Pine wardrobe

I have been very busy lately working on various projects. Also, I have been surprised by the large number of enquiries in what I had previously thought to be the quietest part of the year. This project was completed a few weeks ago, so here are a couple of photographs showing the finished piece. The cabinets each contain four drawers and a hanging-rail. The panelled doors slide to open, helping to save some space in a small room.

Further recent examples of cabinets & wardrobes can be seen here and more information here. For a quote, or to discuss a similar project please get in touch, follow this link.

Update: The shelving unit for records, as mentioned in my last post, is now complete . The first photo here shows the completed unit before it had been varnished. In the second photo the unit has now been spray-lacquered to bring out the beauty of the cherry-wood veneer. Click on photographs to enlarge.

This piece of furniture has been custom-made to the clients specifications for use as shelving for a vinyl record collection. If you would like a quote for a similar unit or would like to discuss your ideas for a storage / shelving project please get in touch. My contact details can be found here.

This week I have also been working on a small wardrobe. See photo below:

I will add another photograph when the project is complete.

The large fitted wardrobe from the last blog post is now finished. This triple wardrobe includes 4 hanging rails and 8 drawers. The cabinets are constructed from melamine laminated MDF. The sliding doors are grooved to emulate traditional paneled doors and finished with satinwood paint.

Stairs cupboard

The photographs below show an under-stairs cupboard. The space under a staircase can be great for storage, the challenge here was to decide how best to use this awkward shaped space. The solution was to build a walk-in cupboard at the tallest end, complete with a wardrobe clothes rail. In the middle section I fitted a 3 drawer unit hidden behind a pair of doors and at the shallow end, a large drawer to house a vacuum cleaner. The completed cupboard is now ready to paint.
