Printer's Console or Sneaky Litterbox Cabinet?

I had been wanting to build something to hide the litterbox for a long time. When I saw the Printer's Console plan, I knew this was the perfect plan. I loved that Jen Woodhouse's version was completely modified to her bar plan, so I thought I could modify for my litterbox idea.

I modified the plans on size, as I was trying to use a bunch of mis-matched plywood. I also modified it to include a cat door, a cat passageway on interior panel, a vent on the back behind one of the drawers, and the stone top. I built a frame on the back to house the backing as an inset piece, as I didn't want it to be seen at all.

I learned a very important lesson during this build. Not all 1x3s are created equal. Once I got my doors assembled, they were too big for the opening. I couldn't shave off the tiny amount needed, and couldn't make anything work short of starting over with 1x4s, sawing off a small amount, and cutting down the # of "drawers" (and handles).

I wanted the inside to be fully finished (because cat pee on raw wood would not be good!). I had to finish certain "planes" prior to putting the thing together. I used kitchen and bath paint on the inside floor and sides for easy cleanup.

The stone was carryover from construction on our house 12 years ago. The handles were an amazing deal @ $1.81/each (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RO4V22/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00).
