{two lovely things: magazine storage}

{two lovely things:} wood & metal along a wall in a sunny room for favourite past issues, and custom built-ins in powder blue for storing your impressive collection of vogue paris . . .

{shelter me from the storm}

A few weeks ago, misplaced tickets to an art show and, in searching for them, discovered an enormous amount of magazines all over the place. Since then, have been searching for a contractor to build custom shelving to help keep things organized, but until then, shall have to dream up creative ways to keep the magazines from taking over our place . . .

. . . love the idea of using stacks of them for a bench or low shelf, made extra chic with a beautiful, rough wood plank

{p.s.} more storage ideas for past issues
