A household problem I've been chewing on for a while is where to hang all the bath towels. I didn't want to attach anything to the wall, and we don't really have bathroom wall space anyway. There is one corner where something like a coat tree could fit--if the towels were the length of hand towels.
I have thought of cutting all the bath towels across the middle and hemming them; that would be a little hard to sew and still wouldn't really address the problem of quantity hanging space.
What I finally came up with was to pull some spare plastic shower curtain rings out of storage, and put them on the shower rod between the rings holding the shower curtains up, without snapping them closed.
Most of our towels still have homemade loops on them from when I was hanging them in the previous house. So now I can hang them outside the shower curtains.
The landlord's shower curtain rods are moderately cheap ones, so I limited the number of added rings to a usable minimum.

We went to a yard sale today, where they were charging $5 per grocery bag. I found some books and fabric, a sewing pattern, and a single shoe last, four sizes too small for me, but it is interesting to see how it was made to come apart so it could be taken out of the finished shoe.
The children also found several things, including useful household items for their future homes.
