This page shows the fit-out of the master bedroom on our barge
Elessina. Elessina was built
by Piper Boats at Stoke on Trent to a sailaway plus level, we
completed the fit-out on our mooring at Port Medway on
the River Medway in Kent. Elessina is 60 ft long x
12'-6" wide has a 12mm thick 5ft wide flat bottom with
8/10mm thick angled side chines and a Perkins 92hp engine.

unit) bedroom cupboards

Master
bedroom bedside cabinets under construction, with bed frame in
between. Because of the bow angles, these take time to build,
and are not Ikea base cupboards, although Ikea cupboards doors
will be installed. |

Now with
Black Granite 'worktops', headboard and wave mirror above headboard. The bow
thruster and weed hatch are now boxed in, but easily accesable.
The
worktops are left over pieces from the galley and bathroom. We put them in
place, they looked good, so we thought we may as well use them. It was not
planned this way!, if fact most of the work tops had been taken off the boat
and were in the garage waiting to be dumped, when we realised we had
sufficient remaining.
|
Now with Mattress etc
Still some finishing
off to do, but it will have to wait until autumn as we are going to enjoy the
summer weather!!
We put spare pillow
cases / towels over the windows at night! It works a treat. |
