For the last few months, I have been wanting to make Obi a dog bed from an old drawer, and now that I have Chessie, I'm looking for an old wooden toddler bed to turn into a bed for him. He's elderly, and I just know he would appreciate something with a mattress! If I can't find one, I'll probably pick up some unpainted used lumber at the Rebuilding center, and make a box frame for a toddler mattress, and then repurpose some old quilts into a mattress cover.

Another great thread.
Would an old wooden swing, or framed wooden table in the Goodwill surplus yard be a possibility (upside down) . Turn it over...table , cut off the legs, baby bed mattress, or 2nd hand lawn or chair pads u can throw in the washer?
I am into the redoing thing too. I hate throwing things into my recylce trash can if I can repurpose it.
I turn empty and washed 35 pound contaners that held Litter Purrfect Lemongrass from Costco into all kinds of things. They are sturdy plastic with about a 4" round lid. Yard treatments, plant treatment, turf builder, bird seed, miracle grow, etc. that come's in plastic bags that tear and never reseal go into the jug. I cut off the original label and tape to the container
Cut the top off and use for storing garden tools. I cut one apart and am rooting 3 Plumeria cutings...
, another one has strawberry's and one has chives starting out.
