This topic will definitely have to be revisited… and yes, there is a trend that most of it involves laundry.
Our king sized bed was intended to be a resting place to collect much needed zzz's, allowing our minds to rest. Instead as the largest flattest surface in the house, it has become the collecting place for clean laundry, which actually forces me to get it sorted in order to go to bed each night.
A full sized couch in the master bedroom was meant to be a relaxing location to escape from the toils of the day and curl up with warm blanket and a good book. But instead, it has become an overflow location for the never ending laundry sorting quandary.
A corner whirlpool tub should be used for soaking, relaxing, and catching a few moments of hydrotherapy, but instead it is used to separate the 'worn' but acceptable to 'wear again' clothes from the too dirty and must be washed clothes.
Any couch or cushion covered furniture should be a place to sit comfortably if the cushions were actually on it. However, in our house, these cushions are often found as the building blocks for forts, thus making the cushion less a piece of furniture, and more an indoor trampoline.
And no fort would be complete with out a roof, so sheets and blankets of all sizes are often found hanging randomly throughout the house.
Our guest bedroom, intended to house a bed, that is currently being used elsewhere, has become a play room for toys, toys and more toys (all girl stuff of course).

Okay, so the only really cool item that I actually found a creative use for is going to make every Pampered Chef Consultant vomit a little in their mouth. It is the little brown square scraper that comes with a stoneware purchase. It is a great tool for scraping the food or other unidentifiable substances off your kitchen/dining room floors and/or walls. I have one with my mopping supplies and it helps remove some of the most stubborn globs of caked on who-knows-what off my floor.
