    Well, after a long wait for my son to send me the containers from Ikea. (none near here)
    I finally got my soap storage idea to frution.

    1. Bought stainless steel/plastic windowed screw top containers from Ikea

    2. Get zinc plated steel barstock, cut to length
    3. Open Door
    4. Attach bars

    5. Attach soap filled containers

    Still have a couple of open spots for more soaps!

    Looks great, Bob! great idea. I take it the bottoms of the containers have magnets on them?

    Yep, I was afraid the magnets would be wimpy but the are pretty substantial and hold really strong.

    I have tried that as well but unfortunately I find the diameter of the containers to small. I like large containers to minimize smudging. I now use Jämka, 300 ml, $2 for three containers.

    Nice use of Den space. Looks like you could fit a couple more pieces of barstock on the door. :happy088:
