Hello my dears! I am so excited to share with you for today’s project, I used 6 wooden crates to build a cat tower for my cats to climb on, they are also being used as book Shelves. Both of my cats are crazy about these wall units, and having lots of fun play around them. This project is very easy and budget friendly, I hope you all enjoy it！

This is a genius idea! Especially for when you don't like cat furniture in your public spaces -- make your real furniture into cat furniture. And well presented. Subscribed.
Thank you Debbie🥰❤️💕
Excellent idea and design. I would like to suggest you cover the tops of the bookcases with some easily cleanable surface or comfortable/replacable fabric for the cat's comfort. the dollar store has these doormats or placemats . the tops of the books will be protected from dust, vomit and cat hair.
Thank you so much for the great advice, I think using the door mats would be perfect material for the tops👍👍👍 I’m going to add them on and I think my cats would definitely love that😻😘
I was thinking the same thing when I watched the video, great minds think alike 😅
I don't know why I watch these projects , I don't even have cats 😦 , however after seeing other people do nice cat trees etc but unfortunately turning the house into a cat house 🐈 this is certainly the best option of sticking things on your wall that is " multifunctional". Book shelves always add a nice touch to your home. Great job.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, happy holidays! ❤️🌷
You did a great job with explanations and videos. I appreciated that you explained how you came to the conclusion of using the crates and even gave us prices you paid at the time. I may have missed the explanation of the laser level since I first watched this on a Pinterest. Also helpful that you explained about using wall anchors because you were adding books. Thanks. I will definitely look at your channel again.
What a great idea!: Combine "utility" with Cat Habitats!
Thank you, I’m so glad you like it ❤️💕😘
@@kwenm4615 I'd love to make the guitar carse for my youngest daughter--she'd love it...
I’m sure your daughter would love it 🥰 Have fun with your project 😁❤️
I like that you also discussed ideas you initially had but decided not to go with (like floating shelves and no spacing between crates) because it give me more things to consider as I decide to set my crates up.
For example, I might have stacked my crates on top of each other, but hearing you mention why you didn't do that made me quickly realize why I probably shouldn't do it that way.
Thank you Felicia! Yes initially I thought that way would look nicer, but it wasn’t suitable with the cats😄😸
U did a really great job. It really looks lovely & is a wonderful thing for ur cats who really need as much high space & activity as possible to be happy & healthy ! REALLY GREAT !!!
This is a brilliant idea/design. End result came out beautifully. I really love how the wood staining turned out on the crates as well.
Your video inspired me to try this at home.
Thank you for sharing Kwen!

Thank you, Ginger! 🥰🌷💕
Fantastic! Best thing I've seen researching this subject! So impressive! And such a joy to see the kitties loving their new space and heights!! Brava!!! Congrats! You're such an inspiration!!
I absolutely love this idea, functional in various ways and aesthetically pleasing! I’ve watched a million diy videos on this and am for sure going with this one. The result was great and flows with the rest of the room, which can be hard to do with pet furniture. You’re very creative! I’ll probably use a few shelves as personal storage like you did and keep cute fluffy blankets in the others. Bright idea, thank you for sharing!
Thank you Adrienne, it made me so happy that you found this video helpful! 😄One thing I didn’t mention in the video, was that when you install the shelves to the wall, make sure to attach at least one screw to the stud, you can use the stud finder to locate the studs behind the drywall, this will make the shelves super strong on the wall. I hope you have fun with your project! 🌷❤️
Perfect DIY👍💖 , Such a beautiful and cute two cats 🐈⬛ 💕🐈
Love you🥰❤️💕💋

Such great job you did! You can be a good maker!
I really like your idea & showing how you did it, makes this video very informative for me.
This is a great video. Thank you!!
Thank you Rebecca, I’m glad you like it❤️💕🥰
So cute ! 🌺✨
Thank you Ambee🌷❤️
Love this! And thanks for telling us they go on sale!
My pleasure‼️I’m so glad you like it💕❤️😘
great idea...looks great...you should add screws or something to support the bottom of those crates though.....
Thank you so much❤️, I’ve been thinking about that😅 I knew I screwed the nails to the stud on the main wall, but the pantry wall doesn’t have stud, I will take your advice to add some brackets on the bottom of the crates, to give it extra support and reduce the weights of the books.
I'm thinking the same thing
超级能干！太赞了！
Great idea !
How have these held up over time? I am wondering if the crates themselves have broken or if you’ve have to reinforce them at all?
Hi Lauren, it’s been holding up very well. As the books are very heavy, I think the best way to install the crates is to screw the nails directly into the studs, you can use the stud finder to help you locate the studs behind the wall. The crates themselves have no problems at all.
请问给这个木架刷漆的时候 是用的什么？
这个用的是Minwax牌子的wood finish，颜色是Early American。你点开视频下面的描述栏里面我放链接了
颜色干了以后刷上一层保护透明漆，同一个牌子Minwax 的Polycrylic
What a wonderful gift to the kitties 😸❤💕. And practical use as well. Beautiful cats. What do you feed them because their coats are so shiny,silky & they have great muscle tone.
Thank you Ruth❤️💕Yes, both of the cats have been enjoying climbing up and down around these crates. I feed them with Blue Buffalo wilderness natural adult high protein grain free chicken dry food, this is their favorite food. I’ve tried to give them some can food for dinner, but they didn’t seem to be interested 😹
Great idea. I paint and I was thinking of putting up shelves n put a painting under each shelf. Just don’t know how well that will look. Anyway it goes my boy is getting as many wall climbing things I can afford. Thanks for the ideas. It looks great.❤
