Pooch Bed ~ & Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
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!

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
