Your man is in the dog house again for whatever reason, and brings you some beautiful flowers in a standard glass vase. They adorn your kitchen counter for a week, and once they wither, the vase collects dust in your cabinet with all the others — a reminder of all the times you've received "apology" flowers. Learn how to renew those dust-collecting vases when you read more.
Take a cue from Real Simple, and transform that standard glass vase into toilet paper storage. You'll always know when it's time to shop for more t.p. and your guests will know where to find it when a cardboard roll sits empty on the toilet paper holder.

What kind of flowers are those?? They're beautiful!
1I always have flowers in my home so my vases get used. I also don't keep any items around that I don't love.
2I store most of my large vases, but the smaller ones, I usually fill with potpourri and make a cute centerpiece with.
3Hmmm I don't think I would use them to store TP.
My cat would most likely knock it over.
4Mandyjobo - those are peonies - my fave!
5Ohhhh good ideas! I love Real Simple mag!
6Thats a cool idea! I might have to try that since I rarely get any flowers :-\
7aimeeb: i, too have a crazy cat, and i store my tp this way. you can get sturdy, heavy vases at crate & barrel that are non-knock over-able!
8A friend of mine has a few of these clustered, filled with candles.
9Ooooh I have to admit that I can't stand exposed toilet paper in a bathroom. Don't know why... just a pet peeve of mine... I think it always looks tacky and takes away from otherwise well-decorated bathrooms. We have very good friends who have a giant vase filled with toilet paper in their bathroom, and I shudder every time I see it...
10Tell the boy to buy cut loose flowers so you don't accumulate ugly vases.
Better yet, tell him to pick them for you. My husband usually leaves the house in the morning before I do, and oftentimes I find a flower from our yard tucked under my car wiper blade. The nice part is he doesn't wait for a reason to do it.
And I prefer hiding the TP. Only if it's getting low will I put another one in an accessible place (usually a bowl on top of the toilet's water tank)
11Great place to collect wine corks.
12I hate having tons of vases lying around my house. I usually just give them to Goodwill since I don't have flowers in my house very often.
13cool idea, THX!
