Archie's New Pug Cave!


Happy Tuesday everyone!

It is me...
Archie!

I am so excited!

I am reporting to you from my very own...

PUG MAN CAVE!

My Momma and Dad just created it for me in their new basement space!


Ta Da!


This is my very own Pug Cave Bed!

I saw the Pug Man Cave my friend Zack got from his momma Tracy in NM and I went on strike until I got one too!

Zack is my inspiration and hero!

Let me take you on a little tour of the new space!

The basement use to be my mom's mobile frame shop when she had one about 10 years ago, and she decided it was time for the work tables to go away and the comfy home space to be created near the big beautiful window they have down there.

It used to be perfect space to work and now it is perfect to relax in for the whole family including me!

My momma is so excited about our new space.  It is about 10 to 15 degrees cooler down there in the Summer which will be great for those really hot nights she just cannot sleep.  Dad sleeps through anything I tell ya, but she wakes up and just starts working on stuff.  I always follow her to keep her company, so maybe now she will be inspired to lay back down for a few extra winks of sleep. :)

She decorated the space for about $13 if you can believe it!

The twin beds were generously given to us by Fred's mom who was changing some things in her own house.

Then we had one set of vintage sheets and found another set of king sized ones at GoodWill for $8.  She cut the fitted sheet on a diagonal and made the two bed skirts by placing one triangle half on either L of the bed configuration!

Then she used the poppy pattern king pillow shams that her MIL gave us as window treatments by nailing them up to the window panes!

We already had all of the little pillows and rugs and pictures upstairs in different rooms so she gathered them up and started decorating!

Isn't that FUN?

See my little bed?  
The exciting part is that I get to keep finding stuff to decorate my pug cave, but I already have my very own vintage bedspread, pug pillow and welcome sign!



Then as a treat, my momma bought herself her favorite IKEA shelf brackets for $5 that she has wanted forever, but just never had a good place to put them until now!


We even had the white wood shelf left over from disassembling the frame shop to put on the orange circle brackets!


See the new Sunflower Owl Pillow my momma told you about yesterday?

Well, this is the new special space she put it in!

She is happily busy making more pillows that you can see the beginnings of on the little IKEA shelf.

We will be able to show them to you soon decorating the day beds!

So what do you think of my new Pug Man Cave?

Please leave me a note and let me know!

You are all invited over anytime to come and play in it with me!

Archie
I am so happy that you can go off strike now!
That pug-man- cave is the coolest hang out place that I have ever seen.
And it looks sound proof too.
I am so glad that Zack shared his idea with you, because now you have one too!
I love all the colors. Its so cheerful and cozy!
Congratulations Archie!
love

Ok, Melissa you have outdone yourself yet again. This pug man cave is without doubt the cutest coolest little flat any sweet doggy could ever hope for. Now I have to give up part of my basement, convert it and figure out how to create a triple corgi cave. Thanks! Nice work! -randy
