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.

Kitchen Refacing

                       Kitchen cabinets before chocolate raspberry paint
                                        and satin nickel hardware

Kitchen cabinets After

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.

pale green paint ahhhh

Tomorrow we place the last of the floor tile.  Yippie !!
