Everyone loves a good thrift store find. It can be vintage clothing, home goods or other knick knacks that have no purpose. I always love a good re-purposing project with the knick knacks I find at thrift stores.
This one particular project was quick and easy using an old basket and two throw pillows. With just a quick face lift, this basket is converted into a pet bed.
