UPDATE: Some might be horrified by this, but I did indeed remove my jolly green 'Jude the Obscure'. I harvested a bouquet of the last blooms, inhaled the wonderful fragrance deeply and then unceremoniously proceeded to chop the bush down. I have to say that in spite of 'Jude' being a sentimental favorite for me, I do not miss it in my garden. The thorny, gangly beast is gone. Neighboring companion plants have put on a surge of growth in the past couple of weeks due to increased available sunlight in spite of the current cold temperatures. I am not sure what I will replace it with yet. Maybe I will just leave that spot bare and let the surrounding companion plants (hardy geraniums and an agastache) fill in and mature. Thank you all who encouraged me to do this! My problem with 'Jude' has been solved! :-) This post was edited by ispahan on Thu, Oct 24, 13 at 10:15

I don't want to hijack Elizabeth's thread, but I am going through the same, only have a much worse problem. My projects get really big, and I realize that in the past the boxes or baskets I have used haven't been deep enough. I was a The Old Time Pottery last weekend, - they've got a number of stores in Atlanta and I don't know if they are elsewhere. They were selling "lingerie chests" with drawers that are about the size needed for 8.5 x 11 papers, or folded legal size paper. So I bought the only 2 they had (one was their floor sample, already assembled!) and have started sticking projects in that. I have already realized I'll probably need paperweights to keep the larger piles from getting out of control and sticking so the drawers can't open. The chest is about 45" high, and the drawers look square - I would say about 14" x 14". I am planning on using these drawers and maybe if I need them some boxes. I've tried baskets before, and realize that one reason they don't work for me is that they are so heavily textured that the papers get caught by the woven strips, or it's uncomfortable for me to stick my hands in. So far, I've scoooped up the project piles on my morning room table, which serves as a desk. As long as the drawers remain easy to open (i.e., good, lasting construction of cheap furniture, as well as controlling the piles by dividing into sub-projects, if needed), this might work for me.

Seedling roots should not be allowed to dry out, whether under lights and heat mats or outside in the sun( as I am unaware of your current set up). But I have found that they need lots of water in the hot weather we have in India. Somehow if they are browning at leaf tips, I feel you may be watering them less than they need. You could segregate one or two and see how they respond to increased waterings depending on the weather you have.

Is it possible to move the door? That would the optimal scenario. A pocket door could help as well, but it still couldn't go wall-to-wall. I've never had problems with sound/privacy with a pocket door. Maybe you could put the vanity towards the back part of the wall, then install some shallow shelves behind the door, so that space isn't empty. Might help balance it a bit. Or a nice, big, heated towel rack :)
