New Found Storage Space

Well, we all have those piles of measuring spoons and cups that add chaos and disorganization to our utensil drawers...well here is an exciting idea.  Turn the interior of one of your kitchen cabinet doors into a perfect place to hang your measuring spoons and cups.  I found a version of this on pinterest (love this site!), which might work for you.

This version wasn't going to work for me as I didn't want to screw anything into my cabinets.  So, here is my version, with instructions:

I decided to use the Command Hooks by 3M as they can be removed without damaging the cabinet door.  You also will need rubbing alcohol and cloths, plus tape and pen to mark where to place the hooks.


First, I hung up all the teaspoons and measuring cups using scotch tape on the door.  This is an important step to be sure that where they will be placed will still allow the door to close.


I then made a mark where each hook should go with a black sharpie.


Then following the directions on the command hooks, cleaned the door with rubbing alcohol and then attached the adhesive strips to the hooks and then placed them on the door.  Once they set for 30 minutes, I hung the measuring spoons and cups.  Viola!

Not only are the measuring spoons and cups easy to reach, but it cleaned out a ton of crazy chaos in my utensil drawer!!
