Pots and Pans Rack

I don't know about you, but I hate digging around in a low cabinet to get to my pots and pans.  We don't have a ton of storage in our kitchen so all of our pots and pans were crammed in the same cabinet with a bunch of other things.  We did have a blank wall just waiting to be useful, so I went to work. 

At the hardware store I bought three plant hooks that you would hang from the ceiling, a dowel rod, and  a bunch of 's' hooks. 

I found the studs and screwed in the three hooks.  Use your level to make sure the hooks are level. I painted the dowel rod black and hung it on the three hooks. 

Next I hooked an 's' hook through the handle of the pan and attempted to hook it onto the dowel rod.  And isn't it just my luck, the dowel rod was too thick to fit the 's' hook around it.  Since I had already been to the hardware twice today I searched my house for a substitute. 

I found a piece of wood.  It is 1/8 of an inch thick and three foot long. It fit nicely on the hooks, the 's' hooks fit nicely on the board and the pan lids fit behind the board.

Now a don't have to dig around a low cabinet searching for my pots, pans, and the right lids!
