It's a little 'frilly' for a boy, but Pixel doesn't seem to mind!
I made it out of all 'recycled' materials - the fabric with the ruffle was originally the crib/ bumper pad from my son's baby crib, over 14 yrs ago! I still had matching fabric for the 'bed' and I stuffed it with filling from a too-flat bed pillow.

Pixel must 'approve', as he immediately had to test it out with a cat nap!
I plan to try making more out of 'recycled' materials - as Pixel LOVES to sleep on our clothes; I have my eye on some soft old sweatshirts and T-shirts that my son has outgrown - How about a Tie-Dye bed for Pixel? the sweatshirt sleeves ought to make great 'tubes' for the sides....
-------
Pixel is getting to be a real spoiled boy - what with Mom and Jon making him all kinds of things.....
he really enjoys his 'catwalk' shelf across the wide front window - it makes the ideal place to play, sleep, and keep an eye on Jon and me (and that big hairy Fizzy dog!) in the computer room!

We had to re-mount it with Molly screws, though - as the first attempt pulled out of the drywall after only a few days of Pixel running and 'pouncing' on it!

(the shelf was also made out of all leftover or 'recycled' materials - except for the angle brackets supporting it - $1.67 ea at Menards!)
