Too many houseplants? This is a great way to utilize something old and make it totally useful again.

We've had these baby crib panels kicking around here forever. I love the decorative bars and just couldn't bear to toss them in the dump.

I've got a LOT of houseplants. They've been outside all summer doing what they do best, growing. All of a sudden there are more houseplants than there are curtain rods to hang them from. Hubby came up with this brilliant idea for me.

He found 4 good-sized eye screws and a hunk of chain that he cut into 4 equal lengths.
