As a book lover (and librarian), I don't get to decorate my bookcases because they are too full of books! I keep whittling away and getting rid of books I think we won't read again but sometimes the husband and child overrule me and back onto the bookcase it goes. I'm the wannabe minimalist with the book hoarding tendency. lindybasenjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573346780724965126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-72899369511337989602015-08-30T11:28:42.481-04:002015-08-30T11:28:42.481-04:00Those are some great uses for baskets.

It takes a couple extra minutes but it's worth it because then I can find it on my boards. If I can't find it quickly, I take a picture and pin it to the correct board.<br /><br />When we moved, I went through my BINDERS of cuttings from magazines and got rid of almost all of them. It was the beginning of a new era.<br /><br />And it also makes me feel good because I donate all my magazines to the library, so at least I know someone else will enjoy it.Kim @ NewlyWoodwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306871325108889905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-33740650089575656082015-08-29T22:22:58.861-04:002015-08-29T22:22:58.861-04:00I've gotta say -- of all the photos you posted...I've gotta say -- of all the photos you posted, your bookcase styling is my favorite! I have lots of magazines, but I find myself opting more for Pinterest than print. Which means my magazines and catalogs pile up!

Still get a few, although when I look in the store I rarely buy one because it is usually a home décor or cooking magazine, and with the internet you can pretty much find what you want online. I don't think the internet is quite like having the actual printed version, but it doesn't clutter my home like the actual magazine does. I have a hard time parting with those, but if I keep them or tear pages out I feel I want to keep, I rarely ever refer to them again.

I don't live in that town but spend money in it and go to library and several other places of business. The thrift shop sells all magazines for 10cents to 50cents depending on what it is. Feels good to know I can help out with things I'm getting rid of anyway. I also buy books, clothing, crafts, magazines, sometimes furniture at that thrift shop. My husband has gotten like brand new name brand shorts for $2.00. It's a win/win. <br />I tend to keep my crafting zines for way too long, need to purge more of them, thanks for inspiration. <br />Love your blog, it's fantastic.

Residents often enjoy looking at them and so do the staff. I've been sending mine along when my husband visits his old friend. Sometimes it's easier giving them to someone else who can enjoy them.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770379168166199011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-45489042105148816202015-08-29T06:34:42.547-04:002015-08-29T06:34:42.547-04:00I, too, have a love of catalogs and magazines.

Then I recycle them. For catalogs, I look through them and recycle immediately. The only 1 I keep is the current year IKEA.<br /><br />I find this method frees me up to be excited about the next catalog in the mail! <br /><br />Love your blog and you have very good taste,<br /><br />GingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-52997274097505114412015-08-28T14:20:14.460-04:002015-08-28T14:20:14.460-04:00One thing I do to cut down on magazine is to tear ...One thing I do to cut down on magazine is to tear out the pages I want to read and compare to the total size of the magazine - makes it real easy to stop the subscription.<br /><br />I found some inexpensive file folders (cute, plastic, five sections, cheap Target dollar section!) and designated one for each room that I want to redo. Then I went through my backlog of magazines, tearing out the applicable pictures. Now, I am going through the folders and analyzing the pictures, tossing out the duplicate ideas and highlighting what I like about the remaining pictures. Hopefully, by the time I am ready to do the renovation, I won't be waffling on choices.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-42008009195225161462015-08-28T13:35:46.525-04:002015-08-28T13:35:46.525-04:00I go though the magazines and take out the pages t...I go though the magazines and take out the pages that I like and save the in a file thing that I have.
