"Spur of the Moment" Pot Rack

This is the dimly lit hallway where we previously stored our pots and pans.
It was both out of the way and convenient to access from the kitchen.

(stairs to basement prior to Project Basement)

Until last week when the basement stairs

were haphazardly destroyed carefully disassembled

and then partially rebuilt (but that's another story).

The somewhat unexpected stairway project has led to

a complete re-do of the entire hallway (why not).

Which includes lovely new drywall (of course).

Which will take some messy time to perfect.

SO, without a home, the pots and pans 

have been sitting in a corner on the kitchen floor 

next to the Christmas tree (but that's another story).

Where they gradually accumulate a fine film of drywall dust

much like EVERYTHING ELSE in This Damn House.

I am pleased to report significant drywall progress thanks to Handy Husband.

I am also pleased to report that I am a single speck of drywall dust away from 

COMPLETELY LOSING IT.

I'm pretty sure living with cookware piled on the floor is not good for me.

Mentally.  Emotionally.  Bacterially.

And so a mini-project was born.

I took the displaced hooks from the basement stairs (refer to photo 1)

and relocated them to an under-utilized section of cabinets.

A little bit of sanity derived from a cordless drill

and inexpensive already-on-hand hardware.

AND the best part?

Close the door and it just all disappears.

SWEET.

If only I could fit the rest of this godawful mess

into a kitchen cabinet and close the door.

Well then, I wouldn't have anything to write about...
