    Default This months effort

    Built some little cupboards for the ensuite basin..... hope you like

    Nothing flash, just some veneered mdf I had lying around and a Jarrah trim. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Nice one Peter Love the glass top around the basin, with that balanced look of the cupboards.

    I assume the cupboards are screwed to the walls?

    Peter,
    You are way too modest, they look great I think a fashionable description would be "understated elegance".

    Cheers

    Default Looks like a bought one!

    Sorry Peter,

    What I really meant was it looks MUCH better than a bought one!!!. I really like your design. The veener on the doors is really quite attractive and the contrasting jarrah trim really finishes it off nicely.

    Excellent work

    Excellent in every way, not just the woodwork. The elevated cabinets should facilitate keeping the floor clean. And extending the posts to the floor, although they might reduce the former objective, gives a better appearance of stability. Another great idea worthy of stealing. Thanks for posting.

    I really like the way the wood has been integrated into the design. Great Job.

    Default Thanks all

    Thank-you gentlemen for all your kind words

    Neil, yes, it is screwed to the wall, and a liberal smearing of liquid nails for good measure

    Joe, the original idea was to have no legs underneath as you suggested to give a kind of "floating" appearance, but mdf is heavy stuff, theres about 15kgs in each of those boxes and about 25kgs in the 12mm glass top. Nothing behind those tiles but plasterboard - I had visions of the whole lot coming crashing down in the middle of the night

    Wongo, I've seen some of your stuff - if you like it, I'm stoked
