What do you Keep on your Bakers Rack?

need some advice- I'm reorganizing my small kitchen.I have a beautiful wrought iron bakers rack where I kept cookbooks that I never use. I removed them and put them in a book case and am wondering what other people keep on their bakers rack. I have a waffle iron and tea kettle that I think I'll put there but just curious what others do..thanks poohbear

When I had one, I used it to display depression glass.  It turned out to be a dust collector, so I swapped it out for a cabinet with glass doors.  I display the depression glass along with my grandmother's Hummel collection in there, but they no longer get dusty.

 

If I had a small kitchen, I'd put things that I use often on it.

I don't have a baker's rack but I do have one from Origami and I keep all of my heavy things on there like my pressure cooker, slow cooker and all of my cast iron pots as it is so much easier to get to and lift them from there instead of inside a cabinet.

Le Creuset and a couple of cookbooks I really use.

Re: What do you Keep on your Bakers Rack?

When I used to have a baker's rack in my kitchen I kept mostly cookbooks and cookie jars.  I have a small collection of old cookie jars.  I kept other things on there, too, but it was purely decorative.  The cookbooks were the only things I ever used.

What a nice thread!  I'm enjoying hearing all the different ways decorating & making the kitchen space work better.  đꙂ
