Dog Bed
This bed was made for my dog DeeDee. It was built with pressure treated construction lumber and plywood, just incase I want it to become an outdoor lounge one day. It was built to fit into my bedroom and match the height of my bed. I left it as an unvarnished relatively rough construction, only applying a coat of stain with the assumptions that it would be scratched and clawed in short order, but I was wrong! It is her favorite lounging spot and is well taken care of by the owner.
