Repurpose Lid Organizer
I’m on another day of my Organizing Tips and More. This is a quick blog showing my repurposed lid organizer. I do product reviews and this is a product I received to review. It is made from coated metal and very sturdy so it stays in place on the shelf. This worked well for my pot lids until I upgraded them and now I have the kind where the lids stand up on end by themselves. Those were too thick to slide in easily so the lid organizer ended up in the garage. Until…..
As I was organizing my baking pans in a pantry I remembered about this and figured I could repurpose my lid organizer into a baking pan storage rack! My brownie pans with covers fit easily in the slots plus muffin pans and Lia’s mini loaf pan. These are all pans that are hard to stack since they are all different sizes. The wire cookie cooling racks slide in at the end and now everything has a place and I don’t have them in a big pile.
Are you wondering where I store my lids now that I repurposed my lid rack? Well they went into a storage bin! They can stand on their own and like the other bins I used in the pantry, I can pull this out for easy to reach lids. Again I didn’t have to purchase anything new for storage since it’s things that were stored in the garage! It’s fun to repurpose something into something else to same space and money!
This is a blog I wrote a few years ago with some crazy ideas that just might work. One of them was figuring out a way to keep the corner cupboard handles from hitting the other cupboard. Lia actually came up with this idea when she pop a silicone finger puppet over the handle and it worked like a bumper against the other side! So once I saw how clever Lia’s idea was I came up with something similar by using plastic tubing over the handles as bumpers! You may find the other crazy ideas useful too! Enjoy your weekend and blog on!
I love these tips and reuses!
I’ll be organizing my new kitchen *soon* and am gathering ideas!!
I hope some of my organizing tips come in handy for you Nadya. Thanks for visiting!
You have inspired me to try organizing my cookie sheets, etc. My cabinets are not conducive to storing these, but seeing your photos, I’m not sure why I haven’t tried moving them to my pantry for each reach!
Same with my cabinets, no room for bulky baking pans and cookie sheets Angie. They lid storage rack is a perfect solution.
I sure could use that rack to hold lids which would fit into the pantry’s we brought her because let me tell you being in a apartment there isn’t a lot of room. Although, we have plenty of storage when you work from home it takes part of it. As well as a child who homeschools.
I got the rack at Amazon a few years back to review and it’s great for storage Glenda.
we have a pretty nice organization system in our kitchen but I can never get the lids organized. Thanks for the tips today.
Lids have always been a problem for me Cheryl until We got the kind that stand up on end.
Martha, what great ideas! I find that, as my kitchen gear gradually changes, I get to rethink what I actually want to keep in the kitchen (and not in back storage), and how I want to store those things. Lids are an issue. However, some Calphalon stacking pots and lids, made to stack with each other, have mainly solved that issue. Still tweaking! As always, thanks for the great ideas that make me go “hmmmm”!
The Calphalon pots and lids sound great Kebba. I’ll be searching for new pans soon, sounds like something I need to check into.
Repurposing lid organize as a cookie tray organizer is brilliant Marrha .It’s not easy to store things which can’t be stacked
Yes Amrita, there are some things that present a challenge when trying to organize but this was a great idea.
That’s a great idea. We only have two flat pans that are stored in our oven.
That’s a good idea to store them in the oven Amanda!
