Magazine Rack

We have needed a magazine rack in the bathroom for a while now but want to make one ourselves.. After a bit of searching I found these good designs. Two very different but both appealing designs! I like wood and anything that uses different types of wood. Like my bedside table that I made. But I also like the other design, which looks kinda art deco and could be made from some sort of recycled material? I always like that idea!



This fabric one also has an art deco feel.. I'm liking the fabric element..

Or this burlap/hessian one.. maybe combine the two designs and use hessian with the above rack..

I also don't mind this type of style as it is recycled. I also thought this style but use some kind of recycled fabric as the weave. Denim?

By the way here is my bedside table I made in high-school. Laminated plywood made into a ball using the lathe (blunted the tools every few minutes because of all the glue in it), Tasmanian Silver Oak and Tiger Myrtle for the draw. Like I said I love the mix of woods.

Glass Recycling

Groovy Green Glass are just one example of an organisation who collects wine/glass bottles and recycles them into functional items. Tumblers of all sizes, jugs, carafes, vases, candlestick holders, Jewelry and more. They have some great ideas, which I am dying to try. A set of original and unique tumblers and matching carafe from wine bottles look so retro and I love anything that's cleverly recycled. They would be quite easy to make, it would just be a case of drinking enough wine.

Maglova is another recycled glass artist who cuts and slumps recycled glass pottles into functional items such as wine glasses, vases, lights, windchimes etc.
