Given that, it should come as a surprise that since moving into this house 2.5 years ago, I have yet to organize much of anything; especially areas in my kitchen. Rather than overwhelm myself with taking on the entire kitchen at once, I took small bites. Which seems to have become my 2015 battle cry: <em>small bites to achieve big goals, guys<\/em>! This week, I scrawled <em>spice cabinet organization<\/em> in big orange letters in my planner. And on Tuesday we took a $40 trip to Target to chew on this small bite towards organizing our kitchen. Here are my results along with several clever spice cabinet organization ideas for your own project.<\/p>\n<p>SUPPLIES<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>three (half gallon) <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/v4in93eqw\">mason jars<\/a> for flour, sugar, and powdered sugar (I may go purchase a fourth for my brown sugar)<\/li>\n<li>one spice shelf (<a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/v4ikv3eqw\">similar<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>one wire cabinet shelf (<a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/v4ipr3eqw\">similar<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>one wire basket (found at the Target Dollar Spot)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas4.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas4\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\"><\/p>\n<p>The first step I took was to completely empty out the cabinet, spray it down with cleaner, and wipe it out. Next, I went through each item looking for expiration dates and discarding expired ones or spices we haven&#8217;t used in over a year (poultry seasoning that we bought and have used not a single time) and seasonings or spices we bought to try and ended up disliking. After the purge, I was left with a much more manageable and practical amount.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas14.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas14\" width=\"800\" height=\"803\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas13.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas13\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Next, I decorated my mason jar lids with some lovely floral paper. To recreate this for your mason jars, simply trace the lids on your desire patterned paper and cut out. I used super glue to secure the paper to the lid and then the lid to the rim since I knew these jars would be used exclusively for storing my sugar, flour, and powdered sugar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas3.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas3\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas9.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas9\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas11.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas11\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>While my lids were drying, I assembled my wire cabinet shelf and placed it inside my cabinet on the top shelf. Underneath the wire shelf, I stored my extra sugar, flour, powdered sugar, and brown sugar. On the top, I stored additional baking items like cornstarch, food coloring, and more. Lastly, off to the open side, I stored my oils and vinegars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas2.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas7.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas7\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas8.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas8\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>On my bottom cabinet shelf, I installed my spice shelf and organized them by most frequently used in the front and less used in the back. I also stored my extra salt and pepper on the far back of the spice shelf since I only use them when it&#8217;s time for a refill of my shakers. I scored a wire self for $3 in the Target Dollar Spot that works perfectly with seasoning packets, dip mix, and more. I organized my packets neatly inside the basket and placed it next to the spice shelf. In front of that, I placed my salt and pepper shakers for easy access.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas1.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas1\" width=\"800\" height=\"1066\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas6.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas6\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/spice-acbinet-organization-ideas10.png\" alt=\"spice acbinet organization ideas10\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>My end result was a gloriously organized cabinet that makes my heart sing every time I open it.
