We love a good magazine around here. Currently I subscribe to Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Living, and Country Living. On top of those, I also receive catalogs from Serena & Lily, Pottery Barn, PB Kids, West Elm, Ballard Designs, One Step Ahead, and I’m sure there are a couple others I am forgetting. I also always pick up the BHG special magazines like the Storage & Organization ones. Not to mention, Scott subscribes to a couple project management magazines and a couple different golf magazines. Needless to say, we have a TON of mags around this joint!
I used to keep all of our magazines in a large basket on the bottom of our console table. That is, until the basket got completely full. So I went through and tossed the magazines I no longer wanted and kept the ones I wanted to use for reference. I was still left with a lot of magazines.
So on a recent trip to Orlando, I was able to pay a visit to the wonderful world of IKEA. I picked up some magazine holders for pennies while I was there. They were just the cheapo, white, cardboard ones. I didn’t need anything fancy.
I was so excited to get home and organize my magazines!
We have a couple bookshelves in our dining room/playroom area. I decided this would be the best place for my new magazine files. I put these bad boys together in about 5 minutes flat. I whipped up some labels in Word and was left with this…..
{I’m still in the process of “decorating” this bookshelf.}
Chevron + fun font = love!!

I am super happy with how it turned out and now it’s so easy for me to go and file my magazines away when I am done reading them! Gotta love a quick & simple organizing project!
Whatcha think? How do you store/organize your magazines?
Just the motivation I need to FINALLY organize my mags! :)
