I made a little book bin (library on legs) so I could organize the boys' books in a way that we could see them easily and find new books to read. I had lots of DMs and comments from people who wanted to build their own, so here's a tutorial on how I made it. It was really easy, and it's nice to have a little piece of furniture in your child's room that you made yourself. You can buy lumber at the local hardware, or repurpose old bookshelves.
I used 3/4 " wood boards that I bought at the hardware store (if you're following my measurements, the width of the board matters).
When the glue is dry, turn the box over so that the base is on top and drill screws through the base and into the side pieces and inserts to reinforce them. This is the trickiest part because you need to be careful to get the screws in the right place. If you screw them in at an angle, you might expose the sharp tip of the screw.
Then it's time to paint the whole thing. I chose white because my wallpaper was white with black spots. I also painted the legs white, to match the outside of the box.
The fun part was the wallpaper. You could use anything on the inside – paint on dots, découpage your kids' artwork etc. If you choose to cover the inside with removable wallpaper like I did, measure the panels after the bin is put together and use a utility knife to cut the paper. I covered all the inside panels, which ended up being 12 pieces in total, but if you know which way the book bin will face, you don't need to cover the panels you won't see.
Lastly, attach the painted table legs, starting with the mounting plates. Screw a mounting plate to each corner of the bottom, about 1″ from edges. Thread a leg into each mounting plate.
The legs simply screw into the mounting plates and often have a little floor protector built in. We used those little foam pads that stick on the bottom of furniture to protect wood floors.
We love our little library book bin. It keeps piles of books off the floor and the little ones can pick a story by the cover art as they flip through it at night. If you make one, we'd love to see how it turns out! Share a photo on Instagram and tag @helenmilanhome.

Q: can i get imap access using just postfix and mailx? I have postfix and mailx installed on a CentOS 7 server.  I am able to send and receive email from the command line using the mailx command.  I am also able to read email in each user's inbox using nano /var/spool/mail/username.
My impression is that mailx and postfix only support smtp.  The problem is that I am trying to use another API (JavaMail) to read a user's inbox, and all the examples use imap or pop3 protocols.  Is there a way that I can get postfix/mailx to be accessible via imap?  Or do I have to also install dovecot before I can use imap to retrieve inbox contents?

A: Postfix is an SMTP server (and client, since it does relaying) and local delivery agent (to directories, mailbox files, etc).
mailx is a client for a variety of mail protocols and can access local mail in a variety of storage formats.
But if you want to be able to access your mail with the IMAP protocol (a communication protocol designed specifically for working with remote mailboxes, and which is hard to beat for this purpose) you will need an IMAP server.  You can choose from Dovecot, Cyrus, Courier, or some others.  I've had the best experience with Cyrus, but the configuration is a mess compared to the much easier Dovecot.
