Hand Painted Dog Bed from an End Table with Hand Painted Cushion

My latest dog bed...from an end table.

You can check out the others I've made by 

clicking on "Dog beds" Categories section

Update as of 2013, I'm no longer making the dog beds.

Please visit my new online shop featuring my mosaic art

and occasional paintings and hand painted items.

I started with this table thinking, oh how cute, look at the lines on this!

I'll cut the legs off and use those for the sides, it'll be easy!...Ha!

Let's just say I won't buy a table like this again

to make a pet bed ;)

Moving on... here it is after it was basically

taken apart then put back together!

After painting...

Lots of stripes and dots... 

Headboard 

with visions of dog bones dancing over their head...?

I hand painted my own fabric to make the cushion

See how I paint on fabric.

I have a roll of this...not really sure what it is! It's kind of 

like a smooth muslin, with pinked edges on a roll.

Anyway, I decided to incorporate it into the cushion as well.

I took a length of it, painted black stripes then 

edged the cushion with it

I love the extra little stripe it adds

I always paint my dog beds so they look great from any angle.

The cushion is reversible...

gold metallic dots on this side...

With the doggy bones and cream dots on the other side
