“DIY hack to update them.”
She began by removing the central mirror and units, before boarding and plastering the chimney breast.
She then fixed batons to the ceiling and framed the wardrobes in MDF.
Before “removing the old hardware and repairing missing beading with left overs salvaged off the mirror”.
After adding a wooden cornice, she primed the whole thing before adding undercoat and satin paint.
As a finishing touch, she added some “nice new door knobs”.
“They look brand new,” she concluded.
“People are too quick to throw away this is a great example of recycling,” one person commented on the video.
With Sarah replying: “Exactly – I hate unnecessary waste.”
“This is absolutely beautiful. You’d pay a fortune for someone to come and fit those these days,” another added.
As a third wrote: “That’s fabulous work – hope it saves lots of theses sets from landfill and being repurposed – I honestly would not have done this myself until seeing.”
“Great job – thought those things were beyond help,” someone else commented.
“My husbands thoughts initially too,” Sarah replied.
