laundry room door

This is the door to our laundry room. Yes, that's a cat-shaped hole in the door, so our kitties can access their litter box. (Sorry I couldn't get the cats to show the door in action. I'll keep the camera at the ready.)

I drew the silhouette on the door, a friend cut out the shape with a jig-saw, sprayed insulation foam into the hollow door and let that dry. Then I covered the cut edge in papier mache, primed and painted it. (I have the same sort of hole our bedroom door.) I like to think of our house as an artist's house---not a cluttered, eclectric, collector's home--ya know?

I updated my website with the classes and workshops I'm teaching next year...(Sorry, no papier mache door coverings included.)

  7. Hi. I copied this from you - I hope you don't mind. I first saw your blog through a link on Barbara Finwall's blog. I put mine on a cupboard door in the laundry room in a house we're remodeling. Cats (2 somali males) haven't tried it yet as we haven't moved in, but they've started sniffing around. Everyone whose seen it loves it and I credit the design to you.

    Thanks for your wonderful creativity - I'm in awe of your multiple talents and your output. How do you do it all?
