Need some help.
I am in the process of designing a sideboard, this will sit on an oak floor in my conservatory. The intent of this is to hide the washing machine and tumble dryer.
the wall around the kitchen window and down to the top of the intended sideboard is unfortunately un finished brick. because this is such a small area I have been unable to get a plasterer interested in doing this.
To get around this problem I have panelled the exposed brickwork with AWO. Initially I thought that this would look to much especially with the oak floor. But having finished this in finishing oil and bees wax I have to say that it looks really nice.
My thoughts were to complete the panneled sides and doors in AWO, but use a different wood for the top, this will break up the AWO of the sides, doors and the wall.
Not to sure what lighter wood compliments AWO, I did think of maple/sycamore and did hold up a piece to see what it would look and I have to say I felt that this was too light.
So any advice, suggestions would really be appreciated, I need to order the wood soon because I want to start in a few weeks time.
