So what to do with that old wine barrel you picked up at a flea market years ago and it’s been collecting dust in the basement? Keep using it as an end table or flower pot? Nah, Rock Creek Furniture Company at Etsy.com came up with a really smart DIY idea that you can try yourself or buy from them.

Beautifully , aged reclaimed wine barrels are turned into stylish dog beds and feeders that you can’t find at a mass retailer. This Colorado based company uses barrels from reclaimed American or French oak which are carefully reinforced, sanded and and sprayed with a high-quality clear finish for a lasting product.

You can change the feeling of the bed easily by experimenting with different fabrics for the cushion. Plaids will give this a classic country look while bold modern prints make it edgy and cool.

A reversible cushion with fleece on one side is a great way to add warmth for winter.

This can be yours for the same price as a case of vintage vino-$250 plus shipping.

DIY Halloween Pupstylish Photos tips No Comments

Halloween is by far one our favorite holidays at PupStyle.com. In my family we have a yearly tradition of carving pumpkins. Every year I like to change it up so this year, I was inspired by my Chiweenie Sophie!

I can’t resist her adorable face and hey why not put her face on a pumpkin? Here are the steps I took to create my Sophie Pumpkin!

Simply go to google and type in the breed of dog you have along with free pumpkin printable. For example I typed: weenie dog free pumpkin printable.

After looking into some different websites, I then found a printable weenie dog pumpkin carving that also came with directions! http://www.ilovedachshunds.org/free-dachshund-pumpkin-carving-stencil-pattern/

I then followed the directions and wala! My Sophie pumpkin is complete!

PupStyle team member and children’s editor, Parker Foster Spooner has created this fun summer DIY pet fashion bow tie project for you to try out.

Step one: Select any duct tape you like but prints are really trendy especially all things with mustaches.

Step two: Cut a piece of length suitable for the size of your dog. We made ours extra small to fit Mr. Bernard our resident Chihuahua in charge.

Step 3: Fold the strip you cut in half.

Step 4: Pinch the piece you folded in half to look like a bow tie or similar to fan folding.

Step 5: Cut a small strip of tape and fold it in half to create a loop to secure the bow tie to the dog collar.

Mystery fashion blogger Luxirare is an internet fashion phenomena and a pet fashion aficionado. There is very little known about Ji Kim the force behind Luxirare (she obscures her face in all postings on the site) – but she does dote on her Maltese, Rocky. In a recent posting she documented the process of buying a children’s Adidas track suit and re-draping and re-sewing it to fit Rocky – Rocky x Adidas. Going from a two piece track suit the eventual outcome became a one-piece jumpsuit complete with a leash remade from an Adidas necklace. Luxirare may remain a mystery but we’ve got our eyes out for a white Maltese rocking a dope Adidas track suit!
