Boxed utensil holder, I don't have enough drawer space, ideas? Help!
I'm looking for a way to keep my utensils free from dust, just sitting in utensil holders on counters. I don't have enough drawer space to keep them all. Any ideas? I like the rustic farm house look.

First I think we all have way too many kitchen gadgets and we outgrow some that we used to use.... so purging your kitchen frequently is a must.
Then if you still need that extra drawer space, add a drawer under your upper kitchen cabinet to store that extra tray..... https://www.familyhandyman.com/kitchen/under-cabinet-drawer/view-all/
or add a toe kick drawer under the bottom cabinet.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G66DClrZt58
You could store them in various sized mason jars with lids. Wrap each jar with a rustic patterned ribbon for fun :)
I wouldn't worry about a little dust, but the under cabinet drawer sounds great
I have a large vase which sets next to my stove for what I use while cooking. I have tried hanging on the wall but I didn't like it. Things fell off when you grabbed for something. Others didn't know where to put it. I am thinking of hang some items in my baking cabinet door.
Great idea for little stuff. I'm talking about spatulas, and big cooking spoons. i unfortunately dont have much wall space to hang anything. thanks for your suggestion and hope that the back of your door works for you
i was thinking something like a top opening bread box with maybe rustic metal sides and a lid
What if you got something like this Keurig storage piece. Then you could sit something on top of it and you will not be loosing counter space. https://amzn.to/2pVq0Ac
Let's think outside the box here for a moment. There's actually a couple ways to handle this I know of, both of which I've used.
1. Put your utensils in a big crock just as is often done, then cover them all at the same time with a quilted cloth, terry cloth, or plastic small Appliance cover. Remove when you need to use them, recover when you're done. Wash covers when needed.
2. Mittens. Baby or child mittens work well. Don't need the thumb on them, snip off from inside & hand stitch closed. Wash as needed. They're even very simple & cheap to make if you need a lot of them. Sew by hand or machine. Old Terry cloth is good for recycling for this.
Have fun with it.
