Tv Console to Dog Bed - Take 2

Easy
A little over a year ago I took this old vintage TV console and attempted to turn it into a dog bed.
The finished result, while having good intentions, just lacked inspiration and any sort of beauty. It was ugly.
I've waited a long time for that lacking inspiration to arrive. I've looked at this ugly cabinet for a year. I couldn't just leave it like this. This project is perfect proof that sometimes even the best intentions don't save you from a flop! This weekend I was finally ready to give it another go!
Turns out all I needed was the right inspiration, and some courage to try something new and bold. I found this great fabric at hobby lobby and decided to try out a Chalky finish paint for my first time. This paint color is called "Treasure" which is appropriate!
He is very happy and so am I. From ugly and boring, to bright bold and beautiful! I'm so glad I gave this piece a second chance. Sometimes the vision doesn't come right away. In this case it took an entire year! But I'm finally happy with how it turned out.
Enjoyed the project?

I'm new to Hometalk. I actually had already seen your tv console dog bed and was just searching for it. I guess I searched in the wrong spot. What a nice surprise though, to actually get a response from the person who made this amazing piece. You've made me look at dog beds in a whole new way. Thanks so much for responding. 😊

How awesome! You should go into the custom dog bed business. I honestly think you would be swamped with orders.
