Mud room cabinet install

Our front room was looking a bit bare, so I put in this mud room cabinet to enhance the room and also have a tidy place to put your shoes.

Materials

FJ Panel

Plywood

30x19 pine

42x19 pine

Acacia timber

Hooks

Half splayed architrave

Steps

Step 1

I started out by buying the basket drawers and built the cabinet to suit them. I put tape down on the ground and made sure the baskets were going to work functionally.

 

Then I did some basic photoshopping to get a clear idea of how I wanted the final product to look.

Step 2

I made some unique touches to this side panel by tracing the contours of my guitar and cut it out with a jigsaw to give it some character.

Step 3

The final product was pretty close to my vision and I'm happy with how it turned out. Putting the tape down first really helped me to visualize it.

Re: Mud room cabinet install

Hi @Codey,

 

Another fantastic project. 

 

You've created a very stylish mudroom cabinet that is right on trend with the white paint and bare timber. I love that you used the contour of your guitar as a feature, a very cool idea.

 

The green from the plants are the pop of colour that really brings it all together. 

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

Jacob
