Etsy Find: Magnetic Blackboard Coasters
Talk about multitasking. When you're not resting your Long Island on one of these magnetic blackboard coasters ($15 for a set of four), you can keep them on your fridge, and even jot your grocery notes down on them. This is a great solution for keeping your coffee table tidy, and I think the black circles add a fun design element to your fridge as well.
DIY: Magnetic Spice Strips
Good-looking, counter space-saving spice racks are hard to find. So, why not hang your spices on the wall? My Aim Is True has a great DIY that'll help you both to see and store your spices out in the open.

DIY: Magnetic Frames Inspiration Board
Looking through the flickr group, Inspiration Boards, I was inspired by kitty80's board, which she created by painting her walls with magnetic paint and covering them with a beautiful wallpaper that is printed with ornate frame outlines. The magnetic paint allows her to hang her inspirations with magnets without damaging the wallpaper.
To no avail, I searched high and low for her wallpaper.
Do You Use Magnetic Wipe Boards?
Magnetic wipe boards are a dorm room staple, even for fashionista Gossip Girl characters Blair Waldorf and Georgina Sparks. I rarely see them in postgrad homes, but they are handy if you have roommates or housemates that you need to leave notes for. Do you have one?
DIY: Glass Découpage Magnets
Découpage is the art of cutting and pasting. Some projects are more complicated, like my découpage glass bowls. But, others, like these glass magnets, are straightforward and quick.
Steal of the Day: Cute, Recycled Kitchen Magnets
I love these magnets ($18 for a set of six) from Etsy seller Maiasauramade. Each magnet in this set of six features a one-of-a-kind, handmade collage. For durability, each paper collage is sealed with several layers of mod podge, then sprayed with an acrylic sealer.
Crave Worthy: Patina Style Magnetic Vase
This set of five Patina Style Magnetic Vases ($39.95) are as graceful as a group of ballerinas standing en pointe, but unlike dancers, these seemingly gravity-defying vessels get a helping hand from magnets.
The aluminum set comes with a metal base, which you place under a tablecloth, and each vase has a strong magnet on the bottom to keep it standing tall. This would be a stunning way to display single-stem flowers, and it's also very affordable.
Cool Idea: Good Grips MagTacks
Corkboards are helpful for displaying things that aren't "keepers," but using pushpins on your child's artwork or a memorable invitation can really ding it up. The obvious solution would be to use a magnet, but what if you don't have a magnetic refrigerator or other surface? If that's the case, then Good Grips MagTacks ($3.49, reduced from $6.99) are for you.
Casa Quickie: Security Bar Makeover
If you live in a city rental with security bars on your windows, I don't blame you for wanting to tear them off. But that wouldn't be safe, would it? You can kick the penitentiary look and perk up those windows by hanging photos and souvenirs on them with some cute, decorative magnets or super strong and tiny Mighties magnets.
Your Refrigerator Door: Totally Bare or Covered in Stuff?
The front of your refrigerator probably says a lot about your decorating style. Some people leave it completely bare, while others cover the door in magnets, photos, and other stuff. What does yours look like?
