Thinking outside the box can be really fun when creating pet beds. This one is made out of a bass drum. (My son’s very first drum set when he was five!) He didn’t want to get rid of it so he donated it to my many causes…Stay tuned for what I’ve done to the rest of his drum kit!
So what I did here was simply take off one of the heads and added a pillow. Her blanket was in the washer at the time, but you get the idea. Lay something soft down and your pup will know what to do! Not only do I find all my dogs loving this bed (except for the great dane and that’s because only her head would fit), but the kitties love sleeping in it too!
This drum was lovingly refinished, sanded and stained by my son, to allow the natural wood to shine through. You did a fabulous job son!
It’s a conversation starter and looks very stylish anywhere in the home. Get creative…re-think…re-purpose!

That looks so cosy. I wish I had a pet around here, I could try that trick. Maybe one day I’ll get a pet. Have a wonderful week!
I have a few pets too many! One needs to get creative for beds. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
I’ll bet the drum is a whole lot quieter in its current use!
Very clever idea!
Have a great day 🙂
Indeed! Hahaha 🙂
Oh my goodness what a great idea! and you have a very cute puppy (the one you posted i mean, im sure the other animals of yours are adorable too!) Im a huge fan of boston terriers, Im a pug owner but in the future I will have a Boston.
She is such a clown. Getting on in years and I see her slowing down. But when I take the ball out she is like a puppy all over again! I appreciate you commenting. Have an awesome day!
I think there’s a glitch in the system as I’ve been trying to respond…so I might be repeating myself hahaha. I was saying…the Boston is an old girl. Even though she’s slowed down some when I toss her ball, she’s like a puppy again! You’d love a Boston. They have a lot of character. Thank you for commenting. I really do appreciate it. Have an awesome rest of the week! 🙂
Oh that’s so sweet. You have a great week too =)
Cute idea! Thanks for stopping by Urban Plant Research today 🙂

When you have as many pets as I do, you tend to get creative with bed ideas. Hahahaha. Thank you for popping in! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Lolol well when I get a dog I will keep this in mind!!

Thank you! 🙂
Oh my! Not only a great idea but look at that adorable pup!
Aww thank you! She is such a good girl. Always have been well behaved. She will be 14 this year! Please come back to see what I do to the rest of the drum kit! Have a great day!!!!
I’ll definitely be staying tuned. & how sweet is that!! My family dog turned 17 on Feb. 6th! She’s a wiener dog named Beefy, haha. I just got a new puppy who’s such a sweet boy too. Dogs are the absolute best!
Precious Beefy! I just got a new pup too! It’s a boy! I’ve never had boys before. His name is Evan and he’s super smart and so chill. He goes to work with my daughter and lays on her desk all day! Very well behaved! Agreed…dogs are the best!
You are so creative! This looks awesome!
Thank you! That’s means a lot. I hope you keep coming back. Have a great Tuesday! 🙂
This is a great idea! I have two boys and they are going to LOVE this.
