Dog bed for the pup with a little edge!

Handpainted dog bed for the little tough guy (or girl)!

good frontThis dog bed has been in the works for a few weeks.  It is inspired by my husbands comment that everything I make is so “girly”.  I decided he was right and it was time to make something for the dog with a slight edge to their personality.  My husband actually constructed the wood bed for me (impressive heh?).  He cut the head board in a traditional Hanover style.

I hand painted the design on the head board.  The inspiration for the head board is our Lhasa mix, Lacey Mae.  She rides Harley with us and rocks her own doo rags and riding goggles.  She is truly a little biker babe and looks great lounging in her bad girl bed.  The lettering on the head board is done with raised wood letters.

The cushion is faux leather around 2″ HiDensity Smart Foam.   I had an absolute blast designing and making this bed…what do you think?

This and several other of my beds are available at my ETSY shop.  Looking for ideas to make your own dog beds…check out my Bed Gallery and my Craft Page for ideas and tutorials.

The next bed is going to be similar but I am painting the head board with a sugar skull and flowers…I know… back to girly stuff!  Do you love all things pet?  Follow my blog – I post 1-3 times per week with pet news, art, crafts and all things rescue!

Pet Craft: Pet Bed Upcycled from old foot stool

Pet Craft: Princess Pet Bed upcycled from an old foot stool!

I made this bed from an old foot stool I picked up at a junk market.  When I purchased it, it was just the base and legs.  My husband did a safety clean up (pulled out nails and tacks) and made me a little head board.  I painted it up, made a custom cushion and pillows and added some embellishment.

FRONT FAR  I make cushions out of Hi Density Foam; it is washable, flame resistant and super coooooshy!  I covered the cushion with a super soft and yummy faux fur.  When I painted this bed I used Glossy Black paint.  The pink paint I could only find in matte so I finished it off with some gloss varnish. This is perfect for a small dog or cat that needs her own little princess bed.

What do you think of this bed?
