A Wee Quickie In the Cupboard!

One of the bedroom cupboards didn't offer much room for storage

 

The cupboard backed onto an area of wasted space above the stairs and I decided to blank off this wasted space and knock the cupboard through to provide more storage.

This may prove just to be a temporary job if the plans for a loft conversion can be progressed.

First step was to frame out the space.  I used some 2" x 1 1/2" leftover from another job.  I also framed out the slope directly over the steps. 

After sheeting the area above the stairs in plasterboard I knocked through from the cupboard and also sheeted the inside of the cupboard in plasterboard to give a finished surface.

Once sheeted the screw holes were filled, ready for a wee rub with sandpaper and eventually a coat of emulsion.

Job completed and the cupboard was promptly filled with a load of kids toys!
