Weeks ago, my dad and I were walking through M&M Antiques in Monroe…and I saw this rusty orange Hendrix dog bed tucked away under a table.
I didn’t think much of it at the time other than how ugly that orange was.
Of course after leaving there and coming home – that little dog bed kept creeping up in my mind. It was unique and different! 
Then I started thinking about what I could do with it…paint it? fluffy pillow? That said, I went back for it a few days ago and brought it home. Using my left over Annie Sloan Chalk paint from the Table I recently transformed, I repainted it.
Definitely feeling the love of this new piece of furniture for the Guest Suite.
Last night I picked up a sham from Simply Shabby Chic patchwork line at Target and a $3. standard pillow in hopes that it would fit perfectly in this new bed…
Miss. Sophie is already loving it!

Oh gosh - that's just too cute, nice paint job!
Looks like a great job! Sophie looks very happy to have a new fabulous bed
Wow, Sophie's bed looks wonderful.
How do you think the Chalk Paint
will hold up to scratches.. the bed
is it wood or metal?
I found a recipe to make chalk paint
and have been looking for a specific
color, Green Tea, and there is
a stain by Minwax in this color. I thought to try making my own for an
old wine rack that has been sitting
in my dining room for a few years...
No harm in trying..
Nice find
Sandy
