Or another option is to get a nice looking file cabinet with four drawers and file them in alphabetical order by year. 2 drawer Oak file cabinets make very nice lamp tables beside your favorite reading chair.

I have a tiny cottage so I have come up with an unusual way to store my magazines. I seem to have more closet space than floor space. Each autumn I watch for sales on baby blankets which I use for my 12 dogs, most of whom are geriatric and need a soft, comfy place to sleep. This year I found them in our rural grocery for $2.50 each; they were quite a bargain. I bought 40!
In any case, each one came in a very nice plastic zipper bag with a handle. I put about 10 mags in each one and hung them up in a closet using sturdy plastic hangers. The paper also won't age as quickly this way.

wow Connio - now that is creative thinking! Those bags are too good to throw away. I always use them somehow, usually to store valuable family blankets and quilts. They have zippers and are well made. Great idea!!!!!

Thanks ladies for all the great ideas! I will be on the lookout for the binders you mentioned Bramble. My Food and Wine mags I want to shelve with the rest of my reference books...A file cabinet next to my ugly but favorite reading chair Eileen is a super idea...and would dress it up Connie, what a great reuse for those plastic storage bags! I think you unleashed a monster here in me... Kid's artwork, newspaper articles, magazines, seed catalogs. The list is endless! Thanks! Jenny
