Display for magazines and newspapers at the cabin

    Last fall I went to Wasilla to attend Alaska Picker's Picker Day.  Essential items on my list to buy were 4 heat registers from a house that was built in 1851.  It had served as a stopping place for the Underground Railroad, so regardless of whether these were actually in place during that time period, I really wanted to purchase them.  The house had been torn down and these were salvaged.

 I have a couple of ideas for the other two, but these seemed perfect to use as a display for some of the items that I have that are a bit difficult to display.  I have quite a few vintage magazines and newspapers and I think they will slip right into these two registers.  I attached them to some wood that I have managed to save from the farm burn pile.....it is good wood and has lot of potential for repurposing, it used to be part of a hay wagon.

    I dry brushed some white paint on the wooden frame and removed some of the rust from the registers, and applied a bit of green paint.  I screwed the registers to the pallet and I think this will work well at the cabin to store the newspapers and magazines.
