It is a generic cupboard organizer, but has different sized "compartments" for the different lids. This way I can organize round lids in one, square in another etc. Unfortunately, my 18 month old seems to like to disrupt the process on a daily basis!

I recently switched to glass for health reasons, and either tossed the old or use it for kids lunches, in case it doesn't come back home. I keep all containers with their lids on and stack them according to size. Everything is now at my fingertips, no searching for the right lids or having to move a stack to get to the one I need, inevitably it was in the middle. It's so much better now, and quit pretty to look at. After several tries at keeping a functional storage place in my cupboard, I finally found what works for me!
