Real Simple Ideas

These are all ideas from my favorite magazine Real Simple.

New Uses for Mismatched Dishware: Transform neglected dinnerware from useless to useful in a few easy steps

Steel This Idea
Turn a baking sheet into a magnetic task board by setting it inside a 16-inch plate hanger mounted to the wall. Make sure the sheet is magnetic — so good ideas will stick.














Au Bon Pan
Let them eat cake…then use the covered sheet pan to store stationery or other items that might get crumpled in a drawer.














Toast of the Room
If you find yourself with a mismatched collection or without bubbly, flip thick-walled Champagne flutes upside down to create a beautiful grouping of candle stands for a shelf or a mantel. Use heavy wineglasses for table centerpieces, as the wider mouths will provide more stability to withstand bumping.
