WHO> April Monroe
WHERE> Sterling, Mass.
WHAT> Wanted a handmade storage rack worthy of her collection of TOH magazines.
April Monroe can't bear to toss old magazine issues. "There are so many great projects I want to try," she says. Although plastic magazine holders are inexpensive enough at office supply stores, she doesn't like the idea of placing pages full of design and remodeling ideas in holders with such little personality.
So April turned to TOH general contractor Tom Silva to help her build a container more in the spirit of the magazines it's meant to hold. Tom attached brackets typically used for porch trim to a simple wood frame to create a freestanding file with decorative scrollwork dividers. See how he and April built it using a few basic tools and materials readily available at a home center.
