Reuse and repurpose your items around the house

Many home stores sell goods by categories – kitchen, bathroom or bedroom – but you don’t have to use them in those same places if you decide another location in your home is a better use of the item.

E.g. this vase is actually a mug. My friend baked me a birthday cake that was decorated with these flowers. They were so gorgeous that I saved them…. for the tiny, guest bathroom. Because the vanity is small, I needed a small container, not the big vases I usually use. When I looked in my cupboard, this mug was perfect, right?

In one of her books, Make Room for What you Love, Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room recommends using bowls and other household items for storage inside drawers and to organise your home. I immediately went to the kitchen because I have lots of little bowls and I found this little tray which, as you can see, is perfect for my bathroom counter for some daily-use items.

When did you last walk around your home and repurpose some items?

💚 Use little bowls in your bedroom or bathroom drawers

💚 Use mugs for pencils or makeup brushes.

💚 use little trays to hold your jewellery

You might as well delight daily in your pretty things rather than only delighting in them once or twice a year.

Let me know how you repurpose common household items, or just your pretty bowls.

  1. Greetings from Australia Marcia! I follow Beth’s blog and your name and link came up in a recent post of hers. You have a lovely blog! Following your suggestion in this post, today I reorganised my bathroom cupboard, and organised my things into some beautiful bowls. What a great idea! I don’t think I can upload pics into comments, so I shall email a couple to you. What a difference! All the best for the year ahead.

  2. I completely agree with the idea of reusing and repurposing items around the house. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it’s also a creative way to give new life to items that might otherwise be thrown away. Your tips for finding new uses for everyday items were very useful and inspiring. Keep up the good work!
