This pot rack is something anyone can do with very little knowledge in the handyman-type stuff and very low budget.
As you may know, I am now in an apartment. This apartment is sooo small compared to my previous home, a difference in size of about 1300 square feet. I down-sized my belongings as much as I could but we are still bursting at the seams. I need to just get rid of some things I hadn't been willing to part with.
I have had to come up with some creative small-space storage solutions and my neighbor/bestie has been amazing at helping with these ideas. This pot rack is one of those Jessica-inspired solutions.
This project cost me a total of $ and got all of these out of my cabinets, providing more space for other items without having to be so crowded. I love it!
I used the following items to create the look:
2 - Bygel rails from Ikea ($2.99 each)
1 pkg Canopy S-hooks from Walmart ($3.99 on clearance)
Large screws with plastic anchors
Tools you will need:
Hammer
Electric Drill (with appropriate bits)
Pencil (for marking)

Level
1. So figure out where you want to place your pot rack. Make sure that the items you plan to place on the pot rack will fit if there is a door in the mix!! Also, if you are doubling up like I did, make sure to account for any length needed between the racks and still allowing some blank space.
2. Hold up the rail and use your level to get it square, then mark your holes. Pre-drill the holes big enough to fit your anchors and insert the anchors.
3. Once you have hammered the anchors in all the way, hold the rail up to the holes and get them lined up. Place the screws and voila!
You just hung a pot rack! Now hang your s-hooks and figure out which pots/pans you want on each spot.
