Did your husband order every. single. thing. in the $5 subscription section on Amazon?
Mine did.
And suddenly that little crate from Lowe’s just wasn’t cutting it.
I was thrifting this weekend and came across this:
Covered in stickers and crap, but definitely worth the $10 they were asking for it.
I got some Goo Gone and a razor blade and went to work this morning whilst chatting with a friend. I also installed some casters to give it a little height.
So, so, SO much better….except for that little spot on the wall where I need to touch up the paint. Oops.
And because it’s my house…
Much improved,right?
Briliant! Now I need to find myself one of those:)
Very cute! Love it!
LOVE!
much!
lol love the whole idea but especially the random crap file. haha very nice
I def need one of those. My craft magazines are all just in a box
so sad…and so hard to find what I want!! So jealous of your thrifty find!
I want that!
Love it! Now you need to paint it orange! Lol.
Perfect reuse for it!
I have a dental appointment tomorrow. maybe I should just wait for it at your house?
Um, coolest thing ever!
We don't have magazines anymore, but I can see all my husband's hotel brocures in something like this. What was it, originally?
What a perfect solution for magazines. I totally need to find one of those… whatever that is! I think it looks like something you would find hanging on the wall in the office of a school for teacher mail boxes.
what a great find1 I love being organized
What a great idea!! I need one of those!
I wanted to give you an award! Please come on over and pick it up

Thanks!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a category called "Random Crap"!!! Awesome thrift store find and remake!!!
This makes me want to order magazines I don't want just to do the cute stand.
That is AWESOME! Now I KNOW I need a bigger home just so I can find a place to put something like this.
OMG I LOOOOOOVE IT! I need one!
Very cool!!!!
Love it, of course! I may copy and come up with a version for video games…
I totally need one of those!
Great find!
What an amazing find … it's fabulous.
Where are these in my thrift stores? lol I can think of a million things that I could use that for. Great find!
All I can say is, AWESOME!!!
Jealous. I want one.
I'll say it again. Brilliant!
what a great find!!!
Oooh! That is a cool find!
Great score!!! This works brilliantly!!
I have TONS of magazines…in baskets, under my bed, nighstands, actual magazine holders. I'd love to find somethign like this!
that is awesome!! great find!
Love it! Covet it!
Happy for you, but so JEALOUS!!! What a steal!
Very Cool. Great find and fabulous vision.
I love this! I too have magazines spilling all over the place, and I love these old organizers. Now I must find one for myself. Thanks for sharing this fantastic idea!

OH, I want one… Did they have two? It looks awesome. I love organization. I don't always have it, but it is always my goal. (you should see my desk right now…scary).
That's awesome! What a great find!
So fab!! It does need a lick of spray paint though. Red I think!

How sad that I zeroed in on the "$5 subscription on Amazon" oooh, really. I am totally checking that out! Oh, and the storage is awesome.
I'm so glad you didn't paint it, I love how organic it is… Gotta love wood =)
I'd love to have you follow me and hear what you think of my maple buffet in my living room since I'm struggling w/ what kind of finish to give it.

I love this! I am actually the one in our family who has gads of magazine subscriptions and I wish I could find something similar to your beauty of a find! Awesome!
Love this storage idea! We need to have one of those here in our home.
Thanks for sharing.

Ummm. For the record, I love your husband just a little bit more because he ordered every $5 magazine off Amazon…I pretty much think that's awesome
I'm really upset that you found this beauty and thought to use it in this fasion, and I didn't. (Just kidding). SO clever, great job!
Extremely great buy. I have been looking for a good one like it for a long time. They are "literature organizers" or Mail-room sorters" & the one you have, if wood, would cost around $60 to $150. The low-end ones are particle board, but if you're lucky enough to find a real wood one, keep it, they don't make many anymore!
