I don't feel comfortable removing bc we are renting but maybe I'll figure out a way to hang *something* (not too heavy)... no fruit basket since that would probably be too heavy. Maybe I'll just leave it and not use it. Ha. At least I know what they are now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768547 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:06:23 +0000 Anagram 2768547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Twolittlemen: that makes sense and it looks like one of the kitchen cabinets has water damage, so probably dripping towels. </p> <p>I would remove them! They just aren't my style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768520 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 09:56:46 +0000 Twolittlemen 2768520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If those swivel where they are attached to the wall (it looks like they do) they are for dish towels. It's meant so you can swivel the out over the sink to drip into the sink while they dry and then swivel the out of the way.</p> <p>ETA: from the tiny screws that are holding them in the wall there is no way I'd put anything as heavy as a hanging plant on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768487 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 08:10:46 +0000 looch 2768487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you really need to free up space, I'd actually take those things down and install a rod across the top of the window, using legit brackets and anchoring them into either the studs or dry wall. Then, I'd use s-hooks to hang pots and pans from the rod, or something like that. Iv'e seen it in high end décor mags where they do a series of antique copper pots as a window treatment, but this would be more functional.</p> <p>Alternatively, you can install a shelf above the window and that can be used to store other items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768476 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 07:55:12 +0000 PinkElephant 2768476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plants, as others said...but in the kitchen I wonder if they were intended to hang smaller pots/pans, or to dry dish towels?</p> <p>For baby stuff, you could probably rig some sort of mesh basket as a bottle drying rack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768473 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 07:46:33 +0000 Alba4 2768473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hanging plants? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768453 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:55:11 +0000 JerricaBenton 2768453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: not sure if pots and pans would be too heavy? I've seen decorative items other than plants though, like birdhouses, candles, succulent arrangements. My mom had one that was a hanging flat dish that she filled with seaglass and that looked pretty cool in the light of the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768452 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:35:53 +0000 ALV91711 2768452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I like the idea of hanging a fruit basket from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768451 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:24:43 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2768451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: ah thank you.. I am wondering if I can hang pots or pans or hanging fruit baskets on it.. would that be weird?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768450 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:22:37 +0000 JerricaBenton 2768450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I suppose you could put as many that would fit, maybe varying lengths? I've mainly seen just one hanging fern type plant per 'triangle' bracket. Sorry, not very eloquent tonight lol. When we bought our house there were a ton of them inside and outside. I like the ones on the porch but removed the inside ones cuz it just wasn't our style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768449 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:14:47 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2768449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: @JerricaBenton: oh I see.. thanks.. is it made for one hanging plant per side? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768448 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:05:59 +0000 JerricaBenton 2768448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, plant hanging things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768444 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 22:50:30 +0000 LCTBQE 2768444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for hanging plants. right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-kitchen-hanging-thing#post-2768442 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 22:47:25 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2768442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved into our apartment a couple years ago but never figured out what these are.. I'm now trying to slowly make space for baby #3 in our small 2bd apartment and wanting to know every way I can free up space. Could anyone tell me what these are for?? I'm guessing to hang stuff but I'm drawing a blank on how they function: </p> [attach=6182/17/ouv3v1.600x450.IMG_1738.JPG] [attach=6182/17/ouv3v3.600x450.IMG_1739.JPG]
