The $10 pot rack
By Never teh BrideIt doesn’t get much simpler (or cheaper) than the DIY $10 hanging pot rack! I found this easy instructional on Wise Bread ages ago while searching for kitchen storage solutions. We weren’t sure how our landlord would take to us drilling onto the ceiling, so we planned to implement the idea in our home. Now that we have said home, we’ve discovered that our ceilings are just a tad short for hanging kitchen gear without risking black eyes and bumped heads
Materials necessary include:
- 1 piece of 4 foot re-bar
- 1 package of black chair tips
- 1 can of el cheapo black spray paint
- 1 package of eye hooks
- 2 packages of s-hooks
- Spray paint in whatever color you fancy
- A little bit of duct tape

Well, I think the FUNNIEST was the axe and the silly putty to fix one of the pipes on the washer in our old house. But that’s not quite what you were looking for…
One thing I’m fond of is using twin-size bedsheets as curtains. They’re cheap, they’re sturdy, and they look nice. Hem them if you need to, or don’t if they’re going behind a couch or something.

Isn’t rebar awful bendy, though?
As soon as I have an extra $50 I’m going to hang a copper pipe over my bed and lay my saris over it so it’s a sort of tent. Does that count, or are hypotheticals not considered?
