All the furniture just needs to make it to the new house and then some pieces may get retired/replaced.
Anyway I had quite a bit of glue left in the pot, so I watched a few U-tube videos on decoupaging things (with tissue, fabric etc). I didn't really like the messy look of most of them, so in the end cut a strip of floral fabric from one of the remaining Sanderson samples and used it to cover a large coffee container.
Although these look like they might be tins, they are actually very thick cardboard tube sections with a metal rim at the top and a metal bottom, and silvering on the inside of the cardboard, and I saved a few planning to do something with them like this.
I think I have 10 of these, so they could all get different floral covers, or I could branch out into other prints...

Perhaps you can use them to hold sewing notions. I just retired some plastic wares from my cupboard and will use them to sort out rickrack, twill, etc.
I have one, not such a prettily covered one, which I use as a little bin for the living room as it is ideal for thread clips, ends of yarn and odd bits and bobs. Would also make a good holder for utensils in a kitchen, scissors in a sewing room , rulers etc in the study.
Tea candles. It's a great place to store them.
