Here’s an idea… for those miscellaneous lids

In my cabinet, we’ve got [or had] a bunch bowls and lids for that were all kind of laid in the cabinet to be found and sorted out later.

My mom used to keep a drawer in the kitchen— all lids went in that drawer so you could effortlessly find the lid later without having to dig through the bottom cabinet…

Anyway, Becca was at Target the other day and they were selling lid organizers that fit right inside the cabinet door; you could just drop the lids in there and you can reach in, get a bowl and all the lids should be right there.

But the problems with the concept was that this thing was $8…

I thought what about a file holder, or an inbox you would hang on the wall… So, we went to the office section of the store, and sure enough; the inbox for folders was $2.

Instant savings… same function.

Here’s my version…

I didn’t use screws. I used industrial two sided tape…
I didn’t want to use screws because the wood is so thin and I didn’t want to mess it up. And I placed the holder closer to the top and to the inside of the door to have more bottom space and so that the holder would hit the cabinet as the door was trying to close.

Also, the tape added some space between the door and the plastic to help it breathe more; just in case the dishes have a little water on them…

It works because otherwise that space is wasted anyways… I’m thinking about making or installing a pull out for the pots and pans.

I believe this works out good.And I may do something like this on another door for cutting boards…

Until next time,
