I don't care what the intended purpose of something is. If it works for another purpose, i'll use it for that as well. I used my ironing board for a coffee table for a while. I use my step ladder as an end-table. I removed the bottom crisper structure in the fridge and use the bins for storage and stack my cases upon cases of pop in the fridge. I have trouble keeping fresh food in the house so why not? My kitchen cupboards work well for storing my DVDs. I remember when i was married i used to put the photo albums in the pantry and my husband thought that was absurd. If it works, who cares what it was intended for?
