Frankencouch

In two different houses, I have built a sunroom that has become a dog room. In the first house, I really planned it as a sun room, but the dogs, dog beds, etc., took over. In the second house, I planned it as a dog room and there was no doubt of its purpose.

But being the silly owner, I decided the dogs should be comfortable, so I gave them the couch and loveseat and chair from the old den as their personal dog couches. What I envisioned was something like this (No, this is MY couch and they are on it only when I am there):

And, of course, my goal was to never get the poor abused dog having to sleep on hard furniture, such as this:

So, you want to see the end result of my being nice and giving them actual furniture in their room? First, a disclaimer. Yes, I am a guy. So everything can be fixed with Duct Tape. Well, almost everything.

    I’ve just spent a little time perusing your site and loving your beautiful herd. I also have a love of duct tape and bless the person who invented it. But I laughed out loud at the current furniture. Good one.
    My husband just duct taped our windows in the manor house living room. It’s ok because they could use a paint job anyway, but with this latest storm of the century, the wind was coming in. Love duct tape.

    I love the current furniture! Sibes do tend to get a bit overexcited with their own stuff. Dashi decided that a kennel with a door wasn’t good enough and modified it to a kennel with only three walls – sort of an open-plan kennel… unfortunately it apparently needed the fourth wall to keep it square so he now lives in a three-walled, sagging-roofed kennel – but he still maintains the view is much better this way! You gotta love a dog with an opinion.
