Some of the best zesty projects are ones that are a little more unpredictable. We always get excited when we see peeps have those “a-ha!” moments and get giddy to decorate at home. Not only is today one of those moments, but its a quick and easy project that will leave your kitchen feeling creative and a bit more organized. Oh and a little Country living vibe! ha! Simply hit up your local thrift store to find a cute metal cheese grater and then grab your drill or hammer for an easy upcycle.

First grab a pencil and mark where you will want your cheese grater to hang.
I made two marks in the larger grater hole side so I can place to screws there.
Next place either two nails or screws where your marked holes were.


Hang (near your sink) and have a quick easy rag quick draw!


Love how the industrial little organized corner of the kitchen turned out, cute yet functional!! Happy upcycling!

    Looks a bit dangerous to me. What are the chances of "grating" your fingers when you hang/grab for the towel? Have you had this experience?

    Could you attach a picture? It sounds cool.

    A really great idea, and makes everything look so neat and clean. May be using this for my next kitchen project. Thank you!

    I made one of these too but went a little further. I cut a piece of cardboard the size of the smaller opening to make a bottom. I put my wooden spoons in the grater. I also painted mine and added a small artificial flower arrangement by wiring it to the outside.
