Memoirs of a Peacock: Kitty Korner

We built this privacy/lounge box about 6 months ago. It hides two litter boxes, a box of litter, a scooper and has a compartment for bags, so you always have one on hand and can quickly clean out the kitties business.

I’m thankful for my hubby because he helps me build my ideas. I would’ve done a lot of this stuff by myself, but he says it’s best I don’t mess with the power tools. If you know me personally, I’m sure you can agree with him.

So how our teamwork works is by me telling him of my idea/vision, he looks at my crayon blue print and then turns it into a reality. I do all the decorating myself.

Tonight we added two shelves. We got an Ekby Jarpen shelve and brackets from Ikea. They have lots of sizes to choose from. We picked this style because it would hold our cats and I felt these brackets would be the most supportive.

I used left over fabric from the lounge box. Because the brackets cover the ends, I trimmed the fleece shorter, so it wouldn’t be where I needed to slide the end on. I then wrapped the fabric around and secured it with staples. Pop on the end brackets and trim up any areas that may need it.

**FOLLOW-UP** I had some readers ask about the actual privacy box. The materials I used were:
Plywood
2x2
Wall brackets (2)
Nails
Fabric & fleece
Foam

It's actually rather simple. Measure out the area where you want to do this. Cut the wood at home or know the measurements ahead of time and Home Depot can do it for you.

I attached the brackets to the wall. I took the 2 pieces of wood and nailed them together, so it looks like and "L". I didn't attach it to the wall. It just makes it easier to lift and remove when I mop.

To attach the fabric I used a staple gun. For the curtains I used a small dowel and two eye hooks. If you are interested in making one, send me a message. I can put more thought process into how I made this and give you better directions.
