Built in dog crate. The bottom half of our entry closet wasn't being used. So instead of having those ugly metal crates sitting in our sunroom, my husband and i decided to build this. We were able to add a small shelving system in the middle to hold dog accessories, scarves, gloves, and winter hats.
