New built-ins for my son's room, replacing a very ugly Ikea closet.
Design
Idea was to build it around his bed for extra snugness.
Designed in SketchUp.
Installation
The before (nevermind the mess).
Delivery of the cut panels, now I really have to start building to clear the living room.
Let's get some paint on them.
Applied two coats of Ecotec Pro Aqua, sanding with 240 grit in between.
First two elements are installed. Used biscuits, glue and screws to assemble them.
I built the big upper in the room, thinking I would be just able to fit it in. Spoiler alert, it did not fit. Had to cut off one part and trim that to make the upper fit. Sad trombone.
Managed to wrestle the upper in place together with the neighbours.
Had to trim some door panels to size.
Used a jig to cut the holes for the handles.
Keen viewers will notice the lamp is replaced. This is because the doors of the upper swung into it.
I believe this is the last built-in for this house.
