Love that I've found this website and hoping that some of you might be able to offer some advice to help point me in the right direction!
I have a walk in cupboard/small storage room in a 1920's lower cottage flat, it's a complete mess so excuse the junk! However, it's old tatty plaster and some bits crumbling, over the years different owners have added dodgy looking shelving and woodwork, and ripped some off in the process. Please see images attached. Once cleared out of course, what would be the best way to get this to a clean finish with new solid shelving for long term storage use? Should I take out all the woodwork and re-skim(?) with plaster? Or put battens over it all to level it then cover everything with plasterboard? Whatever I end up doing I want to make as much use of the space as possible so no wanting to build out from the current wall level if possible.
I really don't know where to start with it so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
