We want to convert our double to an island queen. Any idea how the desk etc is attached to closet and walls and how to separate them as a unit to be moved to another area?
It looks like a double now; my experience with renos leads me to suggest that first you need to measure everything, then do as amdavis suggests and use the way it was assembled to tear it all apart. You will have some matching to do with the panelling so I would suggest doing as little of that as possible and install new material wherever you can, unless you can spend a lot of time with the finishes. The bed will have to be rebuilt so that will be the item that drives the project. You could use parts of the existing cabinet to cover the washer so you don't have to toss it then mount the bed next to the "new" cabinet. If you really want the washer gone, you will have a clean open area to place the bed and add as many cabinets as you wish. It will be very time consuming to match the very nice Taiwanese cabinetry so you might find a compromise style that is less time consuming.
I suppose I should ask if you plan to do this yourself? If you are, you will have less time constraints, if you're not, get a yard or a cabinet maker to give you a plan and a cost.
