Molly the Westie found out she was going to be a big sister to a little human so I decided to build her a room of her own under the stairs before the baby arrived.

Nothing existed there before, it was walled-in. I wasn’t sure how big the space was, or if it would even be possible, so was very happy with the end result… as was Molly!

We are currently doing well in the myBuilder ‘Project of the Year 2017’ competition and you can vote for me here if you like it!

More info: mybuilder.com

    Molly in her new, finished room

    She is the best wee dog who had been very spoiled up to this point, so we didn’t want her to feel less important when the baby arrived!

    And here is the proud big sister with baby Catelyn!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Starting point… I thought there might be dead space behind the stairs, but wasn’t sure. Trying to sneak a look

    ADVERTISEMENT

    If it was going to work I also needed to move the wiring for the house alarm system. Decided to update the kitchen at the same time, by adding tongue & groove panels

    Space cut out… I can now see what space we have to play with

    Bigger than I thought, around 4 square metres

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Most importantly… don’t want Molly to be scared of the space, so in for an early look. Definitely going to be big enough!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Door frame fitted in keeping with the internal joinery, base of frame kept in place as integral to support staircase

    Plasterboard fitted, starting to look like a room

    In for a sniff and helping with the plastering/sealing

    Feature wallpaper gives an idea of what’s coming next

    ADVERTISEMENT

    View from inside the room

    Colour changing mood lighting installed

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Molly waiting patiently as I had to finish the tongue and groove outside her room first

    Flooring goes down

    And skirtings for the awkwardly shaped walls!

    Custom signs

    Molly still waiting patiently, has taken the new couch in the meantime

    So I bought her one for her new room

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Finishing touches, photo frames and luxury bed

    Pictures of Molly at school with her friends

    All moved in, proud as punch!

    Posing in her new space

    Loves the cosy corner

    Finishing touches with her sign and peronalised leash/harness hook

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Luckily she likes her new home better than the one in the garden!

    Absolutely fantastic project! Great use of space, it makes so much sense that a dog has his own space in a house, after all they are members of the family too, and they have junk that needs putting somewhere so why not in their own room? Btw her new room is cozier than mine, lol.

    This is the sweetest thing! We have a giant dog and I didn't want to have a giant crate taking up space in a room, so we gave him space in the library. He has his own couch in there and we can close the doors over to give him quiet time. He loves it! Oh Molly, someone loves you so!

    Absolutely love your idea and efforts. I just love Westies. Had one for seven years. His name was Benji like the dog in the movie. But I hd so much fun with him and walking thru a park. This guy loved chasing squirrels up trees and barking at oncoming people at my door. In a way He helped put me back on my feet after heart surgery. What an excellent pet to have. And He wasn't just a dog to me but a companion. I enjoyed all the years with Him all the way up to His last. Great pet and great friend always!!!

    I've never really been a dog person at all (just was raised that way and naturally I gravitate more towards birds!) but my sister and b.i.l and the kids just got a maltese and she is so cute and this type of thing would be great, but my b.i.l. and sister are not home DIY people so they would have to hire someone to do this at their place. It's a fantastic idea and you are so awesome for doing that for your dog, more importantly too the dog actually likes the space (would not be fun if they didn't acclimate to the space you made for them out of love!) Great job! Thanks for sharing it all with us!

    We did a similar thing for our dog, we turned our spare guest room to an amazing play room with his dog bed and food, and we painted his name on the wall. He never goes in there though, alas.

    You, Sir, are my favourite kind of crazy about your pet! I have to add, though, that I now have three very upset kittens requesting equally adequate personal (petsonal???) living quarters. They demand we move to a house with an unused staircase... pardon me, three unused staircases which I am to transform into luxury catdiminiums immediately. Thank you for that...

    Nice work, I'd be interested to know if Molly uses the room. Dogs are social animals and don't usually like to be alone, so I'd be surprised if she used the room unless someone was near by. I don't think the work is wasted though, I can think of someone who will turn that room into a great den.

    6 years ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Yip, she uses it a lot. Often after a big walk she'll sleep in there for a few hours. And if the house is busy with too many visitors she'll take herself away in there. But she's still very sociable and spends most of the day where ever we are 👍🏼

    Great way to occupy space. Especially for sweet pet like Molly. Owning a Westie my self years ago, found so much fun and excitement. Benji his name was and so suitable for him. But on the room, well done and perfect size for her. She seems so comfortable and happy with her own room.

    'A human sister'? Unless I don't understand biology anymore, or people are so careless about their choice of words these days. Most likely it's the latter. Words mean something. I love dogs, but don't equate them with humans.

This guy loved chasing squirrels up trees and barking at oncoming people at my door. In a way He helped put me back on my feet after heart surgery. What an excellent pet to have. And He wasn't just a dog to me but a companion. I enjoyed all the years with Him all the way up to His last. Great pet and great friend always!!!

    I've never really been a dog person at all (just was raised that way and naturally I gravitate more towards birds!) but my sister and b.i.l and the kids just got a maltese and she is so cute and this type of thing would be great, but my b.i.l. and sister are not home DIY people so they would have to hire someone to do this at their place. It's a fantastic idea and you are so awesome for doing that for your dog, more importantly too the dog actually likes the space (would not be fun if they didn't acclimate to the space you made for them out of love!) Great job! Thanks for sharing it all with us!

    Nice work, I'd be interested to know if Molly uses the room. Dogs are social animals and don't usually like to be alone, so I'd be surprised if she used the room unless someone was near by. I don't think the work is wasted though, I can think of someone who will turn that room into a great den.

    6 years ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Yip, she uses it a lot. Often after a big walk she'll sleep in there for a few hours. And if the house is busy with too many visitors she'll take herself away in there. But she's still very sociable and spends most of the day where ever we are 👍🏼

    Firstly; awesome job! #2 I don't see any pictures in her room of her human family (I'm sure she would like that). And best of all, the resale use of that room can be a child's hidey-hole or storage space.

    Molly will have a cute, little retreat for when Catelyn is feeling fussy. Then, She and Catelyn will have a lovely "Girls Only" play house as soon as Catelyn figures out how sweet Molly's little retreat is. They will also need an Instagram page.

    This great. I would have had her room a little smaller and used some of that space to open up the kitchen a bit more. Also I am sure baby Catelyn will be hanging out there in a few years.

    Title threw me off. Thought the human was getting put in a room under the stairs, like Harry Potter.

    Funny how Molly wants nothing to do with the house in the garden. Sometimes you can't figure out what the objection is, they're simply having none of it.

    What a great project and cozy dog room. And, of course, when the human sister gets big enough she will LOVE hanging with the little dog in their "secret hiding place" under the stairs. Bravo!

    I love it, the brick facing on the walls looks really good to. I have a bench at the foot of my bed and since I don't make it often, my Dachshund uses it and that is his bed too, but I think maybe on my next dog, I might convert a closet or something for them

    Great way to occupy space. Especially for sweet pet like Molly. Owning a Westie my self years ago, found so much fun and excitement. Benji his name was and so suitable for him. But on the room, well done and perfect size for her. She seems so comfortable and happy with her own room.

    I love it! We don't have that in our house, so my dog has taken over my room. I have a queen sized bed, but have a 1 foot wide space against the wall for myself. Her extra bed has taken over my yoga area, and her treat shelf has replaced my sewing area

    Not if the child is raised to care for animals/ raised in the right way at all. I dont know where you got your idea of how children behave toward animals but i imagine it probably has something to say about how you were raised/how you raised YOUR kids

    'A human sister'? Unless I don't understand biology anymore, or people are so careless about their choice of words these days. Most likely it's the latter. Words mean something. I love dogs, but don't equate them with humans.

    This is super cute and all, but I have to admit my second thought was about how much better Molly's life is than that of all the homeless across the country (and around the world while we're at it)...I know, Debbie Downer and all that...

    Well that's true but are you somehow implying that these people should be doing something different? Just curious as to why you are bringing it up; I mean we ALL pretty much feel that way but bringing it up in a moment like this serves no real purpose does it?
