Each thing has its purpose. And all things usually like to be used for their intended purpose, then they can last longer. But if a thing has already served its term, so what?
You can try to give her a second chance to prove herself in a new appointment. Like these spoons, for example - they are beautiful, but darkened by time, look so old. There is a soup, maybe it’s unpleasant for them, but they can be used as door handles for a long time. It is worth taking a look from a new position at them, and at other old things.
Door handles, or handles for the cabinet, can be made from spoons. You just need to bend them, give the shape suitable, and you can pin it on. In the country kitchen, this will also look stylish.
