Hog Heaven

We fell in love with the leather pig standing guard in Nate Berkus's master bath (featured in our July/August issue), and decided everyone ought to have one. Turns out we're not the only ones in the design community who've gone hog-wild—pigs are everywhere. Here's the 411 on Berkus's pet and a few others.
