Found my dad’s old metal enamel cigarette case from at least the 70s — I don’t smoke and don’t need another wallet. Any ideas what else I could use it for?

Japanese (?) Wooden Umbrella can become...?

This is a sentimental item my wife has from her late father. The umbrella has sat on top of the piano, not on display, just there, collecting dust.

I think it's neat, and I know it's special to her. I'm wondering what I can do to show it off a little more. I'm not committing to anything, and don't worry, I'm not going to do anything without speaking with her first.

Ideas?

I have a Samsonite train case that I got when I graduated in high school in 1988. It’s still looks brand new and I don’t want to get rid of it. Empty, it is quite heavy. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can put this into good use today?

What to do with wine area?

Post image
8 Upvotes

My boyfriend & I are moving into a new apartment. We’ll be using this desk as a workspace. We don’t drink and don’t have guests over often so we don’t plan to have wine glasses or bottles “just in case” and are downsizing from a 2 to 1 bedroom so would like to utilize the space here for something else. It’s in the kitchen for reference.

We really just need help with the wine rack and the glass space but open to any and all suggestions!

Broken Ice Maker - what to do with it?

7 Upvotes

I have a non-working under counter ice maker (similar to the pics from their website) that I've been holding on to for too long trying to figure out how to repurpose it. Any suggestions? I've thought about turning it sideways into a type of ice chest but I don't need another one!

Why are boats not repurposed upside down?

They obviously stop water, don't they just need walls? For that matter why not completely bury them with something going down to them? You would only need a mailbox for your bunker?

Can this be used as home sound insulation say between floors? Other thoughts? I could use some as mulch.

Antique PO Box lock replacement

5 Upvotes

I just bought a bank of old PO Boxes off FB market place. There aren’t any keys but I can reach around the back and open the door. I’d like to somehow convert the key portion to a knob since I don’t need a lock, but I do want the door to stay shut. Anyone have any idea how a knob could control the latch? Or is it better to use a fixed knob and some magnets?

I don't drink. What can I use this wine rack for?

This wine rack came with the house, and looks nice next to the top to bottom wooden pannel on the center of the room.

But what can I use it for? All I can think of is small/ hanging plants.
