Good afternoon @provincialfarm 

I like what you have done :smile: It flipped between the before and after photos a few time sthen realised the bench looks so much cleaner... lol Definently an improvement! There is so much more space now and also the VJ panelong on the doors. It all flows together now.

Re: Kaboodle laundry reno with VJ panels

Thank you so much, Akanksha! I really appreciate the beautiful feedback. 

This project was down to 3-5mm clearance, it was that close to the whole area not working to the desired design. My advice is to minimise what you don’t need if the space is tight. Side panels aren’t necessary for the cabinets and not running Vj all the way down the wall will save you around 10 mm. Use the base cabinet as a wall lining.
