Clever Cat Litter Box Disguise

I recall from living in a small apartment with two cats finding a place to put the litter box so it is out of the way is a challenge, but the above is an shelving unit with a cat door installed is a genius way to disguise it.

Ikea Hackers has instructions on how an Ikea EXPEDIT was used, but probably any type of shelving unit with lower doors that open wide enough to put a litter box in.

FANTASY SHADES

If you can't live where you want, you can bring a touch of that place to where you live by creating (or buying) a "Fantasy Shade"

Melissa Borrell posted on IKEA Hackers that she used an IKEA ENJE Roller Blind, developed a silhouette image on Photoshop, printed it on a silk screen then printed on the shade white ink. 

She indicated in the post:

"I first came up with the idea of the Fantasy Shades when I moved to New York City from San Francisco. I created the Fantasy Shades to create illusory shadows, giving the impression of a fantasy world outside your window. Imagine an alternate reality beyond your window with a view of cherry blossoms, tree branches or even a city that you miss. I would look out my window and miss San Francisco and with that came my first creation of the Fantasy Shades."

I love this idea and might have to try doing my own DIY version in the future, but if you are are not crafty she does sell them here.
