Looks like you've enough space to add a slide out drawer where you can store T-cut, polishing paste no. 5, Mr Sheen and some rags for the rare moments you aren't just polishing
Know what you mean about front rooms getting over-run, been there ! However I now need to move tellies down and up stairs, perhaps you have some ideas on adapting your excellent design ? Maybe an adapter to attach to a Stannah Stair Lift ?
I've been suprised that I've found some of the Sunday Night @ London Palladium quite entertaining, but the thought of heaving a telly down the stairs and plumbing in all the wiring means I've cheated and watched it on the modern(ish) colour telly (still 4:3 CRT though).
TTFN,
Jon
