Re: Manda & JW

I'm guessing most bars install w/ screws from behind (teehee) which makes installing them difficult on certain surfaces.

Could you install a metal strip and use super strong magnetic hooks to hang utensils from? I have a magnetic bar (called BAR) from Ikea and use pushpin-shaped power magnets from Staples to hang necklaces and bracelets.

Kate - Not to worry, I got your meaning the first time around, but I did enjoy the clarification!

"* I had to take some time to make that not sound naughty, I mean, the easiest way to say that is that they attach by a screw from behind. You know? "

You would certainly increase your site traffic with phrases like that floating about. :)

I think it looks great. I have the same exact tongs (Oxo, maybe?) and I love them. I use them as much as, or more often than, my big spoon.

I used a plain stainless steel towel bar (hanging from the soffit over the stove) as a pot rack - cost a fraction of what they wanted for a pot rack. Would also work behind the stove for utensils.

re: my entry at 10...

{remove i-didn't-explain-that-parenthetical-comment-very-well foot from mouth}

which is NOT to say that it's an idea martha had, but rather the kind of spirit of invention that made her so admirable and accessable!

but then, you all are smart enough to get that, i'm sure...

Totally brilliant Megan!! I'm going to try this AND the idea to use it as a mini towel bar. So smart! I actually love my tiny kitchen- it seems so efficient (at least that's what I tell myself).
