Looking much better!

Ripped out all the fitted cupboard stuff, filled holes, painted the walls the same colour as the room, put two of these up:



for clothes and one of these for everything else this weekend:



Want to separate the left two cupboards from the right have two (will get the bit of wood cut tonight) and paint that so I'll have two cupboards effectively

I'll ask Dad :D

Wouldn't imagine the cupboard will be supporting so just knock out.

Love having remote lighting :D

Sub question, if I wanted to take out the old cupboard, how easy would it be? Can I just take a hammer to the blocks? :lol:

If your building a bathroom the building regs will want to know about it unless your getting someone in to do all the electrics.

Smart!

Good job done there mate... :thumbs:

Thanks guys :D

It's chocolate brown and that lighter brown, the top picture shows the colours the best, walls are cream.

It was in dire need of doing, the last time I did it was when I popped the car into a tree when I was 18 and I just couldn't be arsed to finish it, needed doing really. I actually want to spend time in there and I'm not embarrassed to let the missus stay with me now :lol:

RE: the size, if I bring the cupboard doors out to the little 'step' in the wall, I'll have about a meter to play with, should be enough for a small shower (700 or 760?) on the left and a basin on the right?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

What's the depth of them waardrobes?

That's the one issue you may have. If they aren't deep enough, you will have to rob part of the room.
Services arent a problem as they can also be worked around.

Sorry I should explain, behind the radiator is the airing cupboard with the boiler in it so there's mains water in there. Waste can go out of the external wall on the right and join up with the toilet waste that's on the back of the house. That's not a problem.

My bigger concern would be where is the water coming from/where is it going to drain away.

Been talking about it for ages but finally got round to it. Dad helped me but I chose and bought everything and did most of the donkey work. It's impossible to picture my room though and my Desire S camera is shite, but, you get the idea!

From the door:



TV on it's new floaty wall. All the cables run up into the loft, plugged into a spur, speaker cables run up into the loft and the subwoofer is sat under the light in the corner you can just see on the above picture



My stupidly large built in cupboards:



Also got some full length chocolate brown curtains and there's a light above the mirror. I've got all of the lights on a remote control, including the 5 little ones in the ceiling, one above the mirror and the big one in the corner.



C&C welcome, no stupidity is though.

The advise is with the cupboards, Dad and I are still thinking about turning them into half cupboard and half little shower room, just shower and small basin, especially when my sister is home and working and I won't be moving out for another year or so. We want to do it as cheap as possible and I'd quite like to do as much as possible (if not all of it!) on my own to try and learn. This is what it looks like inside:





The 'wall' inside you can see was the existing cupboard that hasn't got any doors on it now, think it's just breeze block. The idea is to bring the little bit of false wall forward to the wall where the slippers (not mine!) is to gain some room, then split it in half and have a shower and little basin in one half, the other half as cupboard space (probably ditch the compartments, have a chest of drawers and a rail in there). But, would the clothes get wet/mouldy so would it need a wall in behind of the doors? Could get an extractor in the wall on the right as it's an external wall, would that deal with it? Is there any regulation on the stud wall or anything there? Any help or pointers/ideas would be appreciated.
