unconsumption:

I think this is a clever repurposing idea: Use old rolling pins as wall-mounted storage.

This rack — spotted on Pinterest, via treasure again — was made by Jessica Farmer, a.k.a. bluebirdheaven on Etsy (mentioned previously on Unconsumption here in a post about one of her vintage printer drawers used as storage for jewelry and other small items).

I also really like the hook/rack Jessica made using only one rolling pin (here).

If you have a rolling pin that’s still usable, you could keep it intact, attach it horizontally to a wall or to the side of a kitchen counter, and hang towels from it. An earlier Unconsumption post here features a photo of one such rack, and links to a how-to / tutorial so you can see how to make one of your own. 

Now I’m on the lookout for other new uses for rolling pins!
