[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 566629, member: 1233"] These are great ideas, thanks. Just a couple of days ago, husband and I were on our thrift store/closeout store shopping trip. At the closeout store that is a chain only in OK/KS, we found a folding metal shelf that fits into our rather strange pantry. The strange thing about the pantry is that it has oddly spaced shelves (fixed, not adjustable) and the bottom 40 inches has no shelves. It is quite strange for a pantry or kitchen storage. We haven't had a chance to put it together, but that is on today's agenda. We also found one of those over the toilet units. It is actually quite attractive (not like the ones I remember from being a kit, thankfully) and exactly the right size. husband was afraid nothing would fit there because it is an odd size between the sink and the wall. The ones at Walmart and Lowes would not fit. Even better was getting this unit that sells for $60 for just $30. It isn't a lot of added storage, and we couldn't keep small containers on it or else one of use would end up knocking them into the toilet. I cannot get the boys to put the lid down on the toilet. They DO put the seat down, so i pick my battles there. IC, it never occurred to me to just use rope and a dowel rod to add a second rod. Not sure why, I think I would probably have to put a piece of wood with a hole drilled out for the rod rather than handing it from the existing rod. The existing rod is't anchored well and if we are not very careful it is going to fall down. The landlord wouldn't mind the extra rod though. They have already said we can use hooks or nails in the walls anywhere, and to just use anchors or make sure we are going into a stud for whatever we want to hang. [/QUOTE]
