I adore the mod, medal, spider-web crate, but trying to picture it in proportions large enough for our Great Dane is highly amusing. I can just see us opening the door to a spare bedroom and coming nose to nose with a wire crate that takes up the entire space. Sigh...I love my Angus, but he provides a whole new set of design challenges. Sorry to comment on such an old post, but this really cracked me up.

I actually have a wicker dog crate which is not cheap, but not as expensive as the wooden crates. It's another option. My problem is that I'm limited in how I arrange the room because Mabel's crate takes up so much room. Then again, she does sort of rule my condo. At the very least, the wicker crate is not so much an eyesore.

One solution I had was to take a door off of one of the cupboards under the sink in our guest bathroom and put the box in there. Then covered the empty doorway with a coordinating piece of fabric.

They currently inhabit the laundry room closet, but that space will eventually be converted into a bathroom. The issues are sight and smell. Despite being cleaned out sometimes more than twice a week, it's still stinky litter (and only one cat). I've tried multiple deodorizers. It's also not pretty and a litter box means litter on the floor around it, so it can't just be in any room. Similar problem needing solution: Kitty litter box and feeding bowls.

I don't think I would ever put cloth over their kennel. The purpose of a wire kennel is to allow for lots of air ventilation and I'm worried the cloth would prohibit proper ventilation. That metal crate with the Boston is to die for. Okay, maybe I'm partial because I can already see my pups hanging out in there.

I will have to make some slip covers for my guys' crates. They're so ugly and we have no place to hide them in our new house. Thanks for the ideas!
