Skirting around the edges

Our bedroom and bathroom are on the top floor, within the eaves of our house. The bathroom is quite spacious, with a freestanding roll top bath and large vintage pedestal sink.

In one corner there is an alcove which is, I admit, a bit messy at the moment, as I store towels along the wooden ledge. I’ve always felt it’s not a great use of the space.

So the plan is to build some shelving across this alcove to better store our towels. There are also a few gaps around the edge that are quite drafty in the winter months. So firstly Brian has added some additional insulation to help combat the drafts.

He has a piece of wood similar to the existing skirting he kept in his workshop, so he is using that to complete the line of the skirting before building a frame over it to fit the shelves to.

Obviously his trusty laser is being used to ensure everything is straight.

I’m quite excited to see it coming together, and although we are losing some space, I think it will be a much better use of the space we have.
