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
