- Step 1:
measure up and frame walls
I used liquid nails to attach to floor and screwed into existing walls
Add extra noggins for shelving at desired heights
Cut plaster board to size and apply with stud adhesive (apply internal sheets first, then screw in floating shelving)
Add corner angle and nail/screw plaster to timber frame and finish other side of walls
apply joint tape and plaster all joins
sand and replaster until smooth and flush
Cut cornice as per Bunnings guided video and apply using cornice cement. I tapped a couple of small nails in to hold in place (these are removed once dry)
Prime and paint!
then the best part!! Styling
