I'm quite pleased with the overall end result. It's very much a "don't look too close" job. But given there used to be a wall butting up against all this I'm quite pleased.
The end panel is a bit too short, but you only see this sitting down and there will soon be a veg rack and hanging plants. The one thing I am a bit annoyed about was not giving some consideration to the light cable. Before plastering I probably could have drilled at a slight angle backwards, freed the cable and passed it through. Doing that now is still possible, but would require fixing the plaster and a repaint.... Maybe if/when we repaint the room.
Still have to touch up the wall now I've caulked and paint the skirting.
