new uses for old things

Real Simple is a fantastic magazine and I'll admit that getting it in my mail makes me squeal. Of course, they throw a ton of ideas at you with each issue and implementing each into your life would make things Real Complicated, but they'll always have things that apply to my life or inspire me. Anyway, it's a simple article, but I really enjoy their 50 All-Time Favorite New Uses for Old Things article in this most recent issue. Three of my favorite ideas are:

Using coasters from interesting pubs as gift tags!


Repurposing a detailed frame for a vanity tray!


Using shower curtain hooks in your closet for heavy things like purses and scarves. (Which I am going to go do with my spare shower hooks. Right now...)

Check it out and get organized!

If I tell you my old things, can you tell me new uses? Or should I just get rid of...? :) M
