CREATING A GREAT ROOM DIVIDER
On the bed side, display shelf has showcase lamps hidden in top section. Upholstered side faces hall. Divider, which can be made to any length, extends just beyond queen-sized bed.
IT'S A MINI-WALL WITH LIGHTS AND BOOKSHELVES!
Most teen-agers would love to have a divider like this one! From the hall, the 52 inch-high mini-wall can block a multitude of sins - unmade beds, scattered clothes, and general teen-age debris.
Basically, the divider is a heavy linen-wrapped bookcase with a ten-inch-diameter tube at one end. Designer Beryn Hammil made the 82-inch-long wall from 1 by 12's, 1/8 inch thick plywood door skins, and fabric. She used a saber saw, hammer, nails, screws and stapler.
After building the bookcase section, Ms. Hammil wrapped the tube with polyester batting to bring it up to the width of the 1 x 12's. She screwed the tube to the end of the bookcase, then painted the inside walls and shelves.
Two tops and one base strectch 11 1/2 inches beyond shelves to sandwich paperboard tube.
