Vintage Lumber

We rebuilt our deck in August at the new house and ever since I have been searching for things to make with the old vintage(salvage) lumber.  I was looking on esty one day and found the most awesome dog bowl holder!!  I just fell in love and had to get it for my super sweet doggie!  We couldn't have made it ourselves because we didn't have lumber the correct size, so I bought it.....it was a ridiculously expensive purchase. (not something I would normally do and my husband is in shock!)  Here it is:

But, how could I resist when I have the cutest dog in the world who LOVES it!!

Have you made an outrageous purchase for your pet?  Make me feel better and tell me about it!  :)
