From TV to Dog Bed

A friend of mine challenged me to make a dog bed out of an old tv. Our inspiration for this project was this:

I got on Craigslist and right away found this tv for $5!!!! Can't beat that!!!

My husband pulled the "guts" out of the tv. We were afraid this would be a challenge because I read other blogs where people said getting the television out was a nightmare. My husband said the tv came out pretty easy. 

There were a few additions we had to make on this piece: it needed a new back and trim around the opening. When we took the tv out, a lot was attached to it. 

After many hours of painting and frustration here is the finished project:

I love that my friend sent me a picture of his dog in the bed:

Dog Tutu

I had a blast making my beautiful boxer Bella a tutu! The trick with making a doggie tutu is not putting tulle on the underside of it because it'll just get dirty and ruined. Click here for more information on how to make a tutu.

Bella's Birthday

I am one of those crazy dog people that celebrates their pet's birthdays. I don't have children yet, so I have to dress something up!

I cut flowers in half, stuck a button in the middle and put a rhinestone in the middle of each button.
