The perfectly functional sapele effect eggbox doors are now in the wood-to-be-recycled skip at the tip - thanks to Mum & Dad for helping us get them there!
Instead, we have 9 oak veneered doors (FSC full CoC of course) with stainless steel furniture & heavy duty hinges. We've owned them since December as I bought them when on offer. I talked Phil out of fitting them himself - he is perfectly capable, but it would take him about 1 day per door with lots of swearing & frustration. Found a chippy who gave a great quote, but his order book was full - hence only just fitted! It took him 2 days to do all 9.
We then varnished them all with a satin clear varnish. "We" was mostly Phil - I only managed to do 1 due to time constraints.
Very pleased with Mel & Tony's suggestion to put a glazed door on the kitchen which gives a weird dark corner in the hallway a little bit of natural light.
One more to sort out - the carpenter found out that although B&Q don't do the 2' width version, the manufacturer does, so we can get the airing cupboard done too.

I may have to admit...
...that I have too many clothes! I've managed to put most away in the Dressing Room's built in wardrobe, my old chest of drawers & a wardrobe that was going to go into the main bedroom but wouldn't bend around a critical corner.
"Most" was only achieved by being brutal. Several black sacks are now full of clothing ready for responsible disposal - tempted to be more organised than usual & use the Oxfam/M&S £5 voucher Plan A deal rather than use a clothes bank in a convenient car park.
