The two tone (wood and white) creates extra depth that draws your eyes into thinking it’s a standard sized built-in but we cheat, in fact it’s barely 10 inches deep. If you have a busy lifestyle, you will appreciate having the dining table open to the kitchen/living and still get to eat at your dining table instead of the couch. This dining setup provides the flexibility of seating four by moving the table away from the wall and because the dining sconce can be swiveled according to your needs (hint: also doubles as work desk). For dining table with double height ceiling, consider wall sconce like above (something that swivels around can be great) or if you have extra floor space, try an arc/arch floor lamp.

Putting the hood over the litter box (the box comes with the hood anyway) reduced this undesirable behavior by 50% (I am able to monitor during the day as I work from home I know, we scoop his box at least thrice a day and always scoop up his poop right away when we know he has just did number two (we know how often he uses his litter box and we are a bit of a clean freak ourselves). If you intend to have multiple Igloos in your home, they will eventually take up quite a bit of space, but if your kitten is a large cat breed, she will eventually need a bigger litter box (for small kitten, I would suggest using the Igloo without the hood until she uses it with no problem). To conclude, I will buy a second Igloo box if it suits my second cat or a similar type of box as well designed as this at this price range.

A tall plant at the corner creates illusion of height (this home has 8.5 ft ceiling), if you can see lots of greenery from your window, adding plants inside your home will be more than ideal (bring that outdoor in! ). Instead of getting a dining set, here I save money by getting the chairs from IKEA and spurge a bit more on the dining table (did I mention that I now love rectangular pedestal table after working on this? ). The TV wall adds additional hidden storage—shelves for shoes right next to the entry door behind swing doors (using a push latch like this).

Our home is a new build and thus we were given an empty box except you can’t change where your water/gas pipes goes in an apartment building, the kitchen also came with wall and floor tiles. I am very particular about hiding the entire hood behind door because we don’t cook very often and we get to stare at our kitchen from our couch, if you need to stare at something, make sure it’s a pretty sight because WHY NOT? ! We later decided to keep the original wall tiles to save money and ALSO because my contractor told me they can’t lay this (30 cm x 60 cm (12″ x 24″) volakas marble-like ceramic tiles I have always wanted a white fridge to go with the white cabinet but at some point I was worried I could not find the right white fridge to fit because I wanted nothing but a counter depth fridge and because my kitchen is small, duh!
