Hey Everyone,
I made these a few weeks ago, but had to sand them and add a little more paint and wait to dry.  Had them on the floor for a few days, and the wife said thats it, put them up (Sunday).  She said I have had enough fun getting the lathe, going here, going there.  So here are the results, and one very Happy Wife and Baby!!!  
It's Just 11/16" MDF with rabbet joints and three brad nails per side, then painted with indoor/outdoor black satin spray paint. 
Thanks for looking, 
Matthew

Matthew I really like those. They are a great use for all that MDF you got.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

It sure is... I am also making some cabinets for the garage and a few more wall box shelves/cabinets for the bathroom's and thinking of making this as well  
It will be in sections, so I can move it if we ever need to upgrade to a new home. 
Thanks for looking and thanks for the comments,
Matthew

You'll have to show me how sometime .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")

Nice shadow boxes Matthew. How did you mount them to the wall?

I'd think twice about that cat litter box being so close to my CPU too. Urine has a way of corroding things. Even the fumes could cause problems with a circuit board & connectors.

Trent I used a keyhole bit and made a jig for the router table where I placed the side in between to stops and about a 1/4" towards me. Lowered the box straight on top of the bit, then pulled it toward me a 1/4" till it hit the stop. Turned it off and then did the other side. quite simple.
Used wall driller (25x #8 Nylon box for $5 or so at lowes) They say they hold 80lbs straight out and 133lbs downward. So I should have no problems with them falling! .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)")
Thanks for looking and the great question,

It was just a thought....We have the litter box in the small spare bathroom and not much room. Just thinking of ideas on paper. Have seen those litter boxes with the plants??? So just more ideas. 
Thanks,

Maybe you could turn the hidden litter box into an oak fumigating chamber! Use the "all natural" ammonia fumes to get that authentic craftsman look to your quartersawn oak for your latest Stickly project. It might take you either 3 times the normal length of fumigating time, or 2 cats and a lazy owner, to get the depth of color you want, but hey, it's "organic".
