Don't throw away old pots, so you don't bite your elbows later. Experienced owners are delighted to use them like this

Many people probably have old dishes that seem to have served their purpose.

But don't rush to pass judgment on your pots and basins - it's not time to send them to the landfill yet.

Even the most worn-out items with rust and traces of an unequal struggle with time and dirt can serve you for a long time.

They will be useful both for an apartment and for a summer house. For both practical and aesthetic purposes.

Thanks to such things, you can update your interior without spending a single penny.

For example, you can use multi-colored lids to create an original decorative fence between flower beds in your dacha.

You can also use the same lids as wheels for a small garden cart with flowers.

In addition, an old saucepan can easily be transformed into an unusual flower pot.

To do this, you just need to cover it with brightly colored paint or self-adhesive film, and drill holes in the bottom.

Another idea is to make an original washbasin in the country from a large enamel saucepan by inserting a water tap.

The main thing is to paint the pot to match the overall color background - and here you have a sink, even better than a store-bought one.

From a practical point of view, broken old dishes are good “bait” for worms in compost or in garden beds.

All you have to do is add waste there. The worms will soon show up.

In terms of interior design, a stainless steel saucepan can be transformed into a fashionable lamp with an unusual light pattern.

To do this, we drill a hole in the container and insert a light bulb.

And if you weld metal legs to our saucepan, you get a chair.
