DIY Magazine Racks - Not in My House You read these days about DIY this and DIY that. That is...do it yourself for those of you who haven't become familiar with the do everything yourself world.Well, let me tell you, I read somewhere recently that a great idea would be to build your own magazine rack. I did just that and created a magazine rack with "simple materials that were easy to find" according to the plans given by the book.~~ I was so proud of my DIY rack, that I stowed it in the most important reading materials room in the house. Any guesses? Anyone who answered - the bathroom - gets a gold star. Within two weeks the load of magazines that filtered in there to be read through overflowed my DIY magazine rack and it fell apart at the seams. I took them all out and carried them back to my living room where my beautiful, sturdy, wood magazine rack that I purchased from somewhere was patiently awaiting. I could almost detect the smirk on its face. The moral to this story is, making it yourself is NOT always better. Sometimes, providing business for local area or online businesses is just plain the way to go. No shopping for materials, no feeling despondent when your DIY project falls apart, nothing like that. Just ask my magazine rack in the living room, it has been a witness. |
