- a sympathetic colander, whose holes on the surface will be able to distribute the light pleasantly

What better place than yours kitchen?
2. Stool
Other super practical idea is that of turn your pot upside down now worn and use it as a seat. How about a nice stool to be placed next to your peninsula? It will be highly appreciated by your guests: better if with theaddition of a comfortable pillow!
3. Clock
To check the cooking of the pasta or your dessert in the oven, what’s better than a clock inserted inside an old pot? Buy your mechanism and place it, with the help of screws or glue, inside or outside your tool: the result will surprise you in both cases.

4. Shelf
Space, as we know, is never enough at home. If you want to recycle one pot quite capacious why not insert it inside axes of wood that they do from shelves?
Secure it to the wall with special hooks and use it where you need it most. In the bathroom for candles and perfumes but also in the kitchen as a practical spice holder.
5. Mirror
A’creative idea for decorating home with a useful item is to reuse your old pot or pan as mirror. Just glue the mirror inside which, the only care, will have to be made to measure and then you can leave it like that with its slightly rustic flavor or polish or color it depending on the environment in which you decide to use your new mirror.
