From Vintage 50's TV to....

[Moxie574]

I have been looking for a Way to hide my kitty litter box...something that kinda blended with my decor.  I found it in the form of a vintage 50's television that I picked up at the thrift store for 15.15

I forgot to take a picture before I gutted it but here is what I started with...

 



I was paranoid when gutting it so I wore a big respirator and worked on a big rubber mat, I don't know it it kept me safer but I felt better about ripping into the TV.

After I gutted it I sanded it down, ripped out the shelf that held the guts of the TV and added a peice of wood and a little support beam to hold the litter box.  Afterwards I primed and painted it.  Originally I had a little ramp covered with astro turf for my kitty to walk up, but it took up to much room so I removed it and exchanged the legs for similar but shorter ones...all in all I think it turned out well.  Oh I also added a curtian for a little privacy and to keep my cat from trying to jump out of the box the wrong way.  SO far she seems to like it...

Oh. My. God. I LOVE this! That is such a great idea. I never would have come up with that.

OMFG! it's like that one part in the Simpsons when Bart gutted a TV at the old folks home and replaced the cathode tube with a cat! FREAKING WIN!!!

You should make picture panels to go inside so it looks like something is on TV! :'D I love it. <333

OH MY GOODNESS!!  That is freaking awesome!

That's awesome! I put mine in a nightstand. It works pretty well, but I think the kitties would appreciate a little more breathing room, like yours affords. Plus, the whole back is open which i guess would make cleaning pretty easy. Should have thought of that.... hmmm...

Thanks so much..lol I do plan on adding a picture to the inside but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't wind up getting sprayed so I started with a curtian
