One of my many frustrations with dogs beds has been the lack of a washable cover—once a store-bought dog bed gets too dirty, you cannot just throw it in the wash. So this weekend I made a dog bed (used the stuffing from two old throw pillows), and made a washable cover from a table cloth I found on sale.

I didn’t want to use a zipper, so I created a pocket to slide the interior pillow into. Ahh… a clean dog bed (and cover).

I had been wanting a bulletin board for a while, but didn’t like the ones in the store, so I found an old plaster frame (was in the house when we bought it), painted it, and attached a piece of cork board for the back… semi-instant bulletin board!
