End Table Dog Bed

My friends, Nicole and John, gave me this adorable, hexagonal end table. I had seen several dog bed transformations using a table just like this on Pinterest and was really looking forward to making one myself. I couldn't decide what to do with it until I found the really cute dog fabric. I decided to pull out the gray and black as colors for my paint for the table and paw print on top. I then sanded and distressed the wood a little (because that is ultimately what will naturally happen in my house) before covering it with a clear polyurethane. I also thought it was cute when artists placed little picture frames inside, giving the appearance of a tiny apartment. I filled the frames with picture of dogs from movies. I finished it with some little pillows with some scrap fabric I had leftover from a previous project. It will only fit the tiniest dogs, but so many of the tiny ones love to have a little nook to nap in.
