How clever! Short towel bars would work for the inside of cabinet doors, or even longer towel bars could be attached to the inside of a drawer face, if the pots and pans are stored in drawers, like mine are.

I love that idea, planning on trying to use it somewhere. In my old house I did something different.

We had a closet type pantry and on the back of the door I hung an inexpensive shoe rack like the one below. The lid handles fit down between the curved shoe holders. The lids with "U" shaped handles fit over the curved holders. It worked very well, too.

Two really excellent ideas for different situations. There's no reason why a bar couldn't be cut to fit drawers for max utility.

abfabamy - LOVE your clever idea, too. I'm so glad I found Gardenweb in the years before actually building our house.
