The best wayI know of to NOT do something is to say I WILL! I said on Friday that I would post the rest of the photos of the pet beds "tomorrow" and thereby, in saying so, I jinxed myself! But, working on the bette-late-than-never principle, here they are!

This bed is made from an old stray dining chair that was free.
There's always a different dog or cat in it.Luckily, we've had no brawls over it!
I expect one day to find that they're made a schedule and posted it on the fridge! |

This is an old doll bed that I found at a garage sale for $4.
It's the perfect size for cats! They love this "top shelf" vantage point! |
Both these beds, like the ones in the previous post, were made from junk I had stashed in the garage. The mattresses were cut from old sofa cushions that I picked up for the foam. I'll confess to spending a few dollars on a couple of yards of black and white toile fabric. I could have used something free for the fabric but I just couldn't abandon the vision of the toile that I had in my mind's eye. I've got to watch myself with the toile fabrics -- I could easily use it in a different color in every room! So far I have blue (front hall), red (front porch), black (office and dog beds), and pink/brown (master bedroom). I'm trying very hard to restrain myself from the red/gold combo. Now watch! I'll find it in a dumpster! But that would be great because it would totally justify it -- can't argue with what the cosmos brings me, right?
By the way, I just have to point out the vintage desk chair in the background of the first photo. Salvation Army $30. It has a beautiful original patina. You can buy them new from Pottery Barn (without the patina) for $399! E-gad!
