Real Simple. Genius.

I love Real Simple . End of story. You should check out their website or magazine if you haven't (I'm sure most of you have), you won't be disappointed! I was surfing the web before I went to bed last night and found some cool thing in the "New uses for old things" . I've been cleaning out and organizing a lot lately and this website gives awesome ideas on everything to do with cleaning, decorating, organizing, you name it. Here are some things that I loved... And there are lots!

This is a soap holder used as a camera case.

Ya know the coasters that you get a restaurants? They can be used as cards on presents!

Easter egg used to store goldfish. Genius! Would have never thought of that!

Rubber bands used as a grip for little kids. This really might be put to good use at our house.

Love this!!

Bobby pins to help hold pleats in place while ironing.

Straightener as a iron

Play-doh as a  sparkler holder

Put pancake mix in a empty ketchup bottle to make cooking pancakes easier

This is a bar stool that was painted and to add a little pizazz--add a tutu!

Toilet paper roll used to hold clips, bobby pins, rubber bands, etc.

Aren't these the best ideas? Most everyone has all of these items around the house, so it makes it even better-- you don't have to buy a thing to spice your life up a little bit with some simple things around the house!
