I hope you all had a good week and weekend! My preschool had their graduation this past week which is always a lot of work but so exciting for the kids! Each class is unique (this one was very talkative!), but also special. They will be missed!
I had hoped to reveal our ‘Dressing up a Dresser’ post, but things didn’t quite go as planned. It still needs a little more work, plus we tried fitting in shopping for a car, changing around my bedroom (which I will post in a couple of weeks) and Lauren ending up being called into work. So today I am sharing a pet bed I made for my Chica before I was blogging. I don’t have too many pictures and they aren’t that great, but I love this little bed, so I wanted to share!
I started out with an old discarded tv stand. It was black and at one time it had doors. I picked out some retro fabric from Lauren’s stash and found some pink pom pom ball trim too. Chica is definately a girly girl, so we needed the pink and some pom poms!
I painted the tv stand white and added the little pom poms around the front opening. I sewed up the fabric as a pillow cover so I could take it off and wash it. I used an old pillow to stuff it with. I even sewed a long one to line the back with.
She does use it, usually when the weather is cold, but it is a nice special spot just for her (sometimes she has to share it with the cat!).
I love it when I can take something someone else is throwing away and make something new and useful out of it. Have you tried anything like this? I would love to have you share! Have a great week!
This is adorable! I almost think my little kids would like the hiding place more than the pets. 😉 So cute! Thanks for sharing at #homemattersparty

I love it! Vibrant color are awesome and I love these cute, little pom poms.
Chica is a lovely lady 🙂 And obviously cat will use it haha, it’s to much of a treat to pass by (such a great hiding place!) .But you’re lucky, my cat’s favourite spots are carton boxes (not a fancy decor if you ask me ;)!).
Hugs,
Mila
