That door in the middle looks similar to the door in my Master bath, which use to be the front porch. Not real sure about the question you asked me,(I think I'M visual) but if you used only the rails and they came off the wall just enough for magazines, like only an inch,they shouldn't take up too much room, maybe the cut edge could butt up to either side of the door. I love your iron bed sitting area, it is so inviting. And I want to build a whole fence with old doors, now to convince the hubs that it would be awesome! Lezlee

posted: 6:41 pm on February 11thRe: Got Ideas?
So cool, I think you needto put shelf brackets under them, with the drawer pulls facing the sides, to use the pulls to hold things through them or attach things with rings, and make them alternate, so every other side will have some green drawers with pulls, the galvanized part in the front is a good flat surface to label what is in each drawer... Display it inside or out, just make sure it can be seen from all 3 sides... Lezlee

I am a teacher's aide for one of my sisters, how lucky for me. There is another wonderful aide in the room with us, too. These are Content Mastery classrooms, which basically means Jr. High students with some type of disability that makes it difficult to keep up with the heavy workload, come it for extra help, or to "master the content". Some have severe disabilities to dyslexia and some I tease,(in a nice way, of course) have dis"Lazy"ia. It is a fun class because we are able to have a more homey feel and less strict environment. I worked for years in Head Start, (4 year olds) and now my babies are coming through Jr. High, so we have a special bond. Thanks for the nice comments, sorry for long-winded post. Lezlee p.s. I'm home sick, today.
