Custom Dog Bed

Sometimes I do things that are a little out of the ordinary. I think that is why I love what I do. My days as a "file clerk" are over. I like the diversity of the things I am asked to create. The designer drew a sketch of what she had in mind and my carpenter and I went to work. Never having made a dog bed, and not even being a dog lover, I visited the local pet store. Humm--just a few ideas there. But this dog bed is perhaps better than a Marriot bed.

This dog bed was customized to fit a large size dog. It has a 3/4" plywood base, 2" thick foam and is wrapped around the outer edge to form sides. That seems to be where the dog lays his head. Large wooded bun feet were wrapped with the washable polyester velvet fabric. Color was chosen to match the color of the dog.

A large removable cushion was inserted in the center to create just another layer of comfort. This puppy dog has a great nights sleep. One afternoon, I found him napping in the sunshine. That is quite the life. Sweet dreams Rover!

Kitchen Window Looks Complete

 The homeowners have a view from every side of their home.  It is beautiful.  Not much needs to be said or done when it comes to making these windows look great.  You enjoy the view so much, I think you might not even see the treatments.  However, I was asked to do the treatments for this home.  My son actually built this home.  It was a great project and the attention to detail is what makes this home stand out above the rest.  This is the kitchen window.  I kept the treatment simple as you can see.  Bold fabric, beaded trim, slight scallop all on tension rod. Breakfast room has two french doors in the bay that walks out to the patio.  Using the same fabric on black rods I made sure not to cover up the view in any way.  It was just perfect for the space.

Pink and Polka Dots

The French doors to this little girl's bedroom are lightly covered with sheer white dotted Swiss fabric. This creates a semi-private feel.  The girls are only 2 and 3 years old.  So parents peeking in once in a while is expected.   This room had two windows that balloon shades on a tension rod were installed.  Some sheer dotted Swiss panels were added to again create privacy for the girls.     The tie backs on the french doors were one of the stripes from the fabric turned and fastened in place. Over each bed a flowered corona was placed and sheer dotted Swiss panels and valance were hung.  Each girl sleeps in a big girl bed and feels like a princess.  The chandelier is pink and clear crystals.  Adorable!
