Before and After: Old TV to Dog Bed

Remember the ugly old television?


Now, it's a lovely dog bed (I told you so!).


And if you peek inside, you'll find...


...the cutest boy ever!

And a dog who has been humbled by his judgmental nature.


It really looks a whole lot better in person. It turned out nicely and it adds some nice color to our white-wall plague.

Tucker seems to be more impressed with it than the dogs, however, so maybe it will eventually be used as a puppet show stage.

It looks fantastic! I'd love to know how you did this as well. I have an similar old TV that I was planning to get rid of-but just might keep it now. My dog needs a new bed!

I want to do this! But I'm having the hardest darn time finding an old tv like this. Any suggestions? I'm using 'vintage tv console' in craigslist searches.

Erin said...

PandaBear,

I would start scouting thrift stores, garage sales, pawn shops, and yes, craigslist! As soon as you put it at the back of your mind, you will find one! :) Good luck in your search. Let me know when you have found one and how it turns out!

Ah! I love this! How did you get the TV out? My mother-in-law just took one of these out of her living room and now I am trying so hard to get in touch with her to get it from her!

Erin said...

Rebecca,

The TV was pretty easy to get out...You will need to unscrew the back of the console and then remove a series of screws. It takes patience and an extra hand, but it's fairly simple. Thanks for asking!

How do u get the actual tv out of the casing...?
