Woman turns the space under her stairs into a luxury dog house

Pour one out for all the London renters about to realise a dog has nicer digs than they do. Kimberly Lewis, 32, has transformed the space under her stairs into a luxurious dog house for her three-month-old Goldendoodle, Jersey. It’s pretty incredible – Jersey now has a miniature home with a front door, a mailbox, a play area, and even a special camera through which her owners can remotely dispense treats. Kimberly, from Houston, Texas, says the makeover cost just $300 (£234), and plans to decorate the mini house according to the season. For now, Jersey has her own Christmas wreath on her front door.

The transformation began with Kimberly and her husband sketching out their plan on the blank wall under the stairs, then cutting out a little door.

They then needed to add electric through the walls so Jersey could have her own light switch, a thermostat, and a camera so Kimberly and her husband could check on the pup throughout the day.

Once the major works were done, it was time for decorating; with Kimberly painting the doorframe, sticking a mailbox on front, and adding in toys, a dog bed, and bowls.

Why are dogs’ noses so wet? Dogs’ noses secrete a thin layer of mucous that helps them absorb scent. They then lick their noses to sample the scent through their mouth.
