I’ve been meaning to take some photos of this for ages. Taken on my phone, so apologies they are not as crisp and clean as the studio shots. This is Auld Boy and Kate’s converted upstairs bathroom – Fairlie Furniture’s venerable patriarch and matriarch.
As you can see from the photos below, the cabinet has been built in a really rich coloured, characterful elm. The handle has been routered into the wood to create a smooth profiled indent. The plinth for the wash hand basin is an inch and a half thick jointed piece of character elm which has been curved to follow the lines of the bath. The waney natural edge with a nice knobbly burr has been left (not sure if you could hang your towel on it but that might be the idea).
The mirror takes up the whole of the adjoining wall. The fact it’s in the eaves of the house means that the mirror has been made to follow the same line, and it has an integrated shelf. All made from the same elm as the plinth on the cabinet. As you can see from the photos there is a toilet roll dispenser incorporated into it and a rail for hand towels.
