#1 – Rolling Utility Cart
This rolling utility cart has so many uses!
Oh my gosh! Where do I begin?!?! There are just countless ways to use this simple, yet functional cart. Use it in a craft room to hold craft supplies. Use it in a bathroom to hold toiletries, hand towels and bath towels. Use it in a nursery to hold diapers and other baby supplies. Use it in a child’s room to hold toys, art supplies, and LEGO bricks. Use it in a garage to hold small tools and hardware. Use it in a bedroom as a bedside table to hold journals, books, and other personal items. Use it on a patio as a snack and bar cart (that’s how I’m using it). Use it next to a pool to hold cold beverages, snacks, and sunscreen lotion. Use it in a kitchen as a coffee bar cart. Really… there are just so many ways you can use this clever rolling cart!
#2 – Palm Leaf Trays
Oh, how I love these palm leaf trays!
These eco-friendly trays/plates are made from fallen palm leaves. They are 100% biodegradable and have no chemicals in them. They are sturdy, leakproof, microwave safe, and awesome looking!
We use these trays for parties – sometimes as plates for a meal, sometimes as a charger-plate. They always call attention – everyone always asks where I got them and comments on how cool they are.
We just used these trays for a Soda and Seafood Tasting Party that we hosted. I thought they looked like docks at the seaside, so they were perfect to use as a charger-plate.
You could also use them as plates under plants (as a saucer to catch runoff water), for holding food at picnics and BBQs, or even as a centerpiece tray holding small vases of fresh-cut flowers. So many possibilities!
#3 – Indoor/Outdoor Rattan Planter
This rattan plant stand is full of style!
Rattan is back in style, and this plant stand is rockin’ it! Use the plant stand in your home – just drop in your favorite potted plant, and boom! You have a bit of boho flair. Of course, this plant stand would look awesome on a porch, patio, or deck as well. Perfect for a palm tree for a vacation vibe.
I can also imagine this plant stand being used as an ice bucket for a patio party – just slip in an empty ice cream bucket filled with ice and your favorite bottled beverage and you have a great look for your party. Love flowers? Use that same ice cream pail filled with water and your favorite fresh cut flowers – an elegant look for any room – indoors or out.
This plant stand would also make a great towel holder for a boho bathroom – just roll your luxury white bath towels and pop them into the basket and place next to your tub or shower. Magnificent!
And… you could also easily turn this plant stand into a side table with storage. Just add a piece of circle-cut glass to the top (can be found in most hardware stores or sometimes in thrift stores) and you have a side table that you can store remote controls, magazines, books, etc. inside. How cool is that?!?!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
