Contain photos and letters in shoe boxes

You don't need to buy fancy fabric-covered storage boxes. Raid your closet for an attractive array of shoe boxes, which can hold photos, stationery, or old letters, then stack them on your bookshelves. Combine them with shirt, or gift boxes in other sizes. Affix labels noting the contents.

Contain office supplies in glass jars

For a clean, fresh look, use clear jars (and glasses) of various heights and shapes to hold office or sewing supplies.

Repeat milk bottles as vases

Maybe you're lucky enough to have milk delivered to your door each morning in these simple, old-fashioned beauties. Or maybe you're addicted to "gourmet" beverages that come in attractively shaped bottles. Whatever the case, remove the labels and they look surprisingly antique. Gather bottles of different heights and display them on a kitchen table or a shelf for a light-catching display.

Repurpose chairs as bedside tables

Seating too rickety to sustain an adult's weight works well as a bedside table, providing a useful yet unobtrusive surface in a small room.

Repurpose sugar bowls as vases

A sugar bowl is just the right size to use as a vase for a single cluster of flowers. Set it on a bookshelf or a small side table.

Repurpose saucers as soap dishes

Use the lone remaining saucer from your starter set of dishes to hold hand soap in the kitchen or bathroom.

Repurpose mugs as utensil holders

Coffee mugs make an earthy, less generic-looking alternative to those divided plastic utensil holders for buffet tables and kitchen cupboards. The handles make them easy to transport.
