Happy hump day, kids! Today's Tip is another one contributed by
elnina. Great ideas! Thanks, el. Scroll on down and check it out.


NIFTY USES FOR TENSION RODS

Use one in a drawer and you've got an instant divider to separate pot lids from pans.
You could probably also use this for that other tricky storage item - tupperware (and lids).


You can also use them as a vertical pantry dividers:


I love the vertical dividers idea! It would be great for my cookie sheets, pie plates
and baking pans.

I will stick with my time tested storage methods...Uncontrolled Chaos. If the drawer or door closes then everything must be where it is supposed to be. If the drawer or door does not close, then all you have to do is push harder. Sooner or later you will get the drawer or door closed.

Great idea PJ and elnina...as I like to have my kitchen stuff in order.I hope my drawers/closets are high or deep enough to accommodate the items below as Alaskan Mutt has mentioned.

Wife has been buying all types of drawer and shelf dividers etc... Spice racks and other stuff. It's really hard to find room for the never ending collections of utensils, cookware and food products. Thanks Pam & Elnina for tackling the problem.

From my view ...nothing works! Our pantry is a nightmare! We can't keep it neat ..no way! It's a never ending battle.. But we keep trying.. Drawers and shelves....we simply need more. Much more!

Sounds like a keeper.....as soon as I can get those drawers and cabinets to close.....
