| The Danger Zone |
After many times of opening my overly packed and always dangerous lower kitchen cabinet (pictured above on a tamed day... missing about three more sauce pans) and nearly being amputated by one of my heavy pans, I decided to fix it.

I scoured the web looking for quick and easy fixes, which I came to find the always so classic, Julia Child's kitchen inspired pegboard.

The Chow.com tutorial DIY: Kitchen Fixes: Peg yourself a Pot Holder. This tutorial is pretty simple for those who are skilled home DIY'ers. But, for a crafting sewing novice like myself, I need a little more assistance. So I went to my trusted source.... older gentlemen at Home Depot with worker hands. I always look for the older guys who look like they are spending there long awaited retirement at Home Depot dispensing their infinite construction wisdom.
After consulting one of these knowledgeable people, I walked out of there with everything I needed to install this pegboard. Midway through this project I realized that this was not a one person job. Espcially, one person like myself ,with a bum arm. So, the pegboard project was put on hold for about two weeks until my wonderful husband and I found some time to do it together.
Today, we were able to finish the long awaited Pegboard Pot and Pan Holder. For my first real project with a drill and some wood, I think I did great!
But for all you home construction prefectionist, I know that it s crooked. Just turn your head slightly to the left and you'll be alright.
This project I would recommend to everyone. My kitchen feels a lot more organized, livable, and spacious. Not only is it fairly easy to do, it is cost effective as well and would only run you about $30.
Now, I am going to work on scrubbing the bottom of those pots. : (
