Bugsy Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 We needed a long, low cabinet for one corner of the lounge and couldn't find one anywhere, so decided to make one. A visit to a local 'troc' and I found a pile of Oak kitchen doors. Sorted out seven in the sizes I wanted and paid the grand total of 67 euros, a deal, or what. (They are 72 euros each new from Castorama).The unit is 2.5 metres by 0.5 by 62cm. All oak apart from a pine base. The only expensive bit was the beautiful oak plank top (102 euros). The finish is beeswax over a light-oak stain.[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/cabinet.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 [quote user="Geordie girl"]Whats a "troc" please? [8-)][/quote]It's a second-hand shop. Normally, people take stuff in to be sold on commission. After a period of time, the prices are reduced until the items are sold. Some are good for bargains, while some are expensive (prices for les anglaises)Ford Anglia............................thanks..........................................I think............[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You are joking about having that in your home??? It's like something from the 1980's[:)] I bet you have avocado bathrooms with a corner bath[:-))] Seriously though, it is horrible! Do they have skips in France?
