A while ago we posted the concept of the anti-closet: exposed storage for your clothes. Today we're looking at a few more options for open storage, this time for smaller items. Click below to see them.
More Open Storage
Top: Pegboards can be used in the kitchen, in an entryway, or in an office. These Square Peg Boards from JC Penney come in 3 colors, $19.99 each.
A Small Hanging Storage unit, like this one from PB Teen, can store office or craft supplies. This one is on sale for $29.99.
We love hooks for open storage. A classic system is this Eames Hang-It-All at Design Within Reach, $149.
The hookbox has been a hot topic on AT for its high price ($270) although it's on sale now for $98. Whether or not you'd spend that much on a hook, it's an interesting design concept.
Ladder racks like this one from CB2 ($79.95) can work as towel holders, magazine racks, newspaper storage, or blanket storage.

Pegboards are awesome for the kitchen. Don't worry about JC Penney pegboard, though. We've got most of our cooking utensils hanging from a 2' x 4' white pegboard that we got from Home Depot for $10. The variety pack of hooks and hangers to go with it was $5. You see, our kitchen didn't come with drawers...
I suspect it doesn't look classy, exactly, but we figured that since a kitchen is a workshop, you've got to have the tools within reach.

I am so glad you too see the nonsense in some of these high priced items. How much effort does it take to think of a design and manufacture the product?
Megatron just gave me an idea for the pegboards -- use in the kitchen!
