"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! Molly is fantastic with the baby. She is very gentle and doesn't really bother with her, other than the odd sniff. 😂 Catelyn is still only 4 months-old, so not yet crawling around; it will be interesting to see once she's on the move. Her own space definitely helps—she often goes away for some peace and quiet, when we have lots of visitors."
Bigger than I thought, around 4 square meters.
Starting point.... I thought there might be dead space behind the stairs, but wasn’t sure. Trying to sneak a look...
Most importantly.... don’t want Molly to be scared of the space, so in for an early look. Definitelt going to be big enough!
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 pannels.
Space cut out... I can now see what space we have to play with.
Door frame fitted in keeping with the internal joinery, base of frame kept in place as integral to support staircase.
Plasterboard fitted, starting to like a room.
In for a sniff and helping with the plastering/sealing.
Feature wallpaper gives an idea of what’s coming next.
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!
All moved in, proud as punch!
Posing in her new space.
Loves the cosy corner.
Finishing touches with her sign and personalised leash/harness hook.
Molly in her new, finished room.
I hope you like my Molly’s new room.
