A few ideas: @northwoods woman: a good waterbottle that keeps ice for a long time and doesn't sweat is sold by Flylady.net.
@vancGard: reading in bed: how about a headlamp that is worn for camping. We used one during the Sandy blackout-it made is so much easier to cook without having to hold a flashlight. I now use it for reading in bed too.
Slipping mattresses, bedskirts: would one of those mats you get to keep rugs from slipping put between the mattresses and bedskirt work?
Worn clothing: Designate one end of the rod for these items and put some kind of round separator like they use to mark off different sizes in department stores on the rod to mark off this area. A separate hook for ironing and mending items is good and also a hook for tomorrows clothes to hang out the night before so you can make sure everything is clean, ironed and has all buttons etc.

When we spent time in Italy, we had a lot of long, wonderful summer dinners with friends and were introduced to lemoncello (sp?), a lemon liquor which is served in short, thin glasses. As a reminder of the lovely time, we found a set of 6 in yellow, blue and green in a small shop. They always remind us of that summer and are great for after dinner, especially on a hot night. Well, maybe a cold night too.
