The plinth around the base is MDF ripped out of our old built in wardrobe (as is the door with the flower on it, it was sold missing said door). The plinth was totally necessary as I smashed the fuck out of the feet when I dropped it. Had to totally redesign how the top and bottom halves are connected, as the person who put it together before, completely screwed that up and ruined all the fixings. Which was part of the reason I dropped it, it just came apart in my arms as I was carrying it. I had to be helped by a nice couple who just happened to be walking along behind me. Seeing a large hairy Irishman essentially smash a pretty pink play kitchen on the footpath, probably wasn't what they were expecting on their night out.
Hacksawed down a small tension rod for the middle curtain, which itself was from a fat quarter ms_com picked up in hobby craft about 7 years ago. Trying to not buy anything new/plastic, as we'll get enough of that from family.
