I have a wall in my living room that I intend to make into a cat hang out wall. I am going to put 12 inch wide by 36 inch long plank boards, in a staggered pattern, so that the cats can, literally, hang out on the wall. It will create more vertical space in my tiny home, and help alleviate some spacing issues.
I envision about 8 planks. Two in the middle of the wall, and three on each side of them, so that a cat can start low on either side, right off the floor (maybe not right off, but about 12 inches off), and go all the way up the wall, on either side- like stair steps. Does that make sense?
I want to create a mural behind the wall first. I want it to blend in with the planks, or connect the planks to some sort of design. I have thought of a tree look...but the planks will need to be horizontal with the wall, and that isn't really going to look tree like, but it might work. I would paint a trunk (well, I sure wouldn't, but I would hire someone to do it!!), and then the planks might have a few branches coming off them, with leaves, a bird house or three, etc.
Any other ideas? I am not very 'country' or 'woodsy', so I don't love the tree idea...but I have NO ability to think creatively!!!
Thanks in advance~
