Both attractive and functional, an area underneath the home’s stairs to the upper level was transformed into this handy pet nook that makes it easy to organize and store supplies for furry friends, and also gives pets a cozy place of their own to relax in this modern mountain escape.

Made from pine with a dark stain, designer Brian Patrick Flynn’s team created and installed this low user-friendly Dutch-style door that closes off the pet nook from surrounding spaces in the home. Outside the pet nook door sits an industrial-style iron pet feeder with raised ceramic dog food bowls that gives pets a posh way to enjoy mealtime.

A tallboy dresser with clean modern lines and four spacious drawers provides a spot for storing everything from favorite pet toys and to cat and dog sweaters, helping keep the nook free from clutter.

Graphic art with professionally hand stretched cotton canvas over a solid wood frame depicts a feline resembling Clint Eastwood wearing a designer pashmina scarf, adding a touch of whimsy to the wall above the dresser. The top of the dresser includes decorative accessories, dog books and a modern and edgy geo cut table lamp for illumination.
