Doggy Bedroom

by Gary Hardman

An old plastic 1970'S end table at thrift store with cheap frames and outdoor material provide a luxury suite for four legged friends.

First I removed the cabinet doors. Cut material to fit the inside and used spray adhesive to tack it down. Start at one end and spray glue in 4-6 inch sections rolling material onto the inside.

Measure and cut plywood base to fit the inside, add foam padding on top, flip and staple material onto bottom.

Chalk paint and distress. I did not prep surface at all. Apply a coat of wax. Add frames with random pictures of dogs or your own family pictures. 4 hours of labor, $10 for end table, $2 for frames and $4 for material all thrift store finds. Great fun and now doggy bed can be a part of your decor for any room.

Very good idea!! Would be great for cats too. Question: Do your pets actually use it? Sometimes I have provided beds, and for some reason...ignored!! Haha. But looks GREAT.
