A reader noticed the wire grille in my half-built gray shelves and wondered if I could share the source. Her husband is in the midst of building built-ins and she loves the look. Imagine the red lacquered secretary above without the wire grille - it wouldn't be the same. My shelves came with the grille but after a bit of searching I found an excellent This Old House article full of resources.

One of the sources mentioned is a company called
Rockler. They have two types available,
pre-woven wire grill and
hand woven grille, in different patterns and finishes.
The This Old House article has a complete
buying guide with links for all the screens shown above, including some great patterned metal ones. Love the chain link (C) and mosaic (D) screening. Some of these screens come in 6' and 10' foot lengths and could be used for screens, room dividers or as an interesting window treatment or focal point behind a bureau.
My shelves, before their relocation.

So funny, after seeing your great looking pic on Gwen's site, I actually went back to admire those screens again...guess I wasn't alone, thanks for sharing.
Great resources. They will likely come in handy for a projecting I am working on soon! Thanks!
Thank you for this, I was needing to find another source for this. Right up my alley!

I have used Rockler quite a bit and most recently, added those screens over wood panels for dimension. Worked like a charm. Good source for all cabinetry related parts! Marija

Thank you, thank you for this. This is just the kind of thing a client asks me about and I have to search and search files for info. And that, my friend, is why I love your blog. It's all in one place. Thank you!
Everybody has loved your interview. So many nice comments. You are truly loved.

I love the look of screening. I just posted about our master bathroom remodel and I wanted so badly to encorporate screening into the cabinetry, but we just couldn't make it work. Always love visiting here :).
Great Source!! Thanks for sharing it.
I am bookmarking these as well. Some of them will make great grills for radiator covers.
Thanks.
