(I got the Pug mugs from https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignMyDog )
We throw away so many things everyday! Some of those things can be turned into beautiful art or useful things for our homes and gardens. We like to turn someone else's garbage into something useful and beautiful. We make dog beds, garden decorations and even created a Snoopy Mailbox!

Coffee Bar
I was so inspired when I saw the coffee bar that Joanna Gaines made on an episode of Fixer Upper (season 1 Episode 2). I was telling my mom about it and expressed how much I wish I had a bigger kitchen so I could have one. She suggested I make a mini version. I researched on Pinterst and found that many people had made mini coffee bars. I ordered hundred year old wood floating shelves online, painted the chalk board paint and repurposed some things I and my mother had lying around. This is the final result:
Scooby Doo & Star Wars dog bed
I had planned to make two dog beds for my daughter's two Pugs, Jynkies and Darth Vader. I was going to find two matching end tables and paint one in a Scooby Doo theme and the other in a Star Wars theme. I didn't find two end tables, but instead I found one really large one. I decided to make it fun and paint it half and half. They both lay together anyways, so they may not enjoy two separate beds as much!
I didn't paint the pictures on the headboard. Instead, I printed them on cardstock and had them laminated so the dogs hopefully wouldn't ruin them. Then I stapled them on the headboard so they are secure.
Jynkies inspected it all thoroughly
