I'm a day away from that plan. I've got too much "stuff." And I know
I've got more lids than bowls.

We're getting one next to the Mall of America here. My only experience
with IKEA was in Calgary with Harry Demidavicius. Oy, what fun!

I like to go to IKEA to find out what a tidy room looks like. Actually I
like to sit in the rooms and know the phone won't ring for me, there are no
dirty dishes, etc. The cupboards and drawers are tidy and not stuffed with
junk. Stuff is perfectly coordinated. It's like being in a fantasy when I
go there.

We just have two shelves in the cupboard for them. We nest similar
shapes together. The lids just go vertically to one side or the other.

I jetted away to the South of France for some languorous days and
nights with the local tall, tanned tennis pro, an Adonis of half my
age. But, my 54 cupboards beckoned me back to this more satsifying
existence replete with non-nesting Tupps.

That is how I do it: lid under the container, then the next smaller lid
inside it and the matching container on top of that lid.

I do have one set of bowls and covers that can nest inside one another with
the covers on. They're for Passover, meaning that they're used only about 8
days a year. Nesting with covers on seems inconvenient for containers that
get used frequently; wouldn't it be annoying to have to open several
containers before you could reach the smallest one?

In my kitchen, sometimes additional "foot" support is needed
to get the door closed. LOL!

I know, Vigo told me all about it while he was fixing drinks
tonight. I did miss him, and you of course, but he gives such
good back massages and I was very glad he came back. Now if he
can get caught up on the laundry and finishing raking the leaves
outside I'll be happy once more. I had forgotten just how
annoying decluttering and house work can be. *sigh* I broke a
nail while polishing my sink! Plus his new spandex and lycra
workout outfit came while he was gone and I just can't wait until
DH leaves tomorrow so Vigo can try it on. You guys must have had
some luscious French meals, cause he looks like he might have
added a pound or two. Shame on you, you should have worked him
harder.

Thanks to everyone for their responses.

I've managed to buy myself a box type folder from Staples Stationerys and
screwed it to the back of our kitchen cupboard.

I've taken a couple of pictures of it. They're available he-

Thanks again.

Very clever.

I also like the hinges on your cabinet doors. They look like they would keep
the doors shut better than the simple hinges and tempermental latches on the
"knob side" on ours.

Those hinges look exactly like the ones on my IKEA cabinet. As well
as holding the door shut, they have another neat trick. At the back
of the cabinet side of the hinge there is a little latch that allows
you to take the door off in a second. To put the door back, you line
up the hinge with the plate on the cabinet and push.

Agreed that Dan came up with a neat solution.

Great solution, think I'll get rid of my baskets. It will give me much more
space for stuff.

I was hoping to learn that those hinges are available at any hardware store.
We don't need new cabinets--but those hinges would be nicer than the
hardware we've got.

I can see why you like IKEA.

I think I saw them (or very similar ones) at Lee Valley yesterday. You can
order on-line www.leevalley.com . They probably are available at many
hardware stores--especially ones like Home Depot.
