I'm done. That's it. My third and last DIY PPOR kitchen.
Just missing the sink - I'm undecided what to get. Needs to be something unobtrusive. And I'm on the lookout for an interesting 1960s stove.
This is in the visitors pad upstairs that we'll probably rent out on the short stay market.
For those interested in the nuts and bolts:
- Cupboard doors are 19mm hoop pine play stained with Sikkens Cetol HLS in light oak and then finished with Osmo Hardwax Oil.
- Benchtops are birch ply out of two 3000 x 1500 sheets. They're stained and finished with F&W Floorseal (because it's hard wearing) and then buffed for a satin finish.
- Shelves in bookshelf are 32mm hoop pine finished as per cupboard doors.
- Coloured panels are Dulux wash and wear with Osmo over the top so the finish matches the timber.
- Cupboard handles are old fuse holders.
- Island bench is from the science labs at a local school - they were tossing them out. There are three units screwed together. Loads of storage. And the drawers labelled! It will be handy when I find myself in possession of a bunch of volumetric flasks or tuning forks or spherometers. And if someone ever gives me a thermoprobe, I'll know where to stick it.
