I love to cook but not really for one person. But I try. This task didn’t take me very long because it’s pretty much already “organized” .
Here’s the AFTER:
You can see the 3 green bins I got from Big Lots in this one. Now, I saw this REALLLLLLLLY AWESOME idea as I surfed through other blogs. http://www.theburtclan.com/2011/01/mission-organization-spice-cabinet.html When I saw this, I absolutely fell in love with this idea! I researched on where in the world I could find this!! It is bit pricey. See, my cabinets is metal, ya know, from the 50′s?!? Retro kitchen I’d say! I LOVE IT! Well, these magentic tins would go beautifully on the inside cabinet door!! I’m in LOOOOOOOOOOVE! I have a birthday coming up…. hint hint!! (That’s me hoping one of my sisters read this.
As I researched, some comes with the metal sheet for the wooden cabinets. That’s what makes it even more pricey. But I’ve also read some blogs that they got the sheet from places like Home Depot, Menard’s etc… I’m thinking… if ever I move to another house that has wooden cabinets, I could get the sheet and have my dad cut them out. OR I could put on the side of my fridge. Some fridge is next to the stove. Mine isn’t. But for now, the tins would do the trick. I’ve seen bunch of those tins on ebays. I think The container store too but I can’t remember. That’s definitely an idea I’m gonna eventually get. But for now, they stay in the jars they came in. Honestly, I have been keeping an eye on spice racks and haven’t found the ones that works for me until these tins!! The ones on the counter, that’s just steals spaces! Anyways, So, the jars goes in those green bins for now. I’m putting away my tupperware spice carosel. It doesn’t work for me and for some reasons, it doesn’t keep my spices fresh. It hardens up in there. YUCK! So, I’m getting rid of them. Hopefully the magentic tins would do a better job. On the second shelf, you may see a ziploc bag. I didn’t have a small ziploc bag at the time. See, my peppergrinder uhhmmmm warped from the stove. OOPS!! So, I got the salt and pepper grinder set. Put the extra peppers in that large ziploc bag. Silly, I know. I knew I had one empty jar so I put the peppers in that. That’s placed on the spice shelf where it belongs.
I’ve also moved up the flour and sugar boxes up closer to the edge so I won’t be throwing things in front of them. I find myself having to remove few things before taking out the containers. WHAT A HASSLE!! I’m learning to find ways to stop me from doing that again.
The top shelf holds the things I don’t use very often. The bottom shelf, too bad that the left side has the vent taking over that whole half bottom shelf. Not even half inch of space I could put items in front of it. Oh well! Not a pretty sight, I know.
So, not as much of changes in this one but it works for me.
Have fun organizing!!
