THE BUGSY BED

My little dude needed a bed of his own

(or so I thought), so I decided to

try my hand at making one for him.

Pinterest has become another addiction of mine and

I have been seeing these dog beds made by

recycling old end tables.

So, I searched for quite a while at yard sales

and finally found one that fit the bill.

Here it is in it's original form.

I flipped it over; cut the shelf out;

cut two of the legs down; added 3 pieces

of 1"x4" and finally, added 4 fence

post caps to the bottom as feet.

The finials are end caps for

curtain rods.  I also added two 1" x 2" 

pieces to the back as a headboard.

Next, I spray painted everything black.

Then I made a quick pillow case for the

pillow and placed it in the bottom of

the bed as a mattress.

And to make it a Bugsy Original, 

I painted a wooden crown to match the

pillow cover.  Small wood alphas were attached

to spell BUGSY and some rhinestones were

added for effect.

Now, there is only one issue ...

... Bugsy wants NO PART of sleeping in it !!!

He sat long enough for me to snap this

photo but that's as much as he has used it.

WHAT A TOOT!!!

Thanks for stopping by.
