Oak Front Platform Bed Storage Drawers - Free Standing - Solid Wood - Hand Rubbed Danish Oil

Under bed drawers are a great accessory for our platform and bunkbeds. These Solid Wood Drawers Unfinished are the perfect solution to keeping a bedroom organized, and they match our platform beds perfectly! They will also work with any other bed that has at least a 7 3/4 inch clearance underneath (and 74 inches inside dimension form head to toe of bed). They allow you to get the most space out of a small place. Under bed storage drawers are ideal for storing shoes, toys, books, blankets, papers, and any other items that tend to clutter up your space. Assembly is easy and it comes with the hardware and tools needed. Our drawers are built on four plastic wheels, so they will not scratch floors. They glide easily on carpet too, but if you have really thick carpet, we can advise you how to adapt them to promote an easier glide. Visit our Room Doctor website for information on Staining Options or call us for help. Our Beautiful Hand Rubbed Danish Oil Finish serves as a conditioner for the wood and will no doubt serve you well for many years. Its clear color will not change the natural color of the wood or the grain, but it will enhance both as it ages, to produce that rich aged look we all appreciate. Because the oil fills the pores of the wood, finger prints and day to day dirt are less likely to be absorbed into the wood in comparison to unfinished wood. NOTE: Danish Oil is NOT the same as a Lacquered/Glossy Finish; instead it is oil that leaves a slightly silky feel to natural untreated wood. This listing is for one set (2 drawers) of Oak Platform Bed Drawers with Danish Oil , but we also sell them in Pine, AND in Alternate Finishes. NOTE: Only the drawer front is Finished, but you can request to have the sides finished if that is more desirable.

They are the "Greatest Generation."

Threadbare and creative with recycling, they survived the Great Depression. The men, without reservation, signed up for probable death fighting imperialism in the Pacific and fascism and utter horror in Europe.

The women, unable to fight in the military, stayed home and kept the country's factories and infrastructure running. As a sign of respect, men wore hats and removed them upon entering a building, also as a sign of respect.

After the war, women outside the workforce kept the houses clean, raised the children, and had dinner waiting when their husbands came home from work.

Before buying a piece of clothing, stitches underwent the scrutiny of the consumer, and fabric ran between judgmental fingers. People expected to buy furniture only once, ever, and furniture was treated with delicacy; often covered with plastic to protect the fabric from stains.

Members of this generation referred to each other respectfully, using the nearly antiquated terms "Missus, Mister, and Miss," until it was agreed that to do so would negate the intimacy of friendships that were built to last as long as the furniture. Neighbors could be relied upon to wave a friendly greeting and lend the occasional cup of sugar.

This is the generation that bears witness to the 20th century in its entirety. Members don't have to use the Wikipedia to know who Joe McCarthy was and what he was about. The Greatest Generation lived passionately, paving the way for Civil Rights to take hold, for women and other minorities to start to knock down the walls of prejudice and inequality.

I am proud that my grandmother is a member of that Generation. She remembers everything. She can solve a New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle in 10 minutes flat. After I'd been practicing the game of cribbage for a year, I challenged her to a game. She skunked me no less than three times in one game.

And don't you dare call her "Kaye." It's "Mrs. Clarke" to you, buster.

She is a formidable woman, a product of the years she lived and survived as the daughter of settlers on Vashon Island, later living in both Anchorage and Seattle.

Few non-Japanese people were certified to teach the intricate and difficult method of Japanese embroidery called Bunka. As long as I can remember, her fingers were nimble and sure, working quickly to fill an 18x36 canvas with embroidered images of fish, roses, birds, and replications of classic and historic paintings and landscapes.

She tried to teach me Bunka, but I didn't have the patience. As a member of Generation X, my mind wanders, even when my hands are not idle, devil's playthings. I couldn't stare at the needle and thread as my fingers worked to poke it through canvas, trapping the thread below with a firm scratch, for hours at a time.

My grandmother could embroider all day and into the night, and she taught many Japanese immigrants her art, which originated in their country of origin. She is still corresponding with the majority of those women, and is fond of reminiscing about the days her basement classroom was full of the delightful Japanese women who attended class toward the sole end of maintaining their heritage and traditions.

Every time she and I enter a restaurant where she's been before, there's a staff member who remembers her kindness and faithful correspondence with them and their families.

Everybody loves her. She smiles without reason, and laughs easily with a palpable generosity of spirit and friendship.

Until she re-married at the age of 81, Gram worked for at least three companies as a bookkeeper. She loathes inactivity, and it drives her crazy to have the television on during the day, unless there's a baseball game to watch.

A couple of years ago, Gram was diagnosed with congenital heart failure. She's been able to lessen her decline with medication and concentrated oxygen intake. Occasionally, she requires hospitalization, usually for one night or so.

Yesterday, she was admitted into Valley Medical Center through the Emergency Room. She had fluid on her heart, and could barely breathe. Death drew nearer to her than it had ever dared. She waited six hours to be seen.

Upon examining her, the ER doctor said, "If she was 50 years old, I'd run all sorts of tests, but in her state, there isn't a lot I can do."

He admitted her, thus transferring responsibility of her care to another physician. He all but said, "Let's just put her in a room and let her die."

Overnight, with medication, Gram clawed her way back to life. Her nurse confirmed that she was in decent shape, and would probably be discharged. A family member was with her all day until about 6 in the evening.

No doctor had examined or even seen Gram since the ER last night; nearly 24 hours would pass before one would. In the HOSPITAL, where there is a high concentration of physicians, not a single doctor even poked a head in her

Misson: Shots of beautiful homes are inspiring and invite readers to journey past the page and into the homes. Show me a favourite corner of your home (or any cosy corners in your favourite hangout place). Composition is greatly under control (arrangement of furniture etc).

Another important requirement is that the photo have no people in it if possible. This is one of the reason why you can always almost imagine yourself living in that beautiful home in the magazine, because you don't see any people in it.

For those of us who might want to use more equipment, wide angle lens is almost essential to show more of the room, and lighting to achieve the effect you want.

WIT (What It Took): Well it's been a busy week - car trouble, Doctors appts, meetings and a funeral service today along with company from out of town. Needless to say, I didn't do much in the way of cleaning or staging - basically, I moved the dogs bed from the area by the side table and put my knitting in a bag. I did some tone mapping because the sunlight coming in through the window really blew out my whole side of the loveseat. Added a little warming filter and some tough up saturation to the wood on the coffee table since the tone mapping washed it out.

This really is my favorite spot to sit and read, knit, listen to music and hold conversation. Welcome to my home.
