Every great interior design project begins with a spark of inspiration and for us, that spark starts with a pencil (or Apple pencil sometimes) by our own Jane Gray. Stray Dog Designs hand-drawn creative process evolves from pen to plug in, bringing our beautifully hand crafted light fixtures to life. Here is a glimpse of how we create lighting inspiration, from sketch to shine, offering you artistic, unique statement lighting for your home.
The Persephone Mirror | A Decorative Mirror for Modern Interiors
A simple pencil drawing evolved into an artful statement piece of an oval mirror wrapped in bold black-and-white stripes and crowned with a gilded vessel of overflowing hand-formed wheat. Every detail is shaped, painted, and finished by our artisans in San Miguel de Allende, resulting in a mirror that blends artistic craftsmanship and designer-quality materials. This mirror is a standout accent for entryways, powder rooms, or curated gallery walls.
The Angel's Trumpet Pendant | An Elegant Pendant Light for Kitchens & Entryways
From a rough sketch that captures the elegance and drama of a blooming trumpet flower. Our artisans carefully translate lines into three-dimensional form, shaping delicate papier-mâché petals, layering non-toxic paints, and adding gilded tin accents to create a pendant that is both sculptural and functional. The final piece, with its 13″ height and diameter, white petals, chartreuse highlights, and gold-accented interior, is a delightful pendant light that will look lovely over your kitchen island or countertop!

With its handcrafted construction, bold color variants (which we have a large variety of PLUS offer custom color options for your needs on many of our pieces) and thoughtful design details, this piece is more than just a wall light, it is functional art for interior design lovers, stylists, and decorating projects alike.
