The laundry project - ongoing
Top cabinets complete
We recently decided to upgrade our laundry. Originally we wanted to knock it down and move it into another section of our home but the alternative of upgrading the space is more feasable at the moment.
This project is likely to take a few months due to other commitments but here is some progress so far.
Before.
More to come...
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @rubytuesday1953. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question.
It looks like the talented @diy_hausdesigns is single-handedly creating a trend surrounding inBuilt 16mm 1800 x 595mm Natural Wood Melamine Colourboard. Their projects are certainly garnering a lot of attention within the community.
I'm sure @diy_hausdesigns can provide some more details, but it looks like the construction is fairly straightforward. I'll include some images below of how it appears to have gone together. You'll need four lengths cut to the same length as the width of the gap. These will be the top and bottom, plus the two rear panels. Cut two lengths 32mm less than the previous boards, as these will be the shelves that fit internally. You'll cut two boards for the side panels 32mm less than the required overall height of which you would like to build the unit. All panels then need to be cut to suit the depth at which you'd like the wall unit to be.
The panels can be screwed together with Zenith 10G x 50mm Zinc Plated Countersunk Head Wood Screws. You'll find the P&N 4 Piece Quickbit Pilot Drill / Countersink Bit Set really helpful at pre-drilling and countersinking your holes simultaneously.
Please let us know if you need further assistance or have questions.

Thanks for the appreciation.
@MitchellMc has 'nailed it' 100%. It is fairly simple to put together. The rear panels provide good bracing making it quite sturdy and easy to fix to the studs.
Have fun with it 🙂
Hi @rubytuesday1953,
What colour do you want to paint the laminate shelving? You'll be pleased to know that these boards come in various other colours and styles, including white, black, arabica and driftwood. If you did want to paint the laminate, a product such as White Knight 1L Satin Accent Renew Tile And Laminate Paint can be tinted to thousands of colours for you. The timber @diy_hausdesigns has used is actually chipboard which is laminate coated with a very convincing timber grain print.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

I apologise for the out of stock product @rubytuesday1953. That product is actually 595mm wide, and @diy_hausdesigns has likely used the 295mm wide version. There is stock available of the inBuilt 16mm 1800 x 295mm Black Texture Melamine Colourboard in the Gold Coast stores.
After the weekend, I'll contact the stores to see if we can organise some inBuilt 16mm 1800 x 595mm Black Texture Melamine Colourboard via our special orders for you if you wanted to build a deeper unit.
