I’m quite proud of our new bathroom cabinet.
Its layout is basically the same as the white laminated particleboard one we had before.
But this one is much nicer (in my opinion).
For example, the walls are just under 10 mm (0.4 inches) thick.
It’s stained plywood, painted with Tokinoise lacquer, so it looks and feels much lighter than the old one.
The drawers have full-extension slides.
The fittings are made of stainless steel... the eyelets are actually designed to carry very heavy loads... the bottom one has a fastening screw with a diameter of 20 millimeters (0.8 inches) 😱
This lacquer is supposedly the one used by the French navy for their shipbuilding wood... that should be more than enough for our bathroom 😉
Since I don’t have a professional painting booth, the finish isn’t as smooth as “regular” painted surfaces, but it has a unique charm that I really like.
On top, in front of the three LEDs, there will be a cover that lets the light shine through.
I haven’t decided exactly what it will look like yet. My current idea was to punch a stainless steel sheet with a nice pattern, but I think that might be too much metal... we’ll see... maybe it will be frosted glass, like we have in other parts of the bathroom.

I really admire how you use creativity, passion, and determination to shape your living environment yourself.

Creating your own living environmentThank you 🙂 For me, this is one of the basics of life.
Travel has a positive, inward "opening" effect (... okay ...), but I believe that home should be so comfortable that you don’t feel the need to go anywhere else.
Expressing your own creativity (which I firmly believe EVERYONE* has) brings happiness and peace.
