More Storage Ideas

words of inspiration

Roberta Philbrick of North Carolina keeps her magazines organized and adds interest to her bookcases with words and sayings.

“For my magazine storage I like to use ‘word quotes’ on the backs of magazine holders so that my studio looks neat and I have motivation and inspiration from the quotes when I look around my studio,” says Roberta. “The quotes dressed up my somewhat ugly kraft paper holders; now they don’t look bad in any room in the house and on all my bookcases. When I want to find some inspiration from my magazines, I just turn the holders around and read the labels on the fronts of the kraft boxes to find the issues I’m looking for.”
