Need more storage in your kitchen? Especially for pans?

 

We use our cast iron skillets everyday and they are so heavy to get in and out of the cabinets. So I came up with this idea to hang them where everyone can reach. I also wanted some storage above so we added these inexpensive, easy floating shelves
