Project Pet Bed.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.” - Marie Corelli


I have actually seen this project done in a few other places, but I really fell in love with the idea and have been on the look out for decent vintage suitcases. It wasn't too long ago that I finally found one and set off to work on making it a cute little puppy bed, mind you I am planning on painting the exterior of it with polka-dots but for the most part it is finished. 




I installed a locking arm on the right side so that it can't collapse in when your pup sits in it and I made sure to have lower feet so he could have easy access. I think my favorite thing about this piece is that if I am having guests over all I have to do is close it and stick it under the bed- out of sight, out of mind. 

Hope you all are having a wonderful week.

    What a sweet creation! Does he use it? I think Scout would but Buster may walk by, slam it shut (with Scout inside) and call for a bell boy to take his luggage to the curb! (At least my cartoon version of him would.) This is adorable as well as functional.

  4. Victoria, Love this idea. We don't have any pets (allergies) but if I did that would be something I would love to have. Have a great week! Kathy

  5. What a cute idea! I'd love to steal it, but I don't think I could find a suitcase big enough for my dogs!
