How It Began

My name is Piccolo. My parent's refer to me as Prince Piccolo...They treat me like Royalty. I prefer to think of myself more as a "Boss", if you know what I mean. Lucky me, my mom is an interior stylist/ designer so my surroundings are all things beautiful and luxurious. I must say, I'm living the dream. Her latest line began one day when she was experimenting with diamond tufting on a mini headboard. It came out so fabulous that it took on a life of it's own. Suddenly beds were popping up around me left and right. I felt like I was living in a furniture store, "Who does that!?" I spent my day's longing from one bed to the next unable to decide which one I was going to make my own. I knew she was up to something; There's no possible way we were going to live in a furniture store! Sure enough the brainstorming began...What we were going to name this new line that was born over night? It was up and running and the kitchen was no longer a kitchen but a manufacturing company. my mom had turned into a raging workaholic, my poppa's garage into a workshop and he was on a mission cutting as many frames as he could to keep up with mom. Countless trip's to the fabric store, hardware store, hammers banging, staples flying, sewing machines going and the beds just kept piling up. All I did, was what I do best...look handsome and lounge in luxury...Don't get me wrong, jumping from bed to bed, I was starting to feel like the Goldie Locks story.


Then one day as she was working she yelled clear out of nowhere, "Piccolo Designer Pet Furniture!" Voila!! A new line was born. (Piccolo means small in Italian). P.S. "There's nothing small about me". Not only do I have a huge personality, I'm a foodie at heart and now I've taken on a modeling career...Fortunate for me I was used to the camera. Since the day my parents took me home I feel as though I have been living in the eyes of the paparazzi. Seems that no matter what I was doing my photo was always being taken. Whether I was learning to make gravy with my poppa, traveling the world, or just modeling a new outfit "Hence...my wardrobe is getting larger then life", and the flashes keep going... 

So now the kitchen is back to normal function as it should be. Wonderful aroma's are once again in the air and the garage is still a workshop were all the magic happens. All the beds are in storage and I was able to keep my favorite. I started this blog so all my friends and fans could follow me and my fabulous life as a model @Piccolo Designer Pet Furniture via SaraiMichael Designer Collections, my travels and food trots, after all I am a foodie at heart....
