DIY Dog House

- As I am dialing in our backyard, I wanted to designate a place for Miss Cali Bella Rodriguez. I have a couple different DIY dog ideas for her space but started with the most important part - a DIY dog house. I love being able to change out the covering and can’t wait to try to build a more suitable wood covering option for colder weather. How would you decorate/build a dog bed for your furry friend? Hope you enjoy! Stay rad xx.

I love how she climbed in and posed for the picture 😍
Right!? Haha I am always taking photos of her.
I don’t have dogs, but I do have tiny humans. This would be sooooooooooo cute if it was much bigger as like a play house outside. Thanks for the inspo 💗💗
Of course! I can’t wait to see what you build for them ❤️.
I don't know BUT .. I'm thinking you just may be building your own house one day .. or help in the process!! I don't put anything passed You! That's so darn cute! 🥂
Awe I hope so!
This is too perfect glad you came out with this idea great job Rachel Much love.
By far my favorite project so far! I'll be recreating for my doggo💛💛💛
Ah! Thank you so much!
Great job Rachel! I love seeing diy items for dogs.
Thank you ❤️
Callie in her house is one of the cutest things I've ever seen 😍 🐶 🐾 💜 love this project 🛠️
Awe thank you!
I've been wanting a teepee for my pups for a while, but this is really cute too. Very spoiled dogs!
If you watch the whole video, you’ll see I timestamped a tent I have done previously on my channel.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz oh I’ve seen it lol. That’s actually how I discovered your channel!
C'est mignon, et design aussi ! Bravo !
This is so adorable for Cali 🤗
Thank you love!
Pretty cool. The only thing, regarding stain, oil base can spontaneously combust, especially with smaller rags clamped together, you need to put any rags used in water then dispose..
Such a cute idea! Looks great!
Really appreciate that xx.
Aww what a lucky happy doggy!! It looks so nice and cool!
Thank you so much!
So cute!!
Thank you so much Hannah! Hope you’re having a great day.
I love this! I'm going to definitely attempt this for my pittie in the next few weeks!
Yay! I can't wait to see.
I love this so much!!! I have to build one for my chunky little bulldog man 😍
Bulldogs are the best! Send me a DM of your final product when you do.
Love it. So darn cute. And chic.
Thanks Karina!
Wahhhh I’m in love with your smush! 🐶💖
She's such a smush!
Super cute and perfect for the summer time!
I’m going to add misters for her 😂🐶❤️🤦🏻♀️
Thank you love!
The misters would be awesome please shoot some shots of that via Instagram and it would also be cool to trade the bottom for the diy cooling mats if it’s super hot.
I absolutely love that! I'm going to try to make!
Yay!
your killin it at these DIY's !
Wow thank you Ella!
This house is sooooooo cute! I love it! 💕🥰🐶
Thank you!
Everything you are building I want to build. Not sure if my dog would use it, she thinks she is human and will sit in my chair when I am gone and my son is home, lol. Cali is cute!!
For the roof use that rippled clear or color plastic , I forgot the name, I saw it used in building an outhouse.
Love that idea! Cali only sat in this for the photo haha.
This was so cute 🐶🐶💕💕
so cute
Thank you!
This is so cute!
Thank you so much!
I love your idea and congrats! I too am still beginning but I promise you learn fast because it sucks having to fix or even redo a project! Just some ideas: instead of using the plywood sheet as the base or floory for her dog house (especially because in rain water will sit on it) is use slats of either 1x2, 1x3, etc. leaving a gap in between each slat to allow the water to run down so there’s much les risk with damage. Also adding 1x2 trim around the areas where the boards and the plywood match up hides the fact that you’re using several kinds of different wood and cleans it up a bit! Lastly I love the fabric you chose and if you apply a darker stain first, then add watered down white paint or you can dry paint over the stain and have a unique look! Homemademodern used an aqua or turquoise paint color and then mixed it with water to apply the color without taking away the wood look like paint does.
Thanks for all this!
my puppy neeeeeds this ahhhh SO CUTE!! lowkey nervous to try this but also really excited if it turns out the way yours did!
You have to start somewhere! That dog tent was terrible (my OG dog house) but I pushed myself and voila!
Awesome!
Thank you!
You are doing GREATTTT! amazing work!
Truly appreciate that.
I did something similar to this but made the fabric with pouches in the inside and put some ice blocks in them. It’s a great way to keep it cool in there.
Oh my gosh! Great day! I’m going to add misters I think!
Cali💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 great DIY!!!!
I need to do an upgrade.
You’re are inspiring and hard working😀❤️
Kate - thank you for making me smile so big!
I love the little house and your dog haha, I enjoy watching your channel!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the love and support.

Thank you!
Nicely done, great commentary
Why thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant! Look at her face. Hehe. I’m sure she’ll grow to love it. I’m continuing to learn from you with every video. You’re bloody brilliant. Love You, Honey.xxx
Thank you love!
So sweet! Brand new to wood working?! Girl, I was going to ask where you learned how to build! Amazing!!
Wow thank you Dana!
So cool! Never done any woodworking. This might be too challenging for a beginner but its deffinitely on my to do list1
You have to start somewhere! Work within your comfort zone.
Love this 😄😄
Thank you so much Krystal!
So cute! :)
Thank you!
So nice😊
Truly appreciate that Elizabeth!
I love your diys
Thank you so much Addison! 😭❤️
You are the best youtuber ever your dog is so cute
Making my day! Thank you ❤️
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz your welcome
This is so cute! I recently did a pet bed halloween theme (coffin bed). If you have a forstner bit just drill partly through the 2x4 and cut the dowel to the appropriate length and just wood glue it into place. No need to screw it and avoid splitting the dowel. Just use the same size forstner bit as the dowel diameter. Thank you for sharing. =)
Love that! Thanks for the tip xx.
Youre my wonder woman!
Thank you!
You are a amazing girl that looks so cute🐶
Thank you Angela! Hope you’re well!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz i’m find your dog is adorable l have to myself and those are my babies Love all your videos
❤️🐶
If you wanted to change the outer piece for difference designs and seasons- instead of gluing it around the dowel- you could use Velcro for easy removal and change!
Love that idea.
😍😍😍
💋
You should add a water bowl on one of the sides...
OHHHHH and a sign with the dog's name or a welcome home sign
Get out of my head! Going to do another video decorating her house! Haha
That is to cool make me one so when i get home late lol
Hahahaha
Much better start lol
?
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz cyz of your last video
love this. so cute. i'd make it for my kitty but he's crazy and would end up stuck in it somehow
Oh my gosh 😂 thanks for watching and showing some love!
You should use a forstner bit the size of your dowel and make a pocket of each side and use a long reach clamp or tie down strap to hold everything together while the glue dries that way you dont have the risk of having the dowel crack.
Learn as you go! Thanks for the tip xx.
Youre welcome! i enjoy your channel and the stuff you do, keep up the good work!
Truly appreciate it 💋
Ahhh please do a give away with your bully! 🤣💖🐶
Great idea!
That is so cute!
You could maybe laminate the fabric or treat it with a waterproofing wash, so the bedding doesn’t get soaking wet if you ever leave it out in the rain. And it needs a name placket, of course! How else is Calli suppose to know it’s hers otherwise?
Love that!
My dog would sleep in it once then never touch it again😂😂😂
Haha
I know this video was years ago but where did you get that fabric? I love the design.
An old shower curtain I believe!
So cute!!! Just what I needed to brighten my day💕
I’m subscribed and I already commented on your latest Instagram!!! Can’t wait to see who wins!
2 questions though ... how will we know the winners and also when will the winners talk?
It’ll all be relayed to you via Instagram DM if you win. Thank you for the love and support!
I Love this and your doggo! 😃🐾🐾 I'm wondering how I can enlarge this for my hubby's 300 lb. pig.
Oh my goodness! I want a pig so bad!
Hubby thought he was getting a micro pig. NOT! A large Piggy house would need steel brackets and
larger sized wood pieces. 60"x90" so he could turn around. (Bigger than my Sofa.) One of my cats would also like your house on top of her cat tree. 😊
I would have drilled holes the size of dowels and simply glued them. I looks like the screws actually split the dowels in the video.
They did but I used wood filler and should’ve use smaller screws. Where I live it gets stupid windy and gluing dowels wouldn’t have held up. If you watch my tent video that I linked through the video - you’d see I already used that technique for an indoor one 😉
I know this is many years later, but I would just like to know how much you spent on building the whole doghouse, I’m in the process of looking at what I could potentially do for my little puppy friend!!!!
2x4's back then were $3 and now they are like upwards $15
Girl. Can you make a “how to make a Toddler bed video?” You know, the cute one that looks like a little house & the bed is on the floor? lol I can’t think of the name but my tiny human needs an upgrade from his crib & I need your master skills 😂
I need to see a photo! Send it over to me. I need to make a bed for Heaven anyway!
I sent you the picture through Instagram 😁. My name is Jezlikepez. I hope you see it
I do not have a dog😭 but this is still sooo cute and i love it
Awe thank you!
I dont know if u realise how inspirational u r, i registered for a woodwork course but not many ppl regiatered, so they cancelled 😢. What would you say ur go to tools r? What brand do u trust?
I have a video on the top tools I would start with on my channel. Ryobi is always a go to for beginners and priced well!
I personally with a dog her weight add a small leg underneath attached to the support beam
Good idea! ❤️ also making her a mini ramp for it 🙌🏼
i’d love to make this but my dogs too big
You can adjust the measurements!
Pinterest-worthy
Wow thank you!
Too cute!! I’ve got a mini wiener dog who is going to look FABULOUS in this 💁♀️
Oh my gosh! YAS!
So cool please pin
Thanks I have a French bulldog
Thanks for being first!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz your welcome so fun to watch
