Since the kids are back to school, I have decided to tackle my kitchen cupboards. I love to cook, most days. But I get a little rage when I open the spice cupboard to an avalanche of baking items plummeting to my head. I don't bake often but seem to have collected a wide variety of baking chocolate! Who knew all of that was hiding in the crevasses of the cupboards?! I had so many partial bags of things that I didn't even know about. I definitely needed new way to get my 'pantry cupboard' in order.
So I took a trip to my local Solutions for a little inspiration. I purchased a step-like spice rack to organize large spices and all of the ones that were in different shaped containers. I used some little plant pots that I already had to label and organize candles, icing tubes and sprinkles which I don't use very often. The top shelf of this cupboard used to house all my baking stuff (flour, sugar etc.). Instead of crossing my fingers each time I open the cupboard in hopes nothing falls, I bought some shoe racks from Ikea to store all of my pantry items in glass jars. I do not have a built in pantry in my kitchen, so this was a perfect solution. They are ultra narrow and tilt to open taking up very little space. Here are some photos of my now-not-so-troublesome cupboards.
The top drawers are 'Mama's' and the bottom drawers house...YOU GUESSED IT...toys, colouring books, homework books, etc.
So now...I am obsessed...obsessed with these shoe racks!!! I can think of a million ways to use them in all areas of the house. They take up such little space and could hold pretty much anything with a little imagination.
How are you going to use yours?
