New Use for an Old Crate

By ZolaClaire

 

Repurposed Dairy Crate

What is it with bathrooms and reading?  I'm never in this room long enough to do a whole lot of reading myself, but I do know that others enjoy their bathroom time and there's always a stack of magazines sitting on top of the tank just for that occasion.  While the stack is small, it always seems untidy and bothersome because the magazines are too large and they end up poking you in the back.  But let's face it, as long as there's a bathroom in the house, there will always be magazines, so I needed to either break down and buy a magazine rack, or repurpose something that I already had. 



As I was looking at an article about clutter busting in Domino magaizne, I saw two ideas that lead me to a cute, free solution.  The first idea was to roll-up your magazines and store them in an unused wine rack.  The second idea was to store magazines in an old wooden crate.

I combined the two ideas by using an old dairy crate, which has bottle dividers like a wine rack and the warmth and charm of something old and wooden.
