Comments (2)Thank you! I do tend to worry too much about so I can at least put this issue aside. Molly...See MoreDish drawer
Comments (16)Kate - those look very tidy. I had never considered storing the plates on their sides like that. It looks as if your dividers are about 1/2" each, is that correct? Suzanne - congrats on 41 years of marriage! Corning probably discontinued your plates because the realized that if they were unbreakable, people wouldn't have to buy another set and they'd go out of business! Hang on to those babies - you're fortunate to have gotten something that is timeless. I kind of like the looks of the pegs, but from the sounds of things, they don't seem to be necessary, so I think that I might try it at first without pegs and see how things go. Looks like the 36" drawer I have planned should be good for what I have to store since it looks similar to what nhbaskets has in hers. Laura - what about having dividers like what Kate has for some of your glasses in the drawer? I bet that glasses would have a tendency to slide and rock sideways more than plates, so having medium depth dividers (about half the depth of Kate's) along the one side of the drawer might be the way to go - high enough to keep them stable, but low enough that they are easy to remove....See MorePeg system for dishes in drawers - help please!
Comments (8)I've never used one of these, but I'd imagine it to be somewhat impractical. When getting a plate out (or replacing one), your motions are not raising it vertically, before moving it towards you, like a forklift. Typically you'd move it at a natural angle, which would be prevented by these protrusions. Try it out first, with nothing permanently affixed....See MoreDish drawer organizer help
Comments (17)Thanks guys! I put the dishes away this weekend (YAY!) and just put them in with no organizer or liner. They are fine for now, but I am sure when we are back in the kitchen fully and the kids are opening and closing the drawer they will rattle them some! I am going to start with a cushy half liner and if that doesn’t work look at other options, either pegs or something else. Hopefully the shelf liner is all I need. Chispa - I would LOVE a knife block in a drawer! I don’t think I have enough drawers for one though. :-(...See Moreartemis78
