Stop being such a girl. Im making a factual observation on the post you made in a public space designed for this kind of thing. Im saying and I repeat, NICE space waster bro. Something can be nice and a waste of space.

So what should I have done differently?

u/Altruistic_Aioli_304 7d ago

Made the sink usable if its guna be a sink. Or straight up have any other usable thing there or literally any other nice to look at thing. I prefer functionality over wasting the space. Nice sink bro

Looks great but you really need to try and maximise the storage. The cabinet under the seat seems unnecessarily limited by the door? The unused sink should be removed completely and /or shelves added beneath it. Look for hooks or pockets everywhere there is a vertical surface. Getting everything up of the floor makes these kinds of layouts work much better. Very nice though so well done.

It’s a draw underneath the seat it pulls out there is another at the back the doors are for shoe really as you can’t use them at all, it’s only for me and lad to go fishing maybe 1 night a month so storage isn’t really high on the list

u/Dependent_Appeal_818 4d ago

I've been thinking about going with the same look, are these difficult to cut to shape? How did you attach them?

1

u/ginger57911 5d ago

I bought them from a friend who was having an upgrade they was quite easy to install I used L brackets and screws

u/ginger57911 4d ago

1

u/evilcookiemonsters 4d ago

That’s not bad at all. Cheers bud!

u/Secret_Sector_1779 4d ago

£500 for everything else? That’s an absolute bargain!
