Turn A Cube Shelf Into A Pet Feeding Station

February 26, 2021 · In: DIY Projects, Pets, Quick Win Friday

Learn how to turn a cube shelving unit into a pet feeding station in just an hour and on a minimal budget to store all your pet’s supplies and give them their own divided dining spaces.

Welcome to the very first ever Quick Win Friday! Every Friday I’ll be sharing a quick and easy project you can do in an hour or less to get your home and life more Organized-ish.

Today I’m showing you how I turned an old 12-cube cubby shelf I had in my laundry room into a fancy schmancy pet feeding station for my kitties. And you guessed it, it took me less than an hour. I know you’ve got one of these cube shelving units hanging around your house that isn’t living up to its full potential, so pull it out, wipe it down, and let’s make a cat dining room your furry babies will want to brag about to the neighbors.

Supplies Needed For Cube Shelving Pet Feeding Station

  • Cube shelving unit (preferably with an equal amount of bottom cubbies as small pets you have)
  • Washable non-adhesive shelf liners
  • Museum Gel Dots
  • Containers for inside other cubbies

How To Repurpose Cube Shelving Into A Pet Feeding Zone

  1. Wipe down the cube shelving unit, place it where you want it to be, and secure it to the wall using safety brackets.
  2. Cut washable non-adhesive shelf liner to fit inside the bottom cubbies.
  3. Attach the shelf liners to the bottom cubbies using repositionable museum gel dots.
  4. Fill containers and bins with pet clothing, grooming tools, treats, extra toys, and other pet supplies.
  5. Add your pets’ food bowls into the bottom cubbies.

Why Use Non-Adhesive Shelf Liners?

I used the non-adhesive shelf liners because they are washable and removable. They protect the surface of your cube shelving unit from accidental water spills or food messes, and give the bowls a nonslip surface to sit on so they don’t slide around as much.

To secure them in place, the museum gel dots are perfect because you can reposition and reuse them any time you need to remove the liner to wash it. If you had used adhesive Contact paper, you would have to tear it up and replace it with fresh paper every time it got wet or dirty. Plus it would leave residue on the bottom of the cubby.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
