Wall racks

[oregontocal]

Maybe most of you have seen/used these, but on one of my many trips to Wal-Mart (it's the biggest store in town here), I found a set of three small wall racks that just screw into the wall. The three are each a different configuration--one even has a towel bar on the bottom. I used that one for my bottles of herbs and spices that were getting lost in the cupboard, then hung my kitchen towel at the bottom. I installed another one near the microwave for the Costco wax paper squares that are great for covering food. The third one is on the wall behind my dinette and holds the Kleenex box and two remotes for the TV and CD player.

Well, I liked those so much I went back again for more today. Two in the bathroom for assorted things, getting them out from under the sink. The third one now holds envelopes and such on the small space above and to the right of the couch on the slide. And now I'm almost out of wall space.

Since my rig is so small, every little bit of saved space works. Oh, and I wish someone had told me how inexpensive CD players are now. The huge, heavy monster combo VCR and DVD player that was in the rig when I bought it finally gave up the other day. I tried a little to fix it, but not very hard since it took up almost half the shelf. On the way back from Wichita today, I stopped at Best Buy and found a brand new model Sony, very tiny--twelve inches wide by one inch high--weighs next to nothing. It will be perfect since I no longer have any VHS tapes. Grand total of $39.

Next on the wish list is a small flat screen TV that attaches to the wall. That would free up the large space now holding a regular size, heavy TV.

Hey Chris...how about some pictures? Please? I saw some wire racks in Wally World that just might work in my kitchen cabinets...always so much wasted space in them because there aren't shelves.

Dpf, here are some pictures. I'll bet these would also work inside cabinets--I can see another trip to the store for more. Think I've got installing them down to a science now. The little orange containers in the white box are plastic pill bottles I got free from the Wal-Mart pharmacy--they hold smaller amounts of herbs and spices. All I did was ask for some.

Hey Chris...thanks for the visual aids...now I know what I'm looking for!
