Tackle it Tuesday

This week's project was the spice cabinet. All those bottles jammed in there every which way. It was a pain trying to find anything.


Hard to believe that much stuff would even fit in that small cabinet.

The challenge was to figure out a way to put it all back so that I could easily locate whatever I needed. First, I threw out all the expired spices, saving some bottles for... well, whatever I might want them for one day. 8-} Amazingly, I actually made it work.

I cleaned up the old spice rack that was collecting dust in a dark corner to put some of the more frequently used spices on the counter. Then I cut a little styrofoam 'step' for the small bottles at the back of the bottom shelf. I swiped another shelf from the opposite cabinet, which makes use of previously wasted space. With all the spices arranged around the edges, and measuring cups and little bowls in the center, all the labels are visible. Vinegars and odd bits on top. VIOLA! ;]


One cabinet down, about 14 to go. (^;^)
