I use a file cabinet to file my quilt magazines. They are filed by subscription and date into magazine holers and laid into the cabinet so the spines show. Easy to find a pattern if you know the issue and magazine that put it out. (If you remember to place the issue in the cabinet after reading it when it comes.)LOL

Love the idea. I also love what you did on the front of the file cabinet.

The cabinet is beautiful. Are those decals or did you paint that cabinet?

Verrrry clever! I have a lot of hanging folders left and two file cabinets left over from the classroom. This will be a great use for them. And to think I was going to give them away...
