Two very different wardrobes can be seen below.

1). Wardrobe for a young woman's bedroom

The wardrobe has been custom made according to the wishes of Rachel. Still being built, it requires a picture rail along the top to finish it off.  The picture rail will be a copy of the existing picture rail (moulding) and fixed at the same height.

General description

Both cabinets are lit within whenever the doors are opened.  There is also a light in the central section with a switch behind Dopey!  In the right hand cabinet are hanging rails.  At the bottom are pull out wire baskets for shoes.

In the left hand unit is small hanging rail, jewellery trays, holders for tennis and squash racquets.

The construction material is MDF. The finish is spray painted two coats of primer followed by two coats of eggshell yellow. The blue panels were sprayed on top of the previous four coats to give a really smooth and deep colour.

The spraying was undertaken using a high volume low pressure (HVLP)  spray gun. Unlike conventional spray guns  a low pressure delivers the paint to the surface with little waste to the atmosphere. This type of spray gun is now widely used in America where  legislation exists to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) being discharged into the atmosphere.

2). Very Large wardrobe for the master bedroom

The photographs below  are of a very large wardrobe made from 5 discreet units. Total length of the wardrobe is  3.4 metres. Height is 2.1 metres.

The brief was to keep things very simple yet elegant within a house that is Edwardian and almost 100 years old.  The doors have been made with "a nod" towards the design  of the bedroom door. There is a drawer at the bottom of each unit - principally for shoes. Three of the units have a sliding tray in them. Each unit has a singe hanging rail. BTW.... The blue blanket on the bed was to protect the rather nice cream  duvet from   damage during construction,  and what appears as a peculiar speckling around the chandelier is in fact light scatter from  the camera's flashgun ...
