Pot Holder

Several years ago, ma bought me an awesome pot holder. Instead of fastening to the ceiling, it attaches to the wall. Only problem is, it's at least thirty inches long, and there aren't many kitchens out there with that much wall space.

Fortunately, this house is one of them.

Well, it was. Our fridge was a side-by-side. Which means that the door swing didn't take up much floor space. But because the freezer side was right by the wall, access was ridiculous. We couldn't even pull out the ice bucket. After listening to me whine for 3 1/2 years, Tom found a slightly-damaged, stainless steel, bottom-mount freezer for a wicked-good deal.

Which meant that we could finally fit a full-sized pizza, but we had to take down the pot rack. Which meant that we had no place for our pots.

I finally decided to get bathroom robe hooks. The bottom part could hold the pots, and the top could hold the lids. But, after we got to Target and looked around, I found something even better--heavy-duty picture hooks. They were narrow enough to fit in the hole in our Teflon pan handles, and sturdy enough to hold the pots up. The skillets still got hooks, since they're more visible.



The pan just to the right of the microwave is the pan the Creature uses to make eggs and rice, so it needed to go near the bottom. It let to an inadvertent cascade effect.



The little sauce pans didn't really fit, so I put them by the spice rack.



Looks pretty okay with the new fridge.
