Even though we've been trying to declutter we're always short of storage in our house.
The old dinning room used to contain a large sideboard against the one wall. But now, with that wall gone, we needed somewhere else to store things. Turns out mainly craft items that the children spend all their time doing!
So I made some floor to ceiling units from the pine board that I had used to make the kitchen. Really simple construction to make the carcasses, just using dominos (A large dowel type joint), glues and then screws to clamp it together. Makes a really solid unit, far better than an MDF or chipboard one.
I must confess to it taking a few months to make the doors but it's made such a difference now they're on and everything is hidden away.
The doors are a simple shaker style made with domino joints in the corners and grooved to accept the ply panel. They're all to have a painted finish.
I've gone for my black duct tape handles for now but they'll be replaced with leather at a later date!
THAT should work!
