Store Spices In Baskets

This is one of my favorite parts of our organized kitchen because it makes it so easy to find exactly what I need. We store our spices in baskets by how often we use them.

Our spices are stored in a small cabinet above the microwave that is hard to reach. We were often getting out our step ladder just to grab a spice and it was kind of a pain to always be climbing just to grab the chilli powder.

So instead we came up with this system of dividing our spices up into baskets. We have one for most used, sometimes used, and rarely used. By doing this, we can easily grab the basket, pull it down from the shelf and pull the spice right out of it.

If you use the same spices over and over, but also have different spices that you use every once in a while this is a great way to keep them organized and easy to reach!

Use Hooks In  Your Baking Cabinet

Isn’t it frustrating that the measuring spoons seem to always be missing or you can’t find your 1/4 measuring cup? Solve that problem by using a key rail to hang your measuring cups and spoons! Just mount it to the back of your cabinet and hang everything up! Such a brilliant idea to keep your baking supplies organized!

Add A Lazy Susan To Corner Cabinets

Corner kitchen cabinets seem to always be the catch all for junk in our kitchens. They are deep and hard to reach the items stored in the back. If you find it hard to keep your corner cabinets organized or you can’t find anything in them, try using a lazy susan. Lazy susans are a brilliant way to keep your cabinets organized and make your things easier to reach.
