Storage solutions

We are fans of the show Small Space, Big Style—even more now that we actually live in a small space. I always wondered what people in tiny homes do about the litter boxes though, and usually that’s not shown on TV. One episode did talk about that, the woman had an ottoman made that was really a small skirted padded table and the litter box went under the table. Very clever but we have two litter boxes so we needed a different solution.

Last weekend, we bought a console for our TV, DVD player and cable box. We had measured the litter boxes and thought they would each fit in a cubby and they do.

So Kent took the backs off the cubbies, and then slid the litter boxes inside. So we don’t actually have to see the boxes, we bought some ceiling fixture acrylic that has a pebbled texture—think office fluorescent fixtures and you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s turned out really well. We have the console still pretty far off the wall until they get used to the boxes being in there. Plus we have got to find nubby mats that we can cut down and put behind the console—Eddie really flings the litter.

Today's projects are replacing drywall in the bedroom closet (it got wet and it stinks), and painting the bathroom.
