(Imagine that there are doors on the wall-cabinets). http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz75/jodge/NINASTUDY2013-02-02_01_zps9b2f0bf2.jpg Consists of: 2x Hemnes 900 bookcases ($239 ea = $478) 2x Alex Drawers ($140 ea = $280) 1x Vika Amon table top ($74) (this is 2m x 60cm, if you wanted a wider desk, you could have a piece of caesarstone or laminate benchtop custom made) 4x 300mm Faktum wall cabinets ($15 ea = $60) 2x 400mm Faktum wall cabinets ($25 ea = $50) 4x Stat 300mm doors ($15 ea = $60) 2x Stat 400mm doors ($25 ea = $50) Total (not including any trims or skirtings) = $1052 Alex drawers: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Stat doors: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Or. . . you could use 2x Hemnes bedside tables instead of the Alex drawers: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 187Feb 02, 2013 2:19 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ used the idea of small opening for cutting boards etc and then shelve above shelves will be 300mm in width now also have caddys in the island bench and in the middle a tea towel rail. also the bin will be attached to door and slide out. essa stone in the pantry same as kitchen. now have the study with a shelve and file cabinet drawer one side overhead cabinets.. also going to get a bank of shelves in retreat and at side of retreat and in the family room a lowline cabinet with drawers and shelves. next the laundry ![]() ![]() Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 188Feb 02, 2013 7:50 pm Not terribly exciting. . . but practical.

Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 190Feb 02, 2013 8:13 pm Love the cabinet idea! Out toilet doesn't have a window which is where I would usually put spare toilet rolls. Never even thought to do this ![]() Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 192Feb 02, 2013 8:21 pm Hoping someone might be able to help me... I'm only looking to get a $100 credit from the builder if I delete WIR fittings... If I leave them as is but request the height of the shelf rail to be more practical for modifying later, what sort of height is ideal?

I thought everyone would laugh at me! Lilith. . . I think I remember that having the overhead shelf at about 1800 is good for a standard wardrobe with double rails. Top rail is about 100mm under this. Our builder stuffed up with our WIR. . . I have my top shelf at 1700mm, and I would have preferred 1800. On Phil's side I've gone a bit too high, having his top shelf at about 2.2m (men's shirts hang a lot lower than womens') As a good rule, go through your wardrobe until you find yours and your DH's longest piece of clothing, put it against the door frame, hold it so it hangs above the ground, then mark (with something you can rub out later, a pencil?) on the door where the rail would be. Think about what you'll be hanging where. . . trousers on the bottom rail, shirts on the top?

I hope it helps you keep everything organised. that is the idea but i do not think it will work ![]() ![]() ![]() i am thinking at moment to have cabinetmaker add a high bank of shelves at the side of the lowline cabinet in family room. what side would be better the side closet to window(in the corner) or the other side close to steps Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 197Feb 03, 2013 5:16 am love the idea of the shaving cabinet in the loo Re: DIY Pantry / Study / Linen / Laundry / ANYTHING Fitout 199Feb 03, 2013 11:29 am JODGE!!! Thank you! That's a whole lot of work you put into that design, thank so much - it is brilliant! I am now feeling quite brave, so long as I have your guidance! Initial thoughts on the design are I would rather not have cupboards up top (if we had any I'd prefer them at the bottom) and the desk is a little longer than I'd like since I want to make this a secondary desk with the real "I need to do some work" desk to go upstairs in the spare bedroom. And I’m not keen on lots of small drawer as they tend to get filled up with a load of useless cr^p! Big drawers or cupboards for toys would be preferable. To help me visualise I mocked up your design with the pictures of the items Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Then I just did a bit of googling and I wonder whether it might be better to use the billy bookcases so we can get more shelves in? I had initially not been that keen on billy because I don’t like the shelf holes that are visible, but I wonder whether these could be filled and painted (since I read on one of the sites telling you how to make them look built in that the whole bookcase should be painted afterwards anyway)? What do you think? I guess it will depend on what the measurements are and whether we could make them work with the space. Here are some pics that I found I like how the desk fits into this one, but it isn’t an Ikea hack Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Billy bookcase ikea hacks Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A more ambitious 2nd phase(!) design that could look good over the playroom doorways (once we’ve figured out what we’re doing!) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I would never ever tackle this job on my own because I am nervous about attaching the shelves to the wall – finding the studs and I would have no idea how to add mouldings, skirting, and join everything together etc. What do you think – getting too ambitious now?
