more painted MDF
I got these wardrobes fitted today. I left a gap at the top of this one due to the ceiling being so out of true. Think it looks better than a sloping cornice and hides the defect. Customer was very happy with them which is what counts.
Centre one has a removable shelf and rail fitted.

Never enough hours in the day!

Love the finish you get Mailee - I'm trying to do my own version and would be happy to be half as good!
Don't take it personally......

Some cornices do look pooh when scribed. Best with the gap, although I loathe them as it leaves a dark shadow. Even a shaker cornice would probably look naff butted up to that ceiling, it appears to be deep artex lol.
Nice job
