New Black Designs

Back in March 2022 I posted a flat lay of the proposed finishes for our camper van we fondly call Fred. I can confirm that designing & being builder’s assistant took blood, sweat, tears and some vigorous debates. BUT we did it! My discerning client (husband) built this van from scratch, researched the requirements for every aspect, printed a trees worth of electrical plans and the result is incredible. I also have a new skill set … I’m very competent with a jigsaw. Will we do another? - Ah no! Really that’s a no! Let the adventures begin!! (Actually continue … I’m only four weeks late in creating this post 😃😎

Let's chat about laundries ...
For me, the less time in the laundry the better BUT this laundry is worth hanging out in. If this was mine, I might even consider ironing again ... only kidding!!
The original laundry was a decent size with tall ceilings but it wasn't practical, it was dreary and dated.
So how did we go about creating a hard working area that was worth appreciating? It was all about the cabinetry design, oh and let's not forget about those divine splashback tiles.
One side of the tall cabinets was designed to house a stick vacuum with a power point inside the cabinet for re-charging, the ironing board, mop, broom & bucket and the other side a set of adjustable shelves.
The overhead cabinets on the wall over the bench were designed using two different depths - 350mm deep to store detergents and the 600mm deep at the top for those rarely used items.
The base cabinets on the right hand side of the washing / dryer open to reveal two sneaky mobile laundry trolleys. Of course a hanging rail was installed and a set of shelves to join the overhead cabinets with the window.
The combination of timber and white laminate and that stunning coral tile create a practical but welcoming area to carry out laundry tasks.
