This is a great way to repurpose an old chair into a chair dog bed.
If you've ever lurked or joined in on the posts over at the trash to treasure message boards on HGTV.com you have probably seen these kinds of projects. I was inspired by Sharon S. to make this dog bed out of an old chair. As you can see, you simply cut the chair down to size, add a simple box, and some legs.
I used some cute doggie fabric to cover the pillow. Many times you can use an old bed pillow for the dog beds.We fondly refer to this bed as the "King Louie" bed, named for the grand dog seen below.
He's sort of like Goldilocks, he tried out a couple of beds and decided he liked the second version of the King Louie bed.
This is another version. This project helps you use up odds and ends you have laying around. Old chairs, chair legs, and luan/beadboard.
Gail Wilson is the author and mastermind behind My Repurposed Life. She is obsessed with finding potential in unexpected places and believes that with a little hard work and imagination, any old thing can be made useful again, including herself!
Gail reinvented herself during a midlife crisis and has found purpose again. She hopes you will find new ideas for old things and pick up a few tools along the way.
