I have been promising to build a pair of cabinets in our sitting room for a long time (but other people's work keeps getting in the way). Apparently the deadline is before Christmas! :shock:
The boxes themslves are simple and I make and fit a lot of these things anyway but the reason that I have delayed in making these is the surface that they need to fit against. Basically they will be going either side of the original stone chimney breast (floor to ceiling ). The back walls are rendered and there is no problem with fit there but at the side where they butt the chimney breast the stone unsurprisingly is very uneven indeed.
I don't have an actual problem in scribing a panel to fit (except for the usual faff) but I think it will look too busy and broadly a bit rubbish. (I've recently fitted some plasterboard in a room in a similar situation and it just looked wrong - although the fit was spot on).
There is no option for them to be freestanding and I suppose a closing panel could be put in front of the chimney breast but then I'd still have the same problem with the back of that and it would make the whole thing look too square :?
Has anyone got any helpful suggestions otherwise my backside will meet Father Christmas's as mine gets kicked up the chimney for not getting them in!!
Please help!!
Thanks

PS I haven't posted a pic because it takes too long on my rubbish connection but if I am not making any sense then I will.
