This DIY Dog Crate Is Supercute and Looks Like a Chic Piece of Furniture

Little baby girl has loved her new "den" — and I had her crate-trained at night within the first month of bringing her home (a frozen peanut-butter-stuffed Kong definitely helped with this). The piece also serves as a console table for my favorite seashell lamp, a photo of my puppy and me, my Golden Retriever books, and a handful of pup things I like to have on hand and accessible. Plus, knowing that I made this myself (with my dad!) makes it extra meaningful and a cherished piece in my home.
