I am a big fan of things archery-themed, and as soon as I laid eyes on it, I was extremely envious of this arrow rack. Made from two pieces of scrap wood cast away by a neighbor and some dowels, I instantly began to wonder where I could find some arrows!
Based in Boston, Amanda fills the pages of her blog, Red Jet Whistle, with beautiful and inspirational decor, crafts, projects and designs. Her most recent project is this fantastic and simple display rack for her handmade arrows. Made from two pieces of wood that her landlord was discarding, Amanda re-imagined the scraps into a useful and simple decor element.
The arrows that are displayed are her own creations--hand cut, painted, and assembled pieces inspired by "carnivals, color wheels and primitive geometry." She sells them at her shop, Quivver, and I don't know about you but I instantly fell in love!
And my wish list has grown just a little bit longer …

im Super Minimalist, and getting my own place soon. i like pretty things too, and interesting ideas (like this arrow rack), pictures.. and looking at my current intention (for the new place) realized my space will be extremely prim and proper... and having no space for an arrow rack.
I LOVE such ideas. i love being playful, and fun, and making the space as fun as possible. But i also know in trying to make things look neat, ive passed-over several chances to line my house with conversation-items.
oh! to find a balance! to please both lords. ..i think the idea of an arrow rack is great (and it's good to know it suits someone who is interested in arrows) but come to the crunch, i'll rather have a extremely-neat looking space. - thanks for sharing the 'arrow rack' !
Could you tell me where you got that magazine rack. Just what I'm looking for!
Hello modelreject - it's a vintage piece that I scored from my landlord. Unfortunately I don't know it's origins or maker, but I have seen some like it on ebay.
JulianneMay - It is hard to find balance, I think that's why my apartment is always changing as my tastes change, but I think I've always leaned towards the more is more approach, ha ha!
Thanks Amanda. If only there was an image search that could scan the product image and find one like it :-)
