Description

After buying our new house, we wanted to expand our kitchen with a sideboard including space for an espresso machine. An unused alcove next to the stairs in our living room was ideal for this. Before a cupboard could be realized, the banister had to give way and a concrete plaster wall was placed.

Create warmth with oak

Ikea is very smart when it comes to making efficient use of tight spaces. For that reason we chose Ikea Method cupboard elements to base our sideboard on. For the solid wood part I used the sawing service of TOSIZE.co.uk. These are sawn with miter and the wood parts are connected to each other by means of slats and wood glue. Due to the awkward size, no glue clamps could be used, so lashing straps provided the solution. The plate for the back wall has started to work a little so that it did not connect seamlessly, so a number of screws were used as extra strength. In addition, 4 hollow-wall recessed boxes were fitted at the back so that the cabinet could be supplied with electricity. Very handy if there is an espresso machine. Several layers of Glitsa Parquet Varnish were used for the finish. Very pleasant paint that is well and easily processed. Sanding and painting several times is required for a nice and smooth result.
