As you may have seen in my other posts here & here, you know I have two little chihuahua-mix bonded sisters. And if you’ve read the rest of my posts or the tagline of this blog, you know I love to decorate! So today I’m sharing my newly designed dog room, aka “Four Paws Hotel,” that I created in our enclosed garage that’s heated & cooled like the rest of the house.
I have been doing some dog walking & drop-ins through Rover & thought, why not host them at my own house? Of course, this meant I had an excuse to decorate & I went all out mostly thanks to Hobby Lobby. Luckily I was able to do it on a budget which I mention how after each picture below!
Hobby Lobby had an amazing 50% off ALL wall decor sale so I scored big time! Even these shelves were part of this deal.The “eat” sign is from Hobby Lobby & the bed is actually an infant mattress & sheets from a thrift store! Food bowls & water container are from T.J. Maxx & the black mat is from Dollar General.The green cushions were a hand-me-down from my mom. I cut them up to create a mini pad & bumper. The pillows were also given to me & I painted the paw w/acrylic paint!Since we used natural wood paneling to divide the room, I tried to incorporate that tone w/the wall decor & I like how it turned into a rustic, Joanna Gaines look! Ironically, the cloth to dry their feet is a Magnolia dish towel from Target that I already had.Pictures & hooks are from Hobby Lobby. The paws are 4 separate pieces that I hung side-by-side to make it look like one long leash hangar! The nightlight is from Amazon.WOOF letters are, again, from Hobby Lobby. I like how it mimics the tall Welcome sign opposite the room.The only wall pieces that are not from Hobby Lobby are the cork boards. The framed one is from Walmart & the bistro lights are from Amazon!I bought chalkboard paint & created a sign on the wood. Then I found a font I liked on fontspace.com & copied it w/chalk (I’ll change the dog’s name for each stay)! The stool is from Target & the toy tin is from a thrift store!Paws mat is from Kohl’s w/a coupon of course. The large grey rug is from Ollies (a discount store). This door conveniently opens to a fenced-in backyard!The curtains are actually 2 shower curtains from Walmart. They are hanging by twine that is tied to a hook from wall to wall.My parents helped me put pavers down outside of the room to create a walkway. We also filled the gap w/stones – both were budget-friendly purchases from Lowe’s.A close-up of how I’ve started to fill the bulletin boards. These are my dogs, Josi (Assistant Manager) & Mina (Concierge). They take their jobs very seriously 🙂
If you or anyone you know happens to be in Columbia, SC, your dogs are welcome to stay at Four Paws Hotel! Otherwise, I hope this inspires those who want to create a little dog room of their own. It’s easy to do & won’t break the bank if you look for sales & deals!
