Fall is a great time of year for picking up great salvaged finds from the side of the road, back alleys and dumpsters. Folks are purging before Winter comes and we're A-OK with that! This homeowner picked up this piece in just the same manner and took it home. Are you ready to see its not-so-table-like transformation?
With a little elbow grease, this piece got a new paint job and a few finishing touches and it was set to be used as a napping spot instead of a place to put a plant. Finials and some embellisment were added to make it look more bed-like and cute little linens completed the look.
Make sure to hop over to The Speckled Dog to check out more photos of the process and the new bed's tenant, because what Friday is complete without pint sized pups in pint sized beds?

omg!!!!
Ugh. Formerly great table.
I'm utterly gobsmacked. Well done!
Super clever!!!
stfu!
that is fantastic. my cordelia might need something like that. although, I have a sneaking suspicion she wouldn't use it.
WOW!
Haha! There was the cutest little dachshund house on designsponge yesterday, and now this fancy bed today! Great idea.
Wow! Clever re-purposing!
insanely clever!
At first, I thought, "Oh no, they're going to paint that beautiful table!".
Then I saw a puppeh was involved, and I cracked up. That is hilarious!
That's just creepy...
wow, that's really cool !
That's so not what I was expecting. Well played.
it's a cute idea, but i think it would have been much better if it stayed a table.
that's great!
Love this! It would also be perfect for American Girl-sized dolls.
I totally didn't see that coming. I would love to have a bed that looks like that. Too cute!
darling.
That is one lucky weiner dog!
SHUT! UP!!
I really don't understand these negative comments about it being better off as a table. If she hadn't nabbed it, it would have ended up in a landfill. Maybe she didn't want a table...
Adorable and well done!
too cute
Are people seriously complaining about this? She found it on the roadside and turned it into something functional and adorable.
And, no, it wouldn't have made a better table. I wouldn't trust the legs to hold anything of value.
so cute and clever. makes me want to adopt a weenie dog... and build a little bed for it. :)
negative nellie's should keep their trap shut... haven't you ever heard "if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all."
OMG. My Zoe dog already thinks she's royalty, that bed would just go straight to her head. What's that Zoe? You'd prefer organic sheets? OK! ;>
It's begging for sheer curtains and a few shimmery pillows :)
Adorable. And great paint job.
I think it's hysterical - but I agree with ProfKD - it needs to go a little further.. sheer curtains, little silk pillows - how about a little gilt?
I agree with @silence
Haahaaa! This is so great!
Totally not what I was expecting...
Its already been said cute, cleaver and love it.
Shockingly clever! Nice work!
Lucky dog! Very cute and surprising!
That is truly an unexpected transformation.
This was NOT what I was expecting, but it's totally awesome. I would make something like this for my dogs, except they would never use it.
OMG!! Absolutely adorable! What a brilliant idea of transformation. Great work :)
Put a big smile on my tired old face!
I LOVE it!!!!!! Anything for a pupper....
This kills me!!!! My dogs would LOVE it! Great job!
Super creative and adorable. Way to think outside the box!!
With great, creative ideas like this I become more and more open to think in different ways.
Thank you for this wake up call!
You made a fabulous doggy executive bed :-)
That is SO freaking adorable.
!!!
I wish I had a bed like that!
oh my god!!!!
super clever!
Until I saw the dog, I thought it was an extremely clever doll's bed, which my grandaughter would love. But my dog might like it, too.
Brilliant. However any dog I ever had would have been gnawing on the bedposts... Good dog!
That is an amazing transformation! If I had known that the 'after' would be so imaginative, I would have checked out this post earlier... ;)
Very cute makeover! I thought it was for a doll though until I saw the dog on it :)
I think I need to get a small dog so I can do this!
its great. i would love if i could get my dog to sleep in a dog bed, but he seems to prefer anything but a designated spot. last time i tried to get him to sleep in a designated dog bed i found him in the laundry basket sleeping in the dirty clothes.
nice... BEAUTIFUL teckel too.
Ha! I was not expecting that. What a lucky little hound.
I'm in love with this! I wish I had a people-sized one for me.
Brilliant! Love it!
very clever!
How awesome is that??!
This has got to be *THE* cutest thing I have ever seen. It's great:)
Fun!
So creative...I love it! I'm curious, did you have the bed idea when you found it or did that come later? You creative types amaze me!
Ha, fantastic.
I'm always amazed at the what some people can see in a random piece of abandoned furniture that I'd probably just walk past.
Seriously, if I had a dog, I would SO very much want a bed for it just like that. That is one of the cleverest makeovers I've ever seen.
so clever and creative!
