Fitted wardrobe dilemma
So I have built my first ever fitted wardrobe in an alcove as shown below. It took me a lot of time and effort and the plan was to build another in the other alcove, but now I am having second thoughts. It would be a bit trickier because it is shallower due to the door and I am thinking maybe put a stand-alone wardrobe there instead now. Would that be odd? Having one fitted and one standalone? Any input appreciated!

last monthWell done. My OH built something similar years ago in one of our bedrooms to house the hot water cylinder. You’ve done a much better job 😂. You could build another narrower one and put folded jumpers, shoes or even towels and bedding in it. Would you even get a free standing wardrobe that narrow? Or if you don’t need the storage space, a narrow dressing table and mirror would look good. There are loads for sale online. Just chucking ideas at you 😊

Kitchen Wall paint dilemma??!!
Comments (3)Hi Louise, Lovely new kitchen, such a lovely bright space too. I would suggest going a couple of shades darker than the kitchen furniture colour so you get a contrast to the furniture and flooring. This will help keep it on a neutral palette so your other furniture and accessories are not competing with too many colours. Also as your room as so much natural light you can go for a slightly stronger wall colour and it will look superb. the photo below shows a very cool grey wall you could go for a warmer grey but it give you an idea of what you could do. Painting the walls can always be changed relatively easily, so if you want a change after a few years you can and it's a lot less costly than a new kitchen! Keep us up-to-date on what colour you choose and if you have any other questions please let us know....See MorePaint over or rip out the fitted wardrobe?

Comments (9)My first instinct was to move it to a garage/basement for good storage but the more I think about it the more I think I'd prime inside and out with Kilz then apply a couple of coats of white semi-gloss (use good quality paint.. Benjamin Moore) in the same white that you'd use for all the trim in your room. Be sure to lightly sand and 'tack rag' between coats. If the handles are removable by all means remove them prior to painting...fill in holes, sand smooth and paint as previous sentence. Set up inside the way you find most functional. Buy nice new knobs ( maybe crystal?) and, if it is as tall as it appears, have crown molding installed to create a custom look. It is probably far better built than anything else you could find....See More
