You see, I have two pugs. Oscar and Tilly. They’re super cute. In fact, I’m willing to bet they’re the cutest dogs in the entire world. But, don’t take me up on that bet, because it’s like betting who’s children are cutest…It’s just not right.
But anyway. They’re super cute, they’re just weird. They do crazy things that make me think “um, what!?” all the time. Like, they bring me their dog beds when they’re happy, for instance. Which, in turn, means their beds are ripped to shreds. It doesn’t make this dog mama very happy, I’ll have you know.
I knew something needed to be done about their beds, I just didn’t want to spend $50 on a super durable one. Luckily, I saw this pallet bed before I forked over the big bucks.

For mine, I decided not to paint the pallet. Did I want to? Yeah. Really bad. Unfortunately, it took me so long to find a pallet that I just didn’t have the time. Luckily, my husband found me a pallet with great coloring.
My husband and I (mostly my husband…But, I did cut off one board so I could say I helped…Don’t judge me) cut the pallet in half so that it would fit into our little back room where the dogs stay when we leave the house.
After that, my mom helped me whip up a little dog bed slip cover out of some cute Ikea fabric and then we stuffed it with some old clothes and a sleeping bag that I’ve been meaning to take to the thrift store, but haven’t dared to part with.
This project was so easy, and I love the end result.
It definitely adds some life into my usually dull back room. Plus, my dogs love it. Win win, right?

I really LOVE this. You need to take a photo of it with the dogs on it. Now Dad really wants me to make one for the boxers. Do you still have that extra pallet??
Aw, thanks so much!! Yours turned out adorable. Love the slip cover fabric….I can just picture two pugs on it.
