DIY Cat Condo: From Old Dresser to Purr-fect Hideaway!

In this video, I'm turning a drawer-less & veneer damaged dumpster find into a super cool, one of a kind cat 'condo'. I had some veneer repairs to do, as well as restoring the walnut veneer on the dresser carcass. For the cat condo portion, I tried to use as much material as possible, utilizing scraps from a cabinet maker, scraps of my own from other projects, a discarded carpet roll, and for the sleeping areas, purchased dining chair cushions from a discount store and made custom pillow covers for them.
I was supposed to take part in the Furniture Flipping Pet Challenge (which released on YT last Saturday) hosted by @thekraftycreech and @coloredcaboosecreations .Unfortunately, I missed the challenge and playlist but you can find it on their pages, as well as checking out the winners!

I love the way cats always know when something belongs to them. "Yes. This is mine." LOL What an awesome project!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

And sometimes even when it doesn't. 🤣

[@Jambobist]

This keyboard, mine.

[@micheleguerra1704]

And dogs too!! Lol 😆

[@loislynncameron9608]

Evidently everything belongs to them in my house😂

[@andreaandrea6716]

I have a Raccoon friend... and, besides setting up a paddling pool for her, I got her a squeaky toy. She was THRILLED! She knew it was 'hers'/for her.

[@paulamorris4727]

Nacho has really stepped up in the Quality Control department😂. He’s definitely taking his job seriously. Way to push your own limits on this project. The results are both beautiful and functional.

Thank you for being a hero and saving this world from nasty, useless trash into something so beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous! I am so glad there are talented people like you, saving items from a landfill.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@beckyowens8232]

That is just the best footage of the kitties enjoying their new condo. You can watch that again and again. So sweet!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!

[@brandywineblue]

Lol, I love how Kitty just flops himself down in the entrance like he knows it's his house. He's saying, "I love my life, my human loves me."

[@auntietara]

First of all, since I’ve been sewing for more than 50 years and don’t do wood, let me congratulate you on your choice of a sewing machine! That’s a terrific machine, and it will run for you forever. Having a machine with no computer is a HUGE bonus! I have two that are like yours (because we’re snowbirds and spend our winters where it’s warm so I need one in each place) and I LOVE them! Some of my friends who sew have really expensive machines with a million bells and whistles … and they don’t use any of them. 🙄 The thread you used looks like Serger thread, so if you find it breaks or balls up or whatever, it’s not the machine. 🧵 Your pillow-stuffing technique was perfect. You could put a little velcro in the opening if you find you want it all the way closed, but you did an excellent job! 🤗🎉😁 Great result with the kitty condo! So proud of you for trying so many new things! You killed it! 👍🏼😁👍🏼

[@KimNevelzer]

I agree about non computerized sewing machines. I have three different machines. One from the 1930s, an old 70s Sears Kenmore and a 70s Montgomery Ward Signature. All of them are work horses that need minimal servicing. I wouldn't trade them for a modern machine ever.

[@lauralake7430]

Im a vintage machine mechanic, and i second this! Excellent machine. Use only sewing machine oil or triflow, and life will be good forever.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh yay! I'm glad it's a good one - I have plans for it. 😀 Thank you so much for watching and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

[@cantocant2346]

It's about time Nacho had his own private suite! And in typical cat fashion, he enjoys the underside of the furniture just as much as the inside.

[@boa1793]

Nacho has to share it with the other kitty. They seem to get along.

[@brittrathbunwoo7370]

Nacho is such a curious little kitty. He thoroughly checked out your workmanship, lying down in a sign of approval. Nice job Momma! You are so creative and talented. It is a joy to watch you work.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 😀

[@msk4795]

Beautiful cat condo. I think just one of your drawings on the upper white panel would be awesome. I’m sure Nacho would just loooooove to try and remove the box sitting on the front..😂

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I appreciate it! 😀

[@steven_ryan]

I agree! A mural or design would be perfect! I could see one of the kitties trying to climb on the box. 🤣 Pretty as it *would* be.

[@roydane9861]

To be honest, I thought the plants on the design were just going to be artwork on the wood, which I thought was pretty cool. My vote is for artwork rather than actual plants.

[@auntietara]

That’s exactly what I was thinking. With your artistic ability, I would do a little mural. 👍🏼

[@agcons]

I agree: use artwork instead of the actual box and plants. If my Siamese was any indication, the plants would be out of the box and on the floor in no time, with the box soon to follow.

[@ldianehigley3287]

Probably the most upscale kitty condo I have seen! Perhaps you could paint something on the white panel, you are an excellent artist. Love what you do!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching! 🙂

[@heikesenf1967]

It is absolutely beautiful. I am a cat mom myself, and oh boy would my Sophie love this. Yes, maybe paint something, possibly the plants instead of the real plants. Love your videos. Greetings from California.

[@cv990a4]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Nacho loves it, Willie wonders where the box is that it came in...

[@kristiarnquist2703]

🤣🤣🤣. Cat's are just so .. well.. cat-like! Extraordinary creatures incredibly diverse personalities!

[@karinapfel650]

OMG that is so cool! As for the white panel, what about a bouquet of flowers using some of the colour in the colour blocks?

[@beccagee5905]

I love how you used the white trim around the color blocks. It makes it more dimensional, and sets off the colors better, than the colors next to each other. It may not have been in your plan, but it was an excellent decision.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave feedback! Much appreciated!

[@jekku4688]

This is one of the cutest, most colorful and creative pet related designs I've ever seen. SURELY you would have run away with the grand prize, had you entered! It's obvious your cats love it too, hope they spend a lot of time in it! Well done, really a neat piece! (nice enough to be displayed in a home) 👍

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! 😊

[@cheryldavis8776]

I agree! It's a very functional piece of cat furniture that takes pride-of-place. Your craftsmanship is impeccable. The way you married form and function are top-notch. Well done!

[@lauriearmetta8472]

I absolutely love this cat condo, and the kitties' actions were even better!! I believe you would have definitely won the pet challenge with this awesome cat condo!!❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! 😊

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

A highly complex but aesthetically pleasing project. You clearly have an eye for the 1950s look and, having lived through that era, I can tell you that you've hit it spot on. Leaving the large white area at the top is perfect for the look with the box of plants sitting on top of the cabinet. It's also good to see Willow and Nacho right at home with their new condo. Great video of such a complex piece. Really well done.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you like it! 😺

[@Tottosmile]

I can't get over how much personality Nacho has, and how it just shines through the screen! He's really got a lust for life that I aspire to have. The piece turned out great and I hope the kitties enjoy it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much!! He really does have that spark doesn't he??

[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

My cats love to get into the bottom cubbies of my bookshelf so I leave it bare for them. Didn't even have to convert it! 😂 Love this and I'm sure the kitties do too! Would love to see more kitty flips. Furniture that functions for the human and the pet are becoming more and more popular

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you kindly!

[@darleneburatty5849]

Your skill and knowledge are admirable. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimjohnson-ely2591]

I love your flip, I think it turned out beautifully and your ethos of reusing old pieces is admirable as we have far too much waste in the world. The cats inspection of the piece, and their different reactions was just so cute and shows the different personalities of each. Kudos to you.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! We've become such a throwaway society - someone has to be done.

[@vickiwood9192]

I appreciate how you gave as much attention to detail for your four-legged customers as you do for two-legged customers. Great palace for your fur babies!

I appreciate that!

[@Sparkysings2]

That cats seems to love it as much as your viewers do! Great job!

[@gardeninggirl7300]

You are SO TALENTED! I’m glad the kitties love it! You should do a little something on the white panel to bring in the colors of the color blocked one. A couple thin stripes or something…idk. Love it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you kindly! 😀

Best cat mom ever, you made such a beautiful piece! And I loved that shot of Willie's face 😂

That was the best reveal ever!!! The kitties loved it and nacho was giving you the love eyes he was so happy! You’re a genius, Angie. This was incredibly complicated and turned out beautifully. Great work 🎉

[@carolkokx9638]

Very creative and turned out very nice

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you Sarah!! ❤️

[@mollylundquist9145]

It was simply impossible for me to figure out how you were going to pull the cat condo together---but, of course, I knew you would, and the joy of watching you do so was addictive. I think my favorite part was watching you repair the veneer, especially when you showed the result during the "reveal"---perfection! And the reveal is priceless with Nacho and Willie. Adorable. Thanks for one of the most pleasurable 40-45 minutes ever! So much fun.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@karenmosso2871]

Angie - another winning project! And great job sewing. In June, I was on a church trip to Uganda and worked with 6 women learning to use treadle sewing machines to make reusable menstrual pads to earn a living. No electricity so we also provided headlamps to sew after dark. Life offers so many possibilities as you always demonstrate with rescuing furniture. Obviously, cat approved, too.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh wow! What an experience! Thank you so much for watching!

[@SkyeSalindar]

Nacho has gotten so big! I remember when he was just an itty baby! This came out beautifully, love it and the idea of turning something that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill into something beautiful and useful for the kitties

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you!! 😊 Hasn't he grown??!!? He's going to be a XL cat when he's completely done growing!

[@laurawilders1371]

Awesome, as always!

[@manolaisvalaikis1185]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours, Angie! And I’ve seen them all, and I’m not even a cat person 😊 Your tender loving care of your cats clearly transcended into such a clever feline design of the condo. And as someone who sews a lot, I especially enjoyed sewing bit of the video - that part made the project even more versatile. Nacho should be more than excited having the time of his life in walnut-clad home. This project seems to have been simultaneously adorable, brilliant and hillarious 🎉 As for the white panel, I’d add a small painting of the plants in a box, that should be nice.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment as well as taking the time to leave feedback! Much appreciated!

[@Skye_Writer]

Love the way Nacho flopped on the floor in the entry and gave you the "I love you" slow-blink. Nacho definitely approves.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Your videos bring me so much joy. I love how you try to repurpose materials you have on hand and that you aren't afraid to try new things or shift gears if something doesn't go to plan. It's inspiring!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much!

[@annettedavenport1467]

I love this cat condo!!😊 My cats would be crazy over it. You are such a wonderful artist...May you could paint portraits of your cats on the blank white panel. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Neat idea! Thank you very much for watching! 🙂

[@cheryldavis8776]

You beautifully transitioned this 'throw-away piece of nothing' into an amazing, stylish habitat for your two delightful kitties! (It's clear they think it's the cat's meow. 😻 Sorry. Couldn't help myself!) Now, you need to start making more of them to SELL... I would definitely buy one!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@irmaespinoza8908]

I just admire how patient you are when really thinking out redesigning a piece of furniture for a particular use in mind. Also that you go with the flow on how its looking coming along and NOT FEEL intimated on making small changes if need be to get the best out of your creative vision. Also making sure to where it will be study and not just " looking nice"!

I know I watched you do it, but somehow I feel like my eyes were tricked! It is so high end! I truly admire your creativity! I love this, and I KNOW my two cats would also! At the end of the video, it looks like Nacho is perhaps taking the credit, and telling Willie how he made such a luxurious cat condo on his own! LOL! Thank you for taking us along. You did a fabulous job, Angie!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh Angie, what a wonderful design. Your work epitomizes the coffee mug saying: "I work hard so my cats can have a better life". Very lucky kitties, indeed. ❤🐱

[@nanny8675309]

Everything you do is extraordinary. It’s too bad you were unable to finish in time because you definitely would’ve placed, I would say first but one of the judges built from scratch a famous mini MCM chair for her dog that was extremely impressive. I also love that you took a piece of furniture with missing pieces at most cannot figure out what to do with and created a masterpiece😍

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 😀

Beautiful result! When I first saw the video title, I read "MGM" instead of MCM and I immediately pictured the MGM lion logo but with a cat, sort of like Mary Tyler Moore did with her MTM production company logo. And Nacho makes the perfect "lion"! I agree with another commenter that some of your art work would be preferable to the planter box that Nacho might want to play with. Once again, thanks for saving another piece from the landfill!

Any kitty would be a king or queen in that castle, great job. ❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

[@steffaniepriest7153]

Very nice job! Your tip for overlapping to get a perfect fit around minute marker 13:50 is also the perfect method for wallpaper. Overlap both, cut down the middle of both overlapped pieces, now you have a perfectly hidden seam. Just don’t forget to pull out the now cut away slice from the bottom piece. :-) You did a nice job explaining that

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you!! ☺️

I had no idea how veneers worked to sandwich wood to protect it. And thank you for changing my perception of veneers in general. I used to be guilty of thinking it was somehow subpar. I’m in my mid 20’s so these are great life lessons! I think the box doesn’t need to go on the front…I can imagine if it were my cats it would get torn off. But maybe leave it on top and plant organic cat grass? ❤

This is incredible. So inventive and you shouldn't apologize for your sewing skills.. Love this.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching! 😀

[@rvwall-e]

Perfect use! I would never have thought of it, but it is a beautiful piece that doesn’t jar with a room’s decor. Lovely job!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@horizon319]

An amazing condo for the boys! If I might suggest that a small window be added in that white panel where the plants would be... maybe a window with a little (thinner than what you had built) planter box in front so that whomever is sleeping on that shelf can get a small peek as to what's around them. You could even put curtains up if you wanted. 😅

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Great idea! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave feedback! Much appreciated!

[@deirdrebeth]

I know I'm late to this - but I was thinking of a window with a planter box that you could put wheat grass in for them to nibble on. Good for the cats, adds greenery, and lets you see inside if needed!

[@rhondasparkman3186]

AMAZING ❤ You are so talented!! I just love your cat condo, and your fur babies love it, too!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yes they sure seem to! Thank you so much for watching! 🙂

[@leannamiddlebrooks3416]

Such a fun and creative build! Thank you for sharing this one!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're so welcome!

[@VIncentSunflowers]

I have the same sewing machine - also a gift, ALSO still in my closet! The concern and skill you bring to these cast-away pieces is so meaningful. Sweet reveal, btw!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You get it then! 😀 I'm so glad you enjoy my content!

[@dottiemathews6853]

VERY PROUD OF YOU WITH THE SEWING! YOU DID A MARVELOUS JOB WITH THE PILLOWS. DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT NOT SEWING FOR A LONG TIME. I'M 63 AND I JUST STARTED BACK SEWING BACK IN JANUARY AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A SEWING MACHINE SINCE I WAS IN 10TH GRADE! LOL!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

That is wonderful Dottie!! I hope you're enjoying it! 🙂

[@pamkendrick1855]

Wow, absolutely fantastic transformation! It's a beautiful cat condo. I love watching the kitty's enjoy it😊😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Me too! Thank you so much for watching! 😀

[@emilie-mastro-desmarais]

Beautiful job! It looks amazing :)

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you!

[@hectorine3445]

I love that you put legs on it high enough so that they won't 'lose' toys under it! Beautiful work for beautiful babies!😼😸

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! 😊

[@MountainAngel01]

Wow! This piece is a piece of art!!! This would easily sell for 2k at least! You are so detail oriented. A true artist! ❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@sherrypollock5838]

As always, an amazing transformation! Nacho looks right at home, and very accepting of your considerable talent and efforts! It's hard to visualize the box attached to the white panel. I do like it on top, and you could possibly hand paint something on the panel. You'll figure it out!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@DecFirefly1210]

This is absolutely amazing. It's so creative and expensive looking. I'd guess you could easily get $700-1k if sold. Outstanding Angie...🎉

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you!

[@marialivingstone1458]

I think that white space is perfect for the owner’s (cat owner’s) names. I have been sewing as a seamstress for 42 years and I get so excited when I see or inspire someone to take up my craft. Good for you

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@anndennis7163]

I've been sewing for more than 30 years and your pillows are perfect.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😊

[@franceshurt3517]

Brilliant Angie and Andrea, total approval from the furbaby resident supervisors. You boyh are inspired and inspiring, cheers!!🥰😹💕💕👌👍👍👏🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🐾

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching Frances!

[@LunaWolf6891]

Nacho says Yep its a winner. You did an amazing job on this, thanks for the inspiration.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're most welcome! Thank YOU for watching!

[@maryhart637]

Command strips are a great way not to drill into surfaces and they are really strong and easy to remove...What a cozy little nook for your fur babies! Really love the Mondrian-esque designed front panel!❤❤❤❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yes they are. Thank you so much for watching!! 😺

[@mg2023faith]

I like that command strips idea!

[@icandothis1238]

I love that you persevered through this plan because I know that mindset: "This is for my kitties and I will make it work FOR THEM"~~I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yes! Thank you!

[@socksandpi1264]

This video makes me think back to my teen years, when I helped my brother-in-law build a playset for my niece and nephew. It was the first time I'd ever picked up a power tool. After a week, I learned I'm great with my hands, and had an incredible experience. I want to build my cat a kitty condo now.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

That is awesome! You should! Thank you so much for watching!

[@sparrowgael]

My father was a woodworker; watching you work makes me wish I'd paid attention and learned from him. You are very talented.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much!

[@MHow-qc3ns]

Brilliant! Absolutely unquestionably original. Plus you have captured the mid-century modern look perfectly. But the best part is these two kitties just love it. BRAVA!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@sylviapesek5193]

It's FABULOUS! It's (ahem) "Nacho" everyday, run of the mill kitty condo! What a monumental transformation, and I'm so happy for that poor, abused, neglected chest of drawers! It went from being unloved to being SO loved! What could be better?! 😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad you like it!! Thank you so much for watching! 😺

[@catchappie]

Nacho OWNS his new house! His reaction is fabulous and by color, it was made for him. The other kitty doesn't blend with the wood tones. I think he knows it. FABULOUS JOB!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much for watching! 😊

[@jakckt]

This video brought me joy. Imagine you must have felt much joy watching your cat explore and examine every inch of your beautiful creation! Well done.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@kathyking9578]

Look at you! You are truly a modern Renaissance woman. The work on that kitty cabinet is fantastic, your wood working, sculpting the veneer, figuring out the slats, painting and sewing are all so artistic. My guys only have a bedspread tent to play on laundry day, but I am going to make them a rope post. Nacho used it on the way up, which was so cute. Oh, and the filming of your work is another of your many talents. Thank you so much for all of this, including loving your kats and saving feral furniture,

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content Kathy!

[@melissasanders6589]

I just came across your shows. I have 2 cats as well and wanted to see what you came up with. GREAT JOB!!!!!! I'm into crafts, like dreamcatchers, wind chimes, mobiles. However, I want to get into refinishing old furniture. I think you would have won the contest. 🎉

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@namdi22]

Amazing!! Fabulous!!!👏👏👏👏

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much!

[@lilred312benett6]

I never gave veneer a second thought, let alone a positive one. I am learning so much. Thank you

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You are so welcome! I'm glad I can help! 😀

[@merlin711oregon]

I think it came out marvelous and so creative! Any cat lover who likes MCM style would be lucky to have one! Well done!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! 😃

[@bellacucina3209]

You know what it signifies when a cat partially closes her eyes at you - I Love You.

[@brendabott2863]

Love love love this! You are so creative and I truly love how much thought and work you put into every tiny detail! I am sure Nacho…and maybe even Willie at some point will enjoy this for many years to come.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you kindly!
