I usually make a batch of steel cut oats using the overnight method, making a few days worth at a time. I usually put them in the fridge the day after making, but last week I left the pot out for about three days (covered, at room temp). On about day 3, the oatmeal had, without a doubt, gone rancid. It was pretty gross. My lesson? Oatmeal should be refrigerated, for sure.

i think some beautiful decorative hooks hung either in a row or at random places would look pretty. you could hang your most beautiful scarves or jewelry on the hooks.

another idea is to change out the knob with a flat face plate (like others have said) and then create kind of "another door" next to it, with similar moulding. basically, if there's a way to make the door look more like a decorative pannel, you could add another. the symmetry would help make it seem more intentional...

I just got a set of 4 from sur la table, their white collection. I can't seem to find them online; I purchased them in the store. They're perfect- basic, white ceramic, good size and oven proof. They were super cheap, I think around $3.50 or so a piece.

the same thing here- it was difficult to pack large, bulky items in the bags. everything just got kind of squashed and wrinkled. at least half of the bags ripped immediately after filling (although i may have packed them too much) and all the other ones ripped at some point during a move. like someone else said, they're compact, but they can be very heavy and difficult to grip, carry, etc. if the bags were sturdier, this product would be my best friend for storage.
