Organize -- Storage Ideas

Here are some neat storage ideas I came across that I would like to use.  Maybe you will like them,  too.

I like this idea for storing baking pans in a basket from The Organized House Wife.  


 Here is a neat way to organize pantry staples like aluminum foil and plastic wrap.  Makes it easy to get to and takes up very little room.


Don't waste all that space between joists in a basement or garage. Screw wire shelving to the underside of the joists. Use a standard 8-ft. x 16-in. length of wire shelving and a pack of plastic clips, or have it cut to length at the home center.   Idea from the Family Handyman.
