never seen these. Have I been under a rock? Something about it strikes me as funny :)

La Dolfina said...

OMG this is the cutest post ever!!!
Seeing that pooch in all those rooms is hilarious and the price tag is somewhat unbelievable. It's just too cute for words:)

Kwana said...

Now I WANT too! So cute.

Dobbygirl said...

A total WANT, so cute. I find I confuse "need" with "want" more often than not - LOL! Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting.

yayellie said...

If only I didn't NEED to have my rent check ready every month... I just found a flowery version that Koons did on Artnet online auctions- https://www.artnet.com/AUCTIONS/Pages/Lots/24892.aspx?q=SearchIn%3DPrints%26sortby%3Dlowest%26scroll%3D0%26page%3D1%26view%3Dbrief I'm in love!
