Work in progress
The living room
Over a year ago I put nearly all my possessions in storage, had my flat painted white throughout and tried to sell it. After months of time wasting fools I decided I'd rather carry on living here than carry on trying to sell. This left one small problem tons and tons of books, videos, CDs, records and other accumulated gubbins. I am going to need serious storage if I'm ever to get all my stuff out of storage. So started building These cabinets in my living room. Once this is finished I have to redecorate the bedroom, then turn the second bedroom into an office and then decorate the hall. Argh! Why did I start this?

My living room just before starting work on cabinets. | |
 |
Cabinet base with cunning skirting board drawer arrangement. | |
 |
Right alcove cabinet. This one will house hi-fi and video equipment. Two record decks and mixer on top and amp, dvd etc below. CDs will be in drawers up the centre. | |
| Video footage showing first real drawers in the left side alcove and then the fake drawers in the right side alcove that will hide the record decks. | ||
 |
Right alcove cabinet and bookcase. Bookcase has had it's first coat of stain and varnish. | |
 |
Left alcove cabinet and bookcase. Skirting board draws removed for varnishing. | |
 |
Test board for finale colour scheme. | |
 |
First coat of Trust Green goes on. | |
 |
Angel cleans the fireplace prior to painting. | |
 |
All most done. Just need some rugs, candle holders for the chimney. That oil painting is only photoshop. I think the mantelpiece needs a clock. | |
 |
Right hand cabinet with faux draws lifted to expose twin vinyl and CD decks. None of it properly wired in yet. | |
 |
The Sherlockian mantelpiece takes shape. | |
