Repurposed Twin Headboard
By ModHomeEcTeacher
Repurposing a headboard: make a slipcover for it (as above), dog bed, a doll bed, a child's low platform bed, the back of a wide chair, a tabletop, cut an opening and use as a frame, a mirror frame, if it's slatted, upholster it, if it's solid, paint a picture in the center, decoupage a favorite image in the center.

I submitted my DIY Project to Design Sponge on Sunday evening.
I'm not sure when it will be posted, but I'll get back with you on that. Staying in line with all things dog-like, I wanted to post a picture of some of my favorite dog beds (hint of what my DS project is).
