Hey Rene’,
These are all super ideas! I love the one under the sink, the lid separator, and the upright storage for larger items!

Rene,
These are great….I recently made a wrap area with tension rods too!

Those are some really good ideas! Thanks for sharing them. I wonder if the dollar store has tension rods.
I’m in awe of these ideas! that “why didn’t I ever think of that” feeling:) going to try the ribbon holder for sure!!
Hi Rene,
Great idea’s. Really enjoyed your website.

This is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I also LOVE the red cabinets in one of the pictures you have.
Where do you get small tension rods? I have never seen them this size. I have only seen them the size for a bathtub shower curtain.
Hi Lucille, Look for them in the drapery section of the store.
Love these ideas. I also use an extra shower rod in the guest bathroom behind the curtain to hide items I do not want to fully dry in the dryer.
Love the idea of an extra shower rod!!I may have to try that!
I use shower curtain rods to hang home made drapes or shower curtains inside of the 3 tier storage shelves (48x 72) to hide what’s on them.
Great idea! Grandma Smith! Thanks for sharing.
Wowza! I love these ideas and I haven’t ever seen them before! I am so ready to run out and get a bunch today!! I especially love it for the kitchen curtain idea — super fun. Thanks!
Pretty good…..why cant my brain think of these things
ditto sharon!!
I love the tension rods great idea. I also loved the red cabinets,Would you tell me what color that red is and the brand of paint.
Hi Judy,
For more info on the cabinets go to this blog Twice Remembered http://twiceremembered.blogspot.com/2009/09/red-cottage-kitchen-vignettes-and_23.html
I hope that helps. There is a lot more information about the kitchen and the cabinets.
Hootie Hoot, a fav greeting of my family! So, naturally I think your blog is quite cute. Like the graphics….
Thanks for the cute comment Vintage Girl!! You made my day!! Love your family greeting!!
Great Ideas!!! Never too old to learn something new
You can purchase the rods at Walmart and Target. Great ideas!
Love these simple solutions, thanks 🙂
I have used tension rods to store ribbon, but in a different way. Rather than sticking the rod through the center of the spool, I put two tension rods parallel to each other and rest the spool between them. I have more info at diysisters.com (search ribbon storage). We also use tension rods at our house for puppet shows or forts. Put a tension rid across a doorway, drape a blanket over it and you have a puppet theater. Or put two tension rods across a hallway, drape a blanket over both and instant fort! Tension rods are awesome!
Love the idea for the tension rods fir Pot&Pan Lids.
A few years ago, I used a shower curtain tension rod between cabinets to hang a valance. About 8″ below the valance, I used an identical rod & hung matching quilted place mats vertically, held by round wooden curtain rings w/tiny clips to hold tfs place mats. I loved the look.
Love your idea….sounds cute!
