This was what my spice cabinet looked like last week. It was stuffed to the gills and every time I opened the cabinet I had jars from the second shelf falling on my head. After several broken jars and many. many. curse words, I decided to do something about it! I saw this idea on a blog previously and loved the idea. It started with these:
I found 55 jars on
KSL for $5.00 about 3 minutes away from my house. Score! I got them home, emptied them (they were old and expired!) took the labels off, put them in the dishwasher, got them out and scrubbed each one with goo be gone to get rid of the goo left from the labels, back in the dishwasher they went. In the meantime, the lids got a coat of primer, then black paint. Wrote the names of the spices on the lids with this pen- and trust me we tried several and this was the best!
Then I sprayed the lids with a final coat of clear lacquer and filled the jars up and put them in the big drawer in my kitchen island alphabetically. MUCH BETTER!
And the cupboard is much better now too! Nothing falling on my head :)
