I plucked this from the curb a few weeks ago as I was waiting for a friend to pick me up for an event.I really had no intention of using it as a magazine rack, but I didn't know what I would use it for until I was looking around for a place to store it.
Necessity is the mother of invention: the only space I had for it was my bedroom, where several vintage purses have been scattered about on the floor and on a chair, poor bags without a home.
Well looky looky, now they have a place to hang out!
Effortless projects like these are at the core of my Grunge Philosophy - guess I'm too lazy and not crafty enough for the projects that require uber talent and zeal. But I do have an ability to see, rather on the fly, how certain items can be re-purposed. I'd like to think that approximates a certain kind of creativity - at the very least I sure hope it inspires others to get their creative ya-yas out without feeling they have to be Martha Stewart perfect!
...what a great idea !
ReplyDeleteCathy P. :) have a great weekend
Thanks Cathy P, you too! Enjoy the lovely weather!
ReplyDeleteIt's just amazing what people throw away.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a brain storm and now its turned into a handy idem instead of being in your local landfill site.
Have a great weekend and I hope you find some more great treasures to share with us.
Thanks The Witch, I know, it's crazy what I see in the trash - people just chuck the entire apartment when they move out!
ReplyDeleteGenius reworking ! (no one reads magazines anymore ;-)
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, I do! Love decor mags like Elle Decor but admittedly I buy them less and less - and I would NEVER display them in a magazine rack; that would be too obvious!
ReplyDeleteLoved this idea...I see magazine racks at Value Village and now this makes me want to buy one so I can put my bags in it too. Thanks for the tip!
