wardrobes - shaker style, boutique look on a small budget. advice?

[Newhere2]

Hello,

I need to get wardrobes for our house, there are none as present. I want fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. Im not sure what to do, use a company like Sharps or use an independent company or carpenter.

I happened to go past a sharps the other day and was not impressed by what they had in their store display, looked "cheap" but maybe thats a bit harsh. The customer service lady was no good either and didn't really explain anything!

I want a shaker style painted finish, maybe on a wood veneered cupboard, solid wood would be out of rage price wise I think.

any ideas on where I should go, what I should ask ??

were located in SW london

I can recommend a carpenter, if you like: Mark at London Kiwi Carpentry.

thanks Croc.

Any other advice welcome

What did out use him for croc? I need somebody to replace damaged kitchen work surface, is that the sort of thing he'd do, d'you think?

bumping in case anyone has some other ideas or recommendations?

Hi Zinxie

Gil put in new bathrooms, wired new kitchen lights, replaced the old kitchen counter tops, replaced the old kitchen cupboard doors with custom - made ones etc. I am more than happy to give you his mobile number.

Oops! Confused two different carpenters. Mark replaced my garden fence; Gil did the kitchen / bathroom work.

Yes please, Croc. I need Gil! Where is he based? Does he have an online presence?

Hi

He is bases in sw London. If you PM me I will send you his mobile number.

Google images "buttermilk bedroom" there are some lovely pieces on there

Defo get an independent chippy - you can design exactly what you want and I personally think that wood (or mdf) painted in a bit of farrow and ball will look much classier than sharps - and be cheaper!
