A Royal Dog Bed

Recently I made a few changes in my kitchen. I took down the metal pot rack hanging over the kitchen island.  Mainly because I never hung pots off of it. For years the only thing the pot rack held was a decorative vine with berries on it and a ton of dust. Not attractive. At all! I like to recycle when at all possible, so rather than toss the pot rack to the curb I decided to make it into a royal dog bed!

I thought I had a before photo of the pot rack hanging in the kitchen, but for the life of me I couldn’t find it. The pot rack’s original finish was an oil rubbed bronze. Which I love, but it just didn’t fit into the plans I had for it. The plan? White Shabby Chic with lots of bling!

I gave it a couple of light coats of white spray paint and sanded it down in places to give it the shabby chic look.

After it was all assembled, it was time to decorate! I made a custom dog pillow for the bed and added 20 crystals to the top and sides of the bed. You just can’t have a royal dog bed without a little bling!

Here’s a better picture of the the detail on the top. Truth be told, I wanted to add a lot more bling, but it was pointed out to me that for safety reasons it might be prudent to stick to a minimal amount of bling. I really, really wanted to add a tiara somewhere!

See? A tiara is perfect!

I have made other dog beds, you can see those here, but I believe this is my favorite!

Let the royal dog’s nap begin!

Until next time….
