Magazine Holder

I was reading a magazine (All You) the other day and they had a great idea of using a wine holder as a magazine holder.  Well, we don’t drink wine, so I didn’t have a wine holder on hand, so I went to the first place I usually go to (eBay or Craigslist) and started searching to see what was out there.  I was thrilled to have found a dark brown leather one (which goes well with my office).  Even better, I got it for $3 ($7 shipped).  I couldn’t find something that nice locally for that price if I tried.

I always have magazines laying on my Project Table and taking up space.  I get a few magazines and then my neighbor and I always swap magazines, so I have a pile when I get some from her too.  I was sick of seeing the pile on my Project Table, so loved this storage idea (somewhat of a conversation piece).  My husband thought it was cool, but didn’t like the idea of the magazines being folded.  Well, I always fold my magazines back while I read them anyway, so they get distorted to begin with, so this doesn’t bother me one bit.  I guess it’s a personal thing.

Anyway, this is my latest and greatest addition to my office.  I’m thrilled to have a more organized way of storing my magazines (since the books I’m reading are currently taking up the space in my actual magazine holders).
