Doggie Daybed

Jolliffe designed this raised bed to give his own dog a people-height for chew toys and rawhide bones. To get the height right he measured the Great Dane's favorite chair, which was 18 inches off the ground, then constructed the 36-by-36-inch square frame using pine for the legs and plywood for the top and bottom. MDF beadboard gives it a nice finish, and the big dog pillow on top (around $30 at most pet shops) provides Diesel with a comfortable place to rest his head.
