I had a Vileda broom with a detachable handle. The idea was that you could buy replacement heads for it, however, by the time I decided that I needed a new head for the broom, they were no longer available. I bought a new broom but the fact remained that I had a worn out broom head and a perfectly good handle.
I had read some time ago that the best way to hang home-made pasta to dry was over a broom handle resting between two chairs. So I decided that my obsolete broom handle would now be my pasta drying rack. The next question was where would I store it when it is not being used?
Since the handle will be used in the kitchen it seemed sensible to store it in the same room. I fixed a hook to the wall of the pantry and hung the handle on it. Now it is easily accessible when I am making pasta.
Here you can see it hanging just inside the pantry door.
It is only a small project but makes all the difference when things have a specific location and are easy to find when required.

My DD has an old broom handle in her pantry that she uses when she makes spaghetti. I must tell her to hang it up like you have. When I lived in the UK many years ago, we used to call it a broom stale. I often use the broom handle as a measure. If I want to put a picture hook in the wall at the same height as another one, I just use the stale and keep my thumb on the desired point and then use it when making a mark on the wall. If that makes sense!! I also use when moving furniture around to see how wide the item is and whether it will fit where it has to go!
