53 Creative Ways To Repurpose Old Kitchen Stuff

Know flea markets?

AM I the only one that went back to count them?????

You do realize that people have lots of names for objects, right? Regional differences?

Way to pick gnat s**t out of pepper there, Tiny.

i am pretty sure it is called a strainer/drainer/sieve actually, collander is American English if I am correct.

Tiny the 1st pic are teapots!!!

You can hang them up with battery powered lights that can go off & on to a timer.

Monica sounds like a female, make your own conclusion ;)

Maybe there are two Monicas? Mother / daughter, roommates, cousins ...

You could always use battery operated votives instead.

Also looks like the handle is about to fall off the edge

I'd be afraid I'd burn myself on the metal handle

use battery ones, cheap at dollar store.

I'd put in tea cup hooks that the ladles could hang from, then there's no problem.

Grate comment!!

I don't think anyone does.

But really, the end result is worth it. So beautiful, so graceful - and so unique.

hahaha you and me, brother!

A useful way to use chipped or cracked ones

Are you a hoarder? Because I love beautiful old china but how many do you actually use for beverages? 8? 10? I have about 118.

No, it's not. The China can be washed.

"ruin" ? How is it ruined?

But they're growing literal tea! I think it looks neat :)

How are they ruined?

Actually, if you Google "piano planter" you will find that has been done, repeatedly, and in many cases both imaginatively and beautifully. Putting an object to an alternative purpose can be a beautiful thing.

I use old china saucers!!!! Better than putting them away in a cupboard, especially once the cup is no longer around.

Some people do that. lol. I don't know about these cups, but I "re-purposed" one of my old favorite mugs into a plant holder because it got cracked on one side and I didn't want to throw it away.

It could be they don't have a full set anymore, so they're using what they have left for pots. Or maybe they had too many cups.

Doesn't look like real china, so I think you can relax. ;)

you can set tea cups and saucers a dime a dozen at the good wills, relax

I think it says "Love" ?

Me, too!
