Tackle it Tuesday

Ooooh, I haven't done one of these for a while, but I have to show you this.
I like kitchen gadgets, tools, etc, but I'd been having a problem with storing them in easy access. So far I had two of these absolutely jammed with stuff. this photo is of one of them AFTER the other stuff has been dealt with:

Well, I saw something in a cookbook I had recently bought. It wasn't a "how to do this project" thing, just an illustration used in the book. And I knew i was onto something. So I bought a short piece of wardrobe rail, and the fixings for that, and I put it up (well, my husband did it for me) across the kitchen window. And now all my lovely tools hang from butchers hooks, slung along the rail.

I LOVE it. I can quickly and easily grab anything I need, without having to dig around in the drawer or the containers.

If the window frame was large than the actual window itself, then I would have been able to use ordinary kitchen tool rails, BUT because the upvc window goes the full width of the space, and those rails attach on the back to the wall, rather than at their ends, it wasn't possible.
