Cat Box Counter
In preparation to create a bathroom in what was a laundry room, I built a small cabinet / counter that houses the cat's poopularium (cat box cave). Notice the cat door by the floor.
Here is a sample of the granite counter top and a couple of backsplash options.
The white tile will cover one wall of the kitchenette and the interior of the bathroom.

This door used to be 8 inches wider
Door between Mom's unit and mine.
Note the base board is missing 8 inches of baseboard. I shrunk the doorway so I would have room fro the kitchenette counter in my apt. on the other side. As shown below.

I got this counter and cabinets (all wood not pressboard) at Habitat for Humanity's RESTORE .
Add new pulls, paint and stain for about 120 total. How's that?
The "stainless steel" fridge was 188 at home depot. It is 43.5" high.
