Thrift Store End Table Turned Into A Dog Bed

*This is actually a craft that my mom completed and I am just sharing! She gets full credit! :)

Hey everybody! Today I'm showing ya'll an end table that my mom bought from a thrift store and she turned it into a dog bed.

Here's the before and after picture...

First, she started with the ugly end table

She removed the doors and the piece of marble on top. Wiped it down to removed dust or anything else.

Next, she used Valspar paint and painted the whole thing. (the paint is called: day at the jewelers and it has an eggshell finish)

Don't you just love that color!?! :)

After that paint dried she went over it with Valspar sugar & cream also with an eggshell finish.

Next, you can use a bar of soap in places that you want to be sure show through when sanding it.

After that she went back over it lightly with some more of the turquoise color paint.

 

I love the legs on this table!

Next, she sanded it...

Make sure to get the edges and any high spots that will get worn out over time.

You can do as much sanding or as little as you want. It's your preference.

 

 

Wipe the sand dust off and then it's ready for the cushion to be put in :)

My sister is the sewing queen around our house so she is gonna sew our cushion together to hold the stuffing in.

And that's it! I hope you like it :)
