Screen or Room Divider




A few years ago I created this screen. I had an old wardrobe and simply took the 3 doors off, painted them and hinged them together so that the bottom was flat.

This was the easiest project!

I also did one for my girlfriend. However the mirror in hers was no good, so I replaced with some MDF board, covered in thick wadding and then covered that in a gorgeous cream stripe fabric (just used a staple gun to put into place).

These pictures definitely don't do the screen justice! I have it against a wall in my family room hiding the return air for the ducted heating (why someone would have put that in such a prominent place is beyond me!).

This project only took me a few hrs!





Just a little photo of our first homework assignment. He was very happy to sit up and do it, and put so much thought into it. Wonder how long this will last??

First and most imortant, the family portrait is super. Love your hairdo! Your screen is fabulous. It is so gorgeous. I love the mirror, but can also imagine it with beautiful fabric. I could use one of those to hide my scrap mess!

Katrina, I just love your sons homework!
I too have a very similar screen! I bought the three panels from a garage sale for about $10,a few years ago! I never put it together, but often think about it stored away...now you have inspired me to drag it out!!
