I wanted to do something in the conservatory to hide the utilities, also something that did not resemble kitchen units (not to sure I got the balance here).
This is what I came up with; the top and panels for the side and doors are AWO with oak faced ply for the inserts. The centre cupboard is made of 18mm ply edged with 2"stips of AWO.
The top has a mitred 1 1/2" surround that has been profiled. The door handles are medium oak from Screwfix.
The paneling around the window was because of the bare brick, it was such a small area to plster that I couldn't get anyone interested in doing it. I thought it would be too much oak, but seeing it in the flesh it tends to blend in well
Its S##s law when you do something like this that one of the machines will break down and need replacing. I have overcome this by making the bottom rails removable, also the top is quite heavy therefore it just sits in place. I was a bit worried about this moving but it seems ok.
It has 3 coats of finishing oil already applied and when this is really hard I will go over with burnishing cream then wax polish.
