Milk Pail w/ Wood Handle

I love this galvanized utensil holder. Goes so well with my new kitchen. The only problem is that it is pretty tall. Here is a picture to compare with my old utensil holder ( which I found at an antique shop). My older one is much shorter so the tops of the spoons, whisks, etc. fan out more and you can fit a lot more. This new one almost swallows my wooden spoons, so you can’t put anything too short. I do plan to fix this by putting something on the bottom to prop the spoons up higher. Maybe some fat bubble wrap or something lol. Idk but I love it too much to send back so I’m going to find a solution.
