A simple DIY to add useful space (and a Western note) to your interior.
Spotted on the Norwegian blog Brigg: A wall-mounted magazine rack or newspaper holder made from two doweled bathroom shelves. Just tie an adjustable leather strap or old belt between the dowels, creating a vertical barrier to keep lightweight reading material in check.
