Message doors

Residential Architect, August, 2004 by Meghan Drueding

we live in the information age, so why waste space on uncommunicative passage doors? Simpson Door Co.'s new line of doors contains panels made of a magnetic, chalkboard-like material. The doors provide a handy spot to scribble or affix notes, make grocery lists, and doodle of draw. They come in three configurations: one door-length chalkboard panel; two vertically stacked chalkboards separated by a rail; and a chalkboard on top with a wood panel below.

Available woods include Douglas fir, maple, cherry, Western hemlock, and American red oak. So many mediums, so many messages.
