    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

We don't deny it—neutrals absolutely have their place in the context of your cabinet. A white dinner set is a definite staple, one you'll turn to time and again over the years. But while monochrome dinnerware has plenty of longevity, it can be a little short on flair. And that's where colorful accent pieces come in. Place vibrant glassware or serving plates alongside your cream set and watch your tablescape come to life before your eyes—bold color adds texture that calm, dependable neutrals just can't achieve on their own.

With this in mind, we went ahead and rounded up some of our favorite colorful glass pieces on the market. From blush-hued Champagne coupes (from Martha's very own collection!) to blue-swirled salad plates (how's that for a first course?), these pieces were designed to please. That's why they're perfect for entertaining—swap out your typical crystal glasses for olive green tumblers, for example, and watch how fast an often overlooked essential becomes a major talking point. We also looked beyond the place setting when curating this selection; you'll find a selection of extras that will take your dinner table to the next level. From hand-blown glass vases (in the most modern, moody colorway) to multi-hued containers that can be repurposed as salt cellars, we have everything you need to craft a nuanced setup.

And did you think we'd forget about dessert? Be sure to bookmark the glass cake stand, which is so beautiful that it will inspire you to bake. Perhaps best of all, these pieces aren't just for entertaining. Feel free to up the ante at your next family dinner by setting table with beautiful, special pieces that make a night at home a little more exciting. Ahead, some of our favorite ways to add all the colors of the rainbow to your tabletops and cabinets.
