this brings me to think about the sliding door..
  there is at least like 4 inches of dead space between the sliding
doorpanel, and the outside sliding door sheetmetal itself.
this would be perfect for a storage pocket for thin items like magazines or
linens.

if you remove your sliding doorpanel, and build a wood or aluminum frame in
there then make your own sliding doorpanel out of thin luann veneer covered
with the covering or paint or stain of your choice and then a wire rack or wood
slats to hold the items in from falling out..

if your crafty this would not be hard to make at all..
