A £9 vanity unit....a real bargain

Saw a vanity unit in Wickes a month ago...thought it a good at half price....
popped in again the beginning of this week to pick up some tongue and groove to repair the damage the cats had done to the double doors down stairs.
 
Reduced again to £39...now that was a bargain so I bought it......
Phil repaired the double doors on Wednesday
 originally glass with nasty leading we reomved the leading a couple of years ago.
I found some bead bording wall paper for the bottom sections..but the Cats used it while we were out one day as a scratching board and ruined it all...gggrrrrrrr!
 
Its taken us this long to replace it...ooops!
one of the last big jobs that needed doing down stairs too.
Phil starts his new job of Monday so we thought we wpuld try to get the last few jobs in the house done.
 My Job.....finish painting both sets of repaired doors
 KITCHEN /DINING ROOM
DINING ROOM /LOUNGE
not great picures light wasn't great.
 
BACK TO THE BARGAIN
.....in the end this unit has cost us £9 we bought it for £39, sold the old sink with taps for £30
so the unit has only cost us £9
new walk in shower on order, so we just need a new loo and tiles to finish the en suite...another big job that needed doing

 
 all the bottles and bathroom type things are now tidied away....
great for £9 don't you think?
 
The new tap was left over from doing the bathroom almost two years ago.
 
 
HAPPY DIY xx
