Corralling Catalogs

I saw these two rooms last week on Pure Style Home and Bright Bazaar's Facebook page and loved the simple organization technique of using an oversized bowl to corral magazines and catalogs.

It just so happens I own a large wooden bowl from West Elm that I had sitting on top of my fridge waiting to serve a purpose. And ever since seeing Carrie Bradshaw's collection of Vogues lining her entry hall, I haven't been able to throw an issue of my subscriptions out. So there are stacks of Elle, New York Magazine, and Travel and Leisure all over my office, living room, and bedroom floors. They needed a home. I gave them one.

And yes - there's a sneak peek of my new chevron rug from RugsUSA. It's fantastic in the small space.
