I have seen a lot of hexagon end tables that people have turned into stylish dog beds. I had been keeping my eye out for a table to use to try my hand at it. The thrift stores were a bust because they were all $30-$40 to start with. I was on my way to the grocery store one day and sitting out in the trash behind a building was just the table I wanted. I almost passed it up because I was in a hurry and it was raining but I pulled over and managed to get it into my car - it was heavier than it looked! When I finally got it home, I took the doors off to use for another project, I filled in the holes with wood putty and started sanding. This is what it looked like when I started in on it -
I painted the inside in a light grey that I had on hand and the outside in Pottery Barn's "Peppercorn" which is a rich grey. I bought a nice, fluffy pet bed to put inside and viola!
It turned out exactly as I had it pictured in my head! It sold within the hour! Some lucky pup is snuggling in style now. SO much nicer than a typical dog crate and useful as an end table to boot. I call that a win-win!
