These are my latest hand painted dog beds...
Update 2014 I'm no longer creating the dog beds and
they are completely sold out. Thank you for your past
support and purchases.

Thank you!
I made them from this round end table.
When I bought it, I was thinking I would cut the top off to make "a" bed....
But when I cut the top off I realized I now had two beds...Duh! :)
For the taller one, I painted a zebra design on the inside, with turquoise,
muted orange and metallic gold on other parts of the bed.
I made a custom, reversible cushion with a dotted paw print on one
side and black fabric painted with big gold dots on the other side.
I even painted a cream strip of fabric to make my own striped edging on the cushion.
Painted all the way around...
Of course have to add dots and stripes.
The round finials are attached with screws and glue to be secure and safe for a pet.
I didn't add feet but the table had a wood apron and I
painted in black and cream stripes.
No area is left unpainted...the bottom of the bed under the cushion
is painted in aqua swirls with a bone shape.
See all the details in my Etsy shop .
For the second one I decided on leopard print.
This is my life sized stuffed Yorkie that I'm using as a model ;)
The inside has a great mix of patterns and colors...
The yummy black and cream checks that I love...
Along with leopard print, stripes and dots.
For the feet, I had a cool shaped wooden spindle, so I cut it down and
used the Dremel to carve dots in them that I painted in cream.
Painted all the way around in wine and warm yellow gold
I made a custom reversible cushion with wine/gold chenille on one side....
And leopard on the other...
I added another hand painted strip of edging on the sides of the cushion.
I love how it turned out.
This leopard bed has sold.
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out the makeover.

I've moved to Lucydesignsart.com to focus on my mosaic art. I'm no longer creating dragonflies or mermaids.
