I can't say that enough. I am very lucky to have such a great room...
However...
I have a corner cabinet that has a lazy susan in it... and I have been keeping my spices on the bottom rack... I can't ever find the right spice for the recipe I am making... therefore I come up with 4 containers of Rosemary Leaf, 3 containers of both Ground Mustard and Mustard Seed.
Not the greatest thing for staying in our grocery budget.
I visited our local Dollar Tree to see what containers they would have for spice storage, and I came up with these cuties...
I purchased 5 packages of 10 containers for a total of $5.00
Got out my trusty label maker - made up labels for each spice container - both for the top of the lid as well as the side. Therefore I can see the spice name wherever they may be. Great news... I also came across 3 containers of dillweed... REeeeeallll Nice....
You can see our kitchen layout in this link : Smothers' Kitchen
I thought about using a riser system to display all the containers.... I thought about just stacking them up all in rows... this is me "practicing" a new layout....
I have all these extra bottles that are odd balls... I put those guys all together on the second shelf...grouping the like ones together, I married the misc bottles of cinnamon, parsley etc. together into one big bottle, cleaning up some sq. footage.
I decided to go with a smaller lazy susan inside the bottom shelf of the cabinet left of the stove... right about my cooking utensil drawer...
I even put my baking items on the top shelf.. so now ALL my spices and baking items are all housed together.
Have you found a good spice organization system that works for you?
