Measuring Spoons and Cups

Proof that visitors do notice the little things in your home: when we were invited to a neighbor’s house for dinner, one of the first things I noticed in their kitchen were their individually-hanging measuring spoons and cups. Each one hung from its own hook above the sink, and I can’t deny that I was a little fixated on this idea all night.

After recuperating from my hangover the next morning I did some research. Are Naturals and Craft Co. No. 6 both sell sets that hang from their own strips.

Not wanting to lay down the bones for a handmade set of my own, I whipped out my level, tape measure, and some shiny silver hooks. Here’s my version. They hang on the side of a built-in that houses our microwave and oven.

I love the ease of measuring things now! No more rifling through drawers and dealing with the annoying ring they were held together with. I highly recommend doing this, especially for people who do a lot of cooking at home.
