Where do you put paper towels, wet dish towels, cutting boards,
Comments (35)Paper Towels: On a vertical stand next to my sink. I like having them handy. It is an inexpensive one from Target. In the past, I had them hanging under the upper cabinets. After we remodeled, I needed a new solution. I didn't think the countertop one would be stable, but it is and I really like it. I enjoying being able to grab the whole roll and take it to another room if I need to. Wet dish towels: I have a Rev-a-shelf hanging rod thing on the inside of one of my cabinet doors under the sink. I only use it occasionally though. Usually I have a dishtowel folded in half laying/hanging right on the counter where I stand at the sink. I use it for drying my hands, fruit, dishes, etc. throughout the day. It dries quickly. I have a dish drainer on one side of my double sink, so anything I hand wash usually just dries in there. If I've entertained and have extra hand washing with more dishes on a towel on the counter, then those go on the racks under the sink until they dry. Sometimes if I have one that is really wet and yucky, I just throw it on the tile floor in my laundry room (closet). It is the only tile I have in the whole house (I like to take advantage of it.) :) Cutting boards: In a vertically divided cabinet in one of my lowers. Plastic bags: I donate them to a food bank, so I throw them in the trunk of my car until I see my friend who takes them for me. :)...See MoreWhere is your dish towel?
Comments (52)Oh my goodness! I've read threads referring to the towel pig before but didn't know what he looked like until the thread was linked above. I have a towel pig! Except I don't use him to hold a towel. He actually sits on my mantle...a gift from my husband because I have a thing for flying pigs. He is one of my favorite things, I am pretty sure my husband got him off of EBay....See MoreWho remembers towel pig?
Comments (9)Our Tuesday Morning is so small it should be called Tuesday 5 seconds. They had about 2 shepherd's hooks and no towel pigs.... so bummed out about that. I even went and scoured the TJMaxx next door, thinking the t.p.'s may have meandered over there. They did had one GIANT pig. It was wooden and about 15" long by 8" high -- basically life-sized. I passed on that one and will continue searching for the perfect petite pig-let....See MoreWhere do you hang your dish towels?
Comments (37)Mnerg, I hang towels on a simple long handle like Threebees, only it's a regular drawer handle that's even simpler and shorter (holds any kitchen towel folded in half lengthwise). It does NOT match my other, regular handles--but no one notices because of the towel hanging on it, and that's what I wanted to point out. The handle is the same metal as the others and has simple bent ends with no mass or detail to stick out and grab attention. BTW, I have two. One is also on my garbage pullout next to the sink. No matter how messy my hands are, it doesn't matter with a towel always there. But the other is on the inside of my island right where my hands get messy 95% of the time. When I think of the things I did right in this kitchen these little details always leap right out....See Morermlanza
