We just moved into our new home here in Alpharetta, GA, almost three years ago so I tune into HGTV quite a bit to get decorating ideas and to keep my husband from blowing up the house when he gets the notion to install something on his own (and it’s usually not a good thing that he does).

Needless to say, I was thrilled to see Kenneth Brown, host of the show, reDesign, featured in a small section of In Touch, the December 18th edition. He’s sitting with his two dogs, Oliver and Benson, miniature dachshunds, in the favorite room of his house…

I read his profile at HGTV and he had this to say about his dogs and his house:

I don’t have a showroom for a house. It is beautiful and it’s incredibly well done and I’m proud of it, but it is comfortable and inviting. Even the dogs are all over the furniture.”

Those two dogs, miniature dachshunds named Oliver and Bensen, are part of a weekend ritual that is one of Brown’s favorite times: “I can’t live without my naps on Sunday with Oliver and Bensen right next to me on the sofa. That is the greatest.”
