16 Insanely Clever Ways to Reuse Your Household Junk

Hard at Play

Look around your kitchen and basement for cast-off items—old cabinets gathering dust, faucets that you swapped out for newer models, and kitchen implements that you never use.

Realistic enough to appeal to kids and budget-friendly enough to please grown-ups, this miniature kitchen features a faucet and sink, a trivet as a faux burner, and a converted cabinet door fitted with plexiglass to serve as a play oven. Oven knobs that really spin, a convenient towel bar, and cheerful shades of paint on the cabinet base and counters add a sense of play to the hardworking station.
