Spice Organizing

JeanLouiseFinch · ‎10-03-2011

Accessing my spices is a continual frustration as I have to unload half thebottles to find what I'm looking for. I've used the tiered shelves and they didn't last long. I'd always end up knocking something over when reaching to the tallest shelf in the back. Any suggestions? I'm looking at these but have mixed feelings. Opnions?

I bought a drawer insert and converted one of my drawers to a spice drawer. I bought those cutesy jars with the labels that you see all over Instagram and I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did. I absolutely love and adore it. Then then I put turntables in my cabinet with the spices that I don't use as often.

It looks great to me. Can you adjust the height between each shelf?

ETERNITY: your choice... smoking or non smoking!

@spent2much the legs on the first set are a set length.

@JeanLouiseFinch : I have limited cabinet space plus the cabinets are narrow. This has been a very frustrating area for me. I had mixed feelings about this but this was on sale and I had extra 20 % coupon. It has been one of my better solutions. I watched YouTube videos for help. I tried to make it as secure and sturdy as possible but one area wobbles a bit and very careful when removing the spice jars. But I am able to store more spices My friend wanted this and I purchased it for her birthday. She has newer and bigger cabinets and really loves this.

I have a clear pocket 'shoe organizer' hung inside my pantry door that I use for spices/flavorings.

I bought 2 lazy susan's by Rubbermaid. And put all the spices in alphabetical order.

Have spent lots of time putting everything back in order through the years. A couple of months ago I spent part of the afternoon going through and throwing out old stuff and putting everyhting back in alphabetical order. It lasted a few days and there was dill spice in with the onion powder. And now I just gave up. If you want a spice you can hunt for it. I admit defeat.

I am going to look more into this. I have two round, two tier shelves I can turn. I have plenty of space, finally at 60 and I have my spices in alphabetical order. Works pretty well.

When I was much younger, I had a collection of silver president spoons on a wall rack. I also had a cleaning girl so I could be available to do all the travel and sporting events my husband wanted to do on weekends, as I worked out of the home all week. The girl was in high school and I had a list of the order of presidents inside my hutch, taped, so she could clean the spoons and get them in right order on the rack. I became the laughing stock of the neighborhood but was even better when my husband told the people I had the spices in ahalpbetical order. It worked for me.

@SouthernBee Thank you. I'm assuming you're referring to the one in my top picture?
