Thinking Outside the (Cat) Box

I really like to make things. Whether it’s cupcakes, paper airplanes, or snow angels; if it involves the magical combination of creativity and handiwork, I’m sold. I’ve already mentioned my love for making lists and crafts, but what’s occupying my mind today is making furniture. There’s nothing quite like creating something that is both art on its own and also serves a functional purpose. Last month, I got my construction quick fix from assembling an Ikea bookshelf, but it still left me yearning for something more. Today, I finally got my answer. I received an email about a new design for a cat litter box table. Sure, I thought the idea was cool, but why on earth would I spend $450 on something that I could easily make for less than $100, heck, probably less than $50?

You know what would be even better?! If I could find a cheap vintage side table, big enough to fit my cat’s litter box, and build sides around it…

Perhaps a rustic end table would be cool:

Or something a little more shabby chic:

Or I could go all modern and cubist:

Whatever I end up making, I feel good knowing that my cat will have a creative and thoughtful box to do her business in. I’ve officially become a crazy cat lady.
