If you have room (not sure what is near that area) then you could make the fence where you have a shelf between it. Ok, I'll explain: a fence then have the shelf near the top of the fence and then another fence. Hope that makes sense. I love the idea of a sliding ladder, make the ladder decor but usable. I hope you got rid of those strips, I'm not a lover of strips either. The best thing would be is to paint them and hopefully you did that since this post! Good luck with making the house hate free!!Britney Vander Laanhttp://ontopofbutterflywings.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175083879591050390.post-82955847581616378572010-03-12T20:45:50.752-07:002010-03-12T20:45:50.752-07:00Well, first I would scrape a small paint sample of...Well, first I would scrape a small paint sample of the color you wanted to keep and have it color matched at a paint store. It would keep you from having to paint the whole room, if that is an issue. Second, I would disguise those railings by connecting various sizes of old shutters, painted your wall color, or white, and simply attach them flat to the rails, or have them sitting there tri-folded. You could also use them as extra "wall" space! It would add separation to your spaces without being totaly walled off. The best part would be that it would not cost a lot to do it. You could buy new shutters or roadside finds!! And it could always be un-done. I have some of those ledges too, I just drag out the old trusty ladder, and take care of business, (by myself I might add!) But, one of those cool sliding ladders in a library would be super!! Hope you like my ideas!

I'm about to approach mine this weekend about climbing our 10 ft ladder to put some things above our shower.

I think painted white you may like them better but perhaps adding half walls might be best. You would then have a back drop for furniture items such as your buffet without showing the back of it I love the Niche and the angle of it. I think it is great just how you have it!!Love the Decor!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04961834150274237880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175083879591050390.post-63833994575903607012010-03-10T19:29:12.033-07:002010-03-10T19:29:12.033-07:00I have posted about your giveaway on my sidebar.

I must say that you (I mean hubby) has decorated them quite nicely. :)<br /><br />As for the back of the hutch head over to Goodwill and pick up some old sheetmusic or the scrapbooking store for another color/style palette and modge podge an attractive backing onto the back of the hutch. A pretty back will make you less irritated about the railing. It would take less than an hour to do.Decor To Adorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359245078617786198noreply@blogger.com
