And, why not use the dishwasher for storage? After all, don't we really have to wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher anyways. I think they should really be called dish rinsers or dish dryers.Decor Fellow: James Saavedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225034981740640684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-30014567551028692882008-10-01T10:40:00.000-04:002008-10-01T10:40:00.000-04:00Way to McGuyver more storage.
