I picked up this old console television off of a local swap shop and immediately knew I wanted to turn it into a cozy and fun bed for our little Pomeranian, Lilly.
I gutted the TV, added a bottom shelf, and an upper trim piece my husband cut out from scrap wood. I used Zinsser primer, then sprayed Sherman Williams Mariner paint with my handy dandy paint gun.
We added a plywood back I covered in grey and white chevron contact paper I ordered from Amazon, left over from another project.
I picked up some red fabrics at Wal-Mart and sewed Lilly size pillows. I used a wooden letter from Hobby Lobby to outline my "L" before hand painting it in white fabric paint. I also used the original hardware, just spray painted it white.
Added a few more pillows...
I then added this red bucket I had purchased last summer from Dollar General to hold all of Lilly's stuffed animals. "Dream" and "TOYS" were made with my sister-in-law's Cricut.
I think she loves it!!
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
Shona - I love your puppy's new bed! I was wondering - was it hard to take out the tv components out of the cabinet? And how did you dispose of the tv components?
