multi-tasker

It's no secret I'm a fan of IKEA. I'm repeatedly enticed by the cleverness, modernity, and possibilities of multi-functional pieces like this one:

It's sold as a planter (perfect for a little herb garden) but I'm also envisioning it on a shelf in my teensy bathroom, holding make-up brushes and hair baubles and such. Other possibilities: on the picnic table for cutlery or condiments. In the new [halfway there] playroom for crayons. As a Spring centerpiece filled with wheatgrass, which I've never successfully grown. Stowing desk or craft supplies. In the nursery to hold diaper cream, cotton swabs, powder, etc. I could go on and on. Any suggestions? I'm serious about using it in the bathroom, what do you think?
Also loving this this and this this for the new [halfway there] office nook.
