I'm trying to figure out to rearrange Sigurd's crate set-up. I am trying to make it more stylish, less of an eye sore. I'd love to see pictures of your crate set-up for some inspiration.

This is completely not creative or nice-looking. I am posting this only so you see how nice your set-up probably is in comparison.

There, now don't you feel better about Sigurd's crate set up?

good_karma: that first cage looks massive, what size is it?
elisabeth - That's hilarious. I'll go check it out, is it on gshome? I really like your crate set-up idea, do you mind if I save that image for future reference/inspiration??
wildo: I love that set-up!!

I was thinking of somehow sewing my own crate cover. I'm just not sure how about to do it. Any suggestions? I was thinking of getting material that covers the whole crate, and cutting it where the edges are and stitching that back up so it's snug. I'd leave an end completely open for the door. Would that even work? lol
ETA: I'd love to get a table that would work with the crate, that would be awesome. I'll keep searching around. I'm not handy and don't know anyone who is, so I couldn't just get it made by scratch.

What is the height of that crate and where did you get it? Chrono's is 33" high but it's way too short and he's getting little white calluses on his ears from his ears rubbing the top, but I can't find anything taller ANYWHERE.This is completely not creative or nice-looking.

Hmmm!
I had purchased fabric and made little toppers, but then had to get some custom sized wall stuff cut to top the crate and then put the fabric over that, because they would pull the covers through the wires.
Oh - etsy!

I want one of those nice crates, but I can see two things happening if I got one:
1) He'd eat it.
2) He'd suddenly decide he wants back in the bed with me after I shell out hundreds of dollars for the dang thing.
He likes his space and silence when he sleeps, so he sleeps downstairs in the crate. I guess I toss and turn too much for his liking, it annoys him, lol. And he hates the sound my air purifier makes, if it's not totally quiet, he hates it. But it's just a black wire crate with a mat, nothing special...

That is my dream... but because I rent.. I need something smaller...I ditched the crate and got a 5ftx5ft indoor kennel instead. I have it set up on heavy rubber mats to protect the flooring and will eventually put a Kuranda bed in as well.
I LOVE LynnP's home for Laos/Dante... THAT is what I want some day!

I have a 54" too.. in my living room.
I wish there was a way to make it look nicer. The have been some great setups shown. I like the one wildo posted.I have a complete room just for the kennels and the wire crate and one kennel is still at Chris's place. I really have to pick that one up. So we have four kennels and one crate. However, Judge is doing so well that I don't even have to crate him at night anymore.
