I had seen some dog beds made from end tables on the web and decided I would give it a try.
I found an table at the flea market...I think $7.00 and then the fun began. I took it apart, flipped the top and remounted to the base and legs. I added wood finals (from Lowes) to the top of the legs to to finish for a 4-Poster Bed look.
Then I Kilzed the whole thing...
Oh I forgot, I had to remove the legs and add the little bed legs. I offset the hole for the screw so that the legs would rest flat on the surface when replaced...I used wooden drawer knobs for the bed legs.
While I had the legs off, I painted all the little nooks and crannies that were hidden...so now everything has a fresh coat of paint and it is taking shape nicely...
make sure and the detail paint matched the the fabric.
While the paint was drying I got out the sewing matching, ironing board and iron..and continued on...If you sew you know the steps...but if not here is some tips...I ironed the fabric (most of the time you want to wash before you start sewing, but I gave myself plenty of room for shrinkage when I measured my fabric.)
Then I finished the cover and attached bias tape around the whole thing for accent. The cover turned out so cute...I could not stop taking pictures....SMILE!!!
I think I will make a few of these to sell alone..
Dog cushions are expensive...and my experience has been 1st time you wash the cover...it falls apart...So anyone out there need a special cushion for your pooch...just let me know....
So now back to the bed....
MY THIS IS TURNING OUT TOO CUTE!!!!


Now I am thinking...hummmm.........
THIS IS THE PERFECT LITTLE MAMA'S BED FOR HER BABY DOLLS

Pamper your POOCH in STYLE or
