They come with brackets and screw into your desk. Then, you just set all your cords in there and they run to whichever side of the desk you want. Like I said, the cord management containers weren't really for the desk we purchased, but they are just sort of a still felt material that is easily cut down. <br /><br />And then Andrea- the doorway was already wider than stander, but the doors we bought were a smaller set. They aren't standard full size doors. We did have to "widen" a bit, but not really anything more than what was manageable hiding behind the trim.Mrs.CFH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05329578638979400541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522561261572333129.post-45127398980035355652011-01-15T09:20:54.322-05:002011-01-15T09:20:54.322-05:00I agree that we all need to know how you organized...I agree that we all need to know how you organized those cords! Plus, we would like to do french doors. Did you widen the doorway? Essentially - what is the width of the opening you put the french doors in? We have an opening from our formal living room that i'd love to protect a little better from the sounds in the house (and keep the little ones from getting into!!)<br /><br />Love the transformation.

We saw it painted on a wall in Sherwin Williams and I've flagged that for possibly another room in our house. :) We're currently building a new house and I have to admit, I love your site - it is very inspiring and gives me lots of ideas of what to do when we move in. If only my husband were as handy as yours. I also look forward to testing out some of your freezer meals, as we are expecting our little one in April. Good luck with everything. Can't wait to hear that your little one has arrived!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888140846661828191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522561261572333129.post-66948694741001200342011-01-12T07:38:11.232-05:002011-01-12T07:38:11.232-05:00Office looks great!
