The editors of Better Homes and Gardens show us how vintage kitchen paraphernalia can double up as whimsical yet chic home-office desk accessories, if you look beyond their manufactured purposes. A vintage muffin pan, for instance, can keep small items such as paper clips and rubber bands separated and contained in a drawer. For deeper storage, try a popover pan, the magazine suggests.

To hold business cards, receipts, and other notes, hang a set of mismatched forks ont he wall using self-adhesive hook-and-loop fastener dots. Meanwhile, a pretty teacup or demitasse can hold pens or thumbtacks. Seldom-used silver pieces can also be put to work to organize mail, spare change, stamps, address books, and other assorted knick knacks. ::Better Homes and Gardens
