I'm finding my apron collection is growing rapidly these days and they're hung here and there but all in site so I can always admire them! Where do you hang your aprons? Are there any unique ideas out there for displaying and also keeping them readily available for use?

Melissa~ I have an old garden rake that hangs on the side of my cabinets. It is a great conversation piece and it reuses the rake. I can get 10 on there hanging two together.
Blessings,
Tina |

Tina that is the perfect solution! Mine just hang in a pantry closet, and you cannot see them. I know I have a rake laying around to repurpose! Carol

My hubby found the neatest wrought iron hook with a leaf pattern on it, he put it on the wooden cabinet enclosure around our refrigerator and that is where I hang my (our) aprons . . . he had one that I made for him that is his BBQ apron. They are visible, however I won't be able to hang lots and lots there.

I LOVE the rack idea! I have a white, iron shelf with hooks from the Target, shabby Chic collection. I have about 20 aprons. Some are a little to vintage to wear but I enjoy them. I once went to a tea room called "Aprons" and the curtains were ols aprons!
It's all good! |

I have a little wooden shelf with hanger things by the kitchen door. All mine hang there. It's right by the stove.

All three hang on a hook (that was meant for dog leashes) in the kitchen, right across from the stove, and buy the old 1950's chair/stool.

| I don't have any wall space to hang mine in the kitchen...so I hang mine in the bathroom under my bathrobe. I wish I had more wall...I love the rake idea. |

My two aprons (a denim one and a beautiful one that CRshelpmeet aka Jessie made me) are hanging on a hook between a cabinet and a kitchen window.

I have a shelf with pegs in my laundry room/ mud room off the kitchen. That's where mine is when it isn't on me.

I am thinking of using some aprons as curtains. I found the idea in the tearoom I mentioned in an earlier post.

I needed curtains for my bay window in my kitchen. I made some half aprons and hung them up as curtains. They are really cute. The aprons I use are hanging on hooks on my pantry door. It is getting full now. Need to think of something else.

I had my son put door knobs on a piece of wood and hung it in my pantry. My pantry is a big walk in which will probably be used as a breakfast nook later.
God is good....all the time.

What awesome ideas you all have!! My dh was standing here while I was reading Tina's garden rake post...I believe he's just run out to the barn to hide all the rakes from me! I love the curtain idea...does anyone have any pictures to share? Do you tie them on the curtain rod?
I'll be back...heading out to the barn to fetch that rake before he does:)

| I got a wooden coat tree (small, like it may have been for a child's room) at an auction and mine hang on it in a corner of the kitchen. I love it! |

I like the small coat tree idea. I have a really big kitchen and would love to get a hall tree.

I have my aprons hanging on the pegs attached to my mail sorter. My message and recipe center is in my kitchen, so everything is close at hand!

In my dining area.
Right now some are laying on the water cooler next to the hallway.
I just purchased one of those wooden towel hangers which I am going to paint and hang. That is where I will display most of my aprons.
Have a good day!

My aprons hang on a handmade hanger which is just a piece of wood with pegs in it. It is not anything fancy, but my husband made it and it comes with a story...
We have a friend who is a single man in his 50's and he often joins our family for dinner. For many years he came to visit us and would, jokingly, press his coat against the bare wall (where it would be very fitting for a hanger to be), let it drop to the floor, and consider it "hung". He would joke about gravity and tease us for not having a place for company to hang coats. So, one day, when we knew he would be visiting soon, my husband went to the shop and produced his board with pegs. He hung it in the bare spot on the wall near the door so that when our friend came to visit--voila!!--he had a spot for his coat to hang. We call our little rack "The Anti-Gravity Device" and that is where I have lovingly hung all of my aprons for the last 6 years or so!

I love the idea of using farm tools, like the rake. If I have a free wall in the laundry room once we get done remodelling it, maybe I could paint a mural with a clothesline strung to hang them on, with decorated clothespins to hold them... My most special apron hangs from a white enamel lid with a great red wooden knob, hung on the kitchen wall with a plate hanger. (Saw the idea at MaryJane's store in CD'A) I'll have to get the rest together and OUT.
We make a difference. |

I have returned (a few days later than previously posting) without rake in hand...seems my dh is better at hide & seek than me! I'm not giving up...I will find the rake:)
So many more wonderful ideas! Suzanne, I wish I had room for a coat rack~I love them and would love to see aprons hanging from one would be "sew" nice!!
Michelle, what a beautiful dining area you have, I love the color and love all of your aprons displayed!
Heather, I think you and me have the same apron hangin' spot!!! Mine are on pegs also as well as the pantry door, bakers rack etc etc...with 3 daughters in the house, my sweet daughter in law who visits often and myself...we have quite an apron assortment:) And now, after all of the kids have seen the movie Julie and Julia...we have a wide assortment of "pearls" hanging among our aprons! Seems now we can't cook or bake without our aprons and pearls! LOL:)
Carrie, what a wonderful story! I'm LOL right now:) and can just imagine the "coat drop!"...next time your friend comes to visit, maybe you should surprise him with his own apron as well as the wonderful place to hang his coat:)
Never to give up...tomorrow is a brand new day in search of my garden rake!!! Where o' where could that dh of mine put it??? If not a rake...I love the door knob idea for hanging aprons~perhaps he shall come home from work and not a door knob shall be found except on the walls with an assortment of aprons hanging from them!!

My home aprons hang in the kitchen and my work aprons hang in the hall so I can grab them on the way out to the garage!

I've been looking for a way to display mine, too. Love the rake idea! Cute story about the "anti-gravity device".
