Okay Wendy, we'll see who gets finished first (probably you will). :rolleyes: :D
SWMBO orderd up a renovated laundry room, and after leaning and staring for two years, I've finally started ("get it going or I'll not be responsible for the consequences" said SWMBO :oo: ).
Anyway, the room is about 4 metres by 2.5 metres. It had been wallpapered and removing the paper was a PITA and left the gyprock in a sad state, as you can see. (I hate wallpaper! :(( ) Decided to panel over it instead with a thin paneling (4mm). The chosen theme is somewhat rustic.
Pic 1 gives you an idea of how the entire room looked before, with the wallpaper. (Did I mention I hate wallpaper?)
Pic 2 is the old sink and benchtop removed to the garage.
Pic 3 shows the new tiled benchtop in progress as well as the end wall which has been paneled. The panelling is 4mm tongue and groove southern pine put up in random lengths and attached with liquid nails and the occasional brad for stability whilst the glue dried. The powerpoint was changed (by me) using a new junction box shimmed to the proper depth and a GFCI point installed for safety.
Pic 4 is the wall cabinet hung, as you see, with a french cleat. But for belts and suspenders I also screwed the top mounting strip to studs as well. The shelf is adjustable on 4mm shelf pins. The carcase and shelf are birch ply with poplar face frame and decorative shelf edge banding.
Pic 5 shows the cabinet doors, which are poplar frames with 4mm birch ply flat panels in stopped dadoes. The doors are inset into the frame 10mm.
All cabinet and door construction was done with loose tenons (Domino). No finish has yet been selected.
