The space under the stairs can be turned into a room not only for your least favorite nephew but also for your most beloved dog.

The McGowan family from Glasgow, Lanarkshire, which recently welcomed an adorable baby girl into this world, came up with this idea of using the tiny room for their dog Molly. With the help of tradesman Paul McArdle , they turned that dead space into a cute room for the four-legged family member.

“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!” claims the owner of the house. Scroll down to see the charming little room that is now competing for the title of ‘Project of the Year 2017’ on myBuilder.

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!

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

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