Anyone who has been on a mission to rid his home of rodents will have discovered how difficult a task this can be. Well the Mouse Door proposes the "if you can't beat them, join them," attitude -- or more specifically, a mentality that allows those cheese-loving creatures a way to join you.
The Canadian design studio Six Point Un has come up with an adorable limited edition skirting board with a built-in trapdoor. It seems that the arched portal itself can be installed within your existing baseboard. Measuring 3 inches in height and 2.5 inches in width, the MDF Mouse Door nestles snugly within an opening of your molding of the same size. A teeny-tiny Queen Anne brass doorknob and a miniature hinge create an air of invitation for domestic mice.
