I'd love to be able to store my spices in my kitchen. However, my cupboards are so hot that they dry out in a week and lose their lose effectiveness. Instead, I store all my spices in the door of the refrigerator freezer. They last forever and I only have to use half of what the recipe calls for since spices increase in potency when refrigerated. I hope this information is useful for you.

[@carolynhamilton9728]

Excellent! My house gets boiling hot in summer to November. I've been worried about my cupboard items. So, it's okay to refrigerate dry herbs & spices? Thanks so much ❤

[@MHow-qc3ns]

@@user-bv1ss5nj9b: I'm glad you found this info helpful. Remember to put them in the "freezer", not the fridge or you will get condensation in the spice container. As a funny note, I still have a 1/4 container of McCormick's Garlic Power (3.12 oz.) that I bought at least 20 years ago when I moved into this apartment. The price of $2.99 is still on the bottom of the container. It's probably the most cost-effective product I've ever bought.

I've been storing my sheet sets in one of the matching pillowcases since I was a young bride in the 70's. It just seemed logical. I loved the wine rack as a towel holder, the decorative handles to hang towels, and the ceiling storage ideas.

[@mazsroy9]

I’m 71 and came up with many of these hacks long ago so it was fun to see here. It really is about “looking outside the box”. Thank you for sharing.

[@jackiepearson2779]

I've watched a couple of your videos and I really like the ideas. If I were younger and had not become semi disabled I'd have my tools and 'stuff' out and I'd be up to my elbows in a couple of the projects. And great ideas never fade away. I'm almost 80 but a couple of things I did in my 20s you've put on your videos. I love all of it. TFS, most of my tools were presents from my husband for my B'days or anniversaries. True love

[@JDog-tn8we]

Awwww! Find a teen or young adult that can trade with you. You talk/walk them through how to do something while they use your beloved tools. They learn life skills, your house becomes more organized. It’s a priceless trade off in my humble opinion. Think about what this would do for a student who is smart but not school/testing-savvy.

[@lisasrexstar7796]

@@JDog-tn8we A high school shop class might have just the right kid! Don't overlook the girls, either. If my 4 Offspring, my 1st daughter is the handiest with tools. We spend HOURS in Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace, etc!

[@teresagracecovington2184]

I've also tempted a few birds into using old mail boxes as nests.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

😍 my favorite, too! Saw it on one of their other videos. Mine has bean vines climbing it. Your Morning Glorys sound prettier, but I couldn't eat them! PS- Marigold petals are delicious & beautiful added to soup or salad. Just take a scissors & cut off the little white 'tails' of the petals, as those can sometimes be bitter. Happy Gardening!

[@kimbyrd5081]

Ice cube trays, shoe storage bags, insert sheets into pillow cases to store together flat. I love these ideas, thank you.

Have found the empty creamer bottle is the perfect size for transferring water to the Keurig machine. It fills exactly to the line and is easy to handle for someone with limited dexterity.

[@LFT-zu7js]

Telling my OTA daughter this right now! Thanks

[@TC-vq6yz]

SPICE RACK idea. A few years back, Keurig coffee makers were really the "it" gift. We no longer use one but I still have the under machine single use pod drawer my son gifted to me. I have placed the drawer under my current drip coffee maker. It doesn't take up any extra counter space and my most used spices are handy inside the drawer.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Smart! I still have a very small, cheap Keurig knockoff, it is a terrific quick, not much electricity, machine for hot water. I put the teabag, hot chocolate mix, loose tea infuser, etc in the cup, bingo, that baby delivers the hot water & only takes up about a 6 inch square on the counter. Saved buying a hot water pot!

Storing cords up under the desk also keeps them from getting dusty like they would along the floor. If you put an anti static clothes dryer sheet behind your PC or TV, you eliminate dust on back of electronics.

[@carolgeorge6409]

[@virginiasoskin9082]

I just got plastic bins at Dollar General to organize my pantry and they were BOGO....what a DEAL and they are tough plastic too and will last forever....the only organizers I have ever bought that were pricy were clear bottles for my seed bead stash. The bottles come 12 to a clear plastic box and I have about 20 boxes. That's a lot of beads but that storage was really important for me to have because size, color, finish, where I bought them, etc. is important to know so I don't use the wrong bead in a project (I am a polymer clay artist and use beads with it). They hold a lot of beads in a small yet highly organized space. I also got little modular clear plastic holders for our kitchen desk drawer to store the optimal amount of stuff in a small space. All other stuff was cheap like plastic rolling sets of drawers, flatware organizers, etc. I just try to hold down the stuff I do have so I don't have to resort to storage hacks much. I'd rather purge my ribbon stash than figure out ways to hold it all, for example. I must admit the cabinet under my kitchen sink is a mess but I can't bend over so cleaning it out necessitates help from someone else.... hubby is a great cook but NOT an organizer at ALL -- his office is a meeesssss!

[@PhotoLainee61]

I save my Rx bottles that have nice lids. Most of the labels will peel off easily, to dispose of, (I never throw away bottles etc. with my name & the meds info. on them! Be sure to destroy that info. some how, BEFRE you throw it in trash!) I put my flower & Vegetable seeds in the empty plastic bottles from Rx.! Works GREAT!

Liked the ribbon spools on multiple arm skirt hanger. Many others, like drawer pulls for towels etc. Yes the pvc drying racks

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Putting my many tape spools on one of those hangers & reclaiming that tote bin for other use.🙂

[@blaze556922]

The pots and pans take up even more space if you separate them. Hanging them is always the best option if you can.

[@chriscooks5437]

If you can't hang them, invert the lid on the pot & stack them.

[@terriejohnston8801]

#1 favorite...Blue Jean Apron. #2- the Scarf holder w shower curtain rings on a hanger. Thanks!

[@chellejack3480]

I tried the shower curtain rings on a clothes hanger for my scarves, and it was a nightmare, because they slide around and roll into each other and they would all wind up on one side. I would say pass on this one. I even put clothes pins between them to keep them from sliding in to one another and they just kept popping off. I'd say pass on this one.

[@anakelly8956]

I have those 5 lb. containers of powdered coffee creamer. The mouth of the containers are very large. So, it's easy to scoop out the contents. Great for storing my flour, cornmeal, rice and sugar.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Those containers are great...but don't ever strike a match with powdered coffee creamer dust in the air. That stuff is very flammable! Thought it was an urban legend till I saw it myself. Shocked & amazed! Had to switch creamers after that! 🍀 to You!

Love all your ideas. I use a small wine rack (my upright holds 3 and a square one holds 4) to store my different rolling pins and pastry rollers. Also works for those kitchen utensils that don't fit in a drawer or are too tall for the counter. They're a bargain at the thrift store for $1.99 each!

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

I've made towel holders from door handles for years. Much nicer looking than other options. Have them in my kitchen both inside and outside of cabinets and in bathroom. I use fishing tackle boxes of different sizes that fit together inside a decorative box as a jewelry box. It's low profile and holds loads of jewelry.

[@oakstrong1]

Store your pencils etc: glue a cluster of inner tubes of toilet paper (the cluster glued together makes the tubes sturdier) onto cardboard and store different coloured pencils in each one. For storing wet paintbrushes, spray varnish or use water-resistant paint, e.g. gloss paint. Roll knitting yarn around a kitchen roll inner tube. When you need it, put the tube into a kitchen roll holder, the "cake" (even with 100g yarn) will unwind easily. For storage, can also make a small slit at the edge of the cardboard: slit the end of the yarn to prevent it unwinding and to find it easily. If for some reason the kitchen roll holder doesn't stay in place, you can clamp it to the table with a simple clamp from DIY or craft store. Not a storage tip but... To keep your toothbrushes fresh and bacteria-free: put them into a dishwasher! Or if you don't have one, use laundry/thin bleach to soak your toothbrush 15 minutes, wash and rinse well. Burnt food in a pan: put some laundry detergent add warm water and let the enzymes do the work while it is soaking. Then wash normally and rinse well.

[@golfergirl8123]

The only thing I think people need to remember is, even when hanging something on your cabinet or pantry door, you still need to make sure the space it takes up inside the cabinet is available. This can be an issue if there are shelves. You can hang a shoe organizer on the door, close the door and the shelves squish your twinkies or break your pretzels when it hits the shelf. I really like the spice idea. But you'll need to make sure these are positioned between shelves and that items on the shelves are pushed back to allow space for the items when door is closed.

[@CD-db1zo]

Golfergirl812 I certainly don’t want to squish my twinkies!

[@LindaSmith-hi5gk]

[@Beruthiel45]

True. None of the kitchen door ideas will work for my cabinets either, because of the shelves. I wasted a bunch of money on a metal over door rack for my broom closet. It fit the door but when you tried to close the door the baskets hit the frame. I forgot to allow room for that. I had to put the rack on the door to my laundry room instead. I bought a soft hanging rack designed for baby stuff for the broom closet and it works fine. Nothing too heavy though, just lighter things. Live and learn. 🤷🥴

[@oakstrong1]

Quite a few ideas were repeated, such as shoe storage and egg cups. Note also that whatever you hang inside the cupboard door will take space away from the cupboard shelves. Also, make sure that you can still close the cupboard door: usually that means your rack can only be the height of your shelf space (or you could make the shelves shallower, but that would mean less storage space on them). If you have a small home store X in your storage room... WHAT!? IF you have a storage room you home ISN'T SMALL!
