My friend Cathy and I repurposed a twin bed to make this dog bed. We call it a day bed because we assume that most of you cuddle up with your canine friends at night.
There were two pieces to this bed. We left one piece whole, and the other piece we cut in half, and used those two pieces as the sides. We only had to add a board across the front.
With the seat removed, you can see how we constructed this day bed. We use wood glue and drywall screws for a good secure fit.
Cathy made a pillow case to cover our pillow, so that it could be removed easily for washing. The pound puppy is just a prop. Cathy’s son and daughter in law have this in their living room, in front of their picture window so their very old “Midnight” can look out the window.

Oh my, the dog in the picture is a Pound Puppy, right? My parents gave me the identical dog when I was 2 years old and I named him Mr. Charles after my neighbor. He was my most cherished possession and I still have him 22 years later! Your’s is in MUCH better shape (most Mr. Charles’ velvety fur has rubbed off). I was so excited to see another “Mr. Charles” in your picture! 🙂
I absoultey am enthralled by your blog! I spent most of yesterday reading and looking. I love it! I have published this comment as anonymous because I can’t remember my google password 🙁

This is a neat project, too. My husband made a garden bench in a similar fashion. THANKS for getting back to me so promptly on the bowling ball procedure. I have the wall paper & mod podge on hand….will probably get a can of outdoor polyurethane and give it a try!
