The Cat Box Solution: Under the Vanity And Through The Hole

Finally!  We have completed a make-room-for-the baby project and have been home long enough to document it (or enough to share with the world).  The top thing that needed to go from the office for the nursery makeover was the cat litter box hogging the entire floor of the closet.  

Baby + Cat Litter Box = Very Bad

We finally decided to move the cat to on the foyer closet...with some modifications since we have a detached garage and no space in the laundry room.  I wanted the cat's throne set up so that we access it from the regular door in the foyer to maintain it and the cat accesses it through a new opening in our vanity/bathroom area. 

Instead of using a prefabricated cat door, Mr. treated it like the wall opening he did in the dining/living room.  He decided to leave the baseboard alone so we (or another homeowner) can put dry wall back in the future.  We only had to buy one board of door trim and one board of wall trim for Mr. to get to work.  Luckily we have a patient cat and he seems to approve...now we need to paint and redo the foyer closet to store things other than a cat box...after we finish that nursery.
