Over at Real Simple, there's a great post with all kinds of items that can be used for things other than their intended purpose. Some of my favorites are shown above - a photo album as a project organizer, shoes as a growth chart (love!), and paint chips as place cards.
Check out the post here.
I am in love with the shoe idea! I was all sad that baby Anne at 2 months has the same size feet as Evangeline at 14 months so I couldn't pass on her adorable shoes. Now I can still see them! (Unless I have another girl someday)
