We all know I like to cook and you have to have a lot of good spices and magic tricks to make your recipes taste really good. Well, my spice cupboard was complete chaos. Check it out....
I had to rummage through random spices to find what I needed every time I was cooking dinner. Plus the amount of sprinkles I had accumulated with kids and Activity Days was ridiculous! On top of that, my friend let me raid her spice cupboard when she moved so I got some extras and some new stuff that got sucked into the vortex of the chaos. So while the kids were playing around with Ry during the ice storm I decided to go through everything. I threw out stuff, I put things in different containers with labels, I condensed down stuff, etc etc. So this is what it looked like after that...
Better, but I still didn't have easy access to things when I was cooking. So I headed over to Target and got 4 turntable/lazy Susan things and put some of my stuff on there. Now I feel like I can see everything, I can get to it quickly, and everything has a place. So this is the final result. It's a close up picture so it only shows the first 3 shelves. The 4th shelf has a basket that holds all my sprinkles and cake decorating items.
It feels so refreshing! And can I just say that a label maker goes a long way! Everything looks better labeled! So what do you think?

Oh I LOVE It Brit!
I want to do MINE now!
Eric bought me a label maker for V-day! :) hahahahaha
I need to whip it out and label something! Now I've got the urge. Thank You!
Love You,

I think you need to come over and organize mine. (Or I guess I could do it, since it will be a while since I see you :) )
Looks great!!! I love my label maker too, it just makes everything you label look so much neater!!!
Good job. My spice cabinet is total chaos. There is all sorts of crazy stuff in there that I can't seem to part with. You never know when you'll need whole star anise! Ok, so that's one I could throw away...
Brilliant!!! Lazy Susans... hmm... I think I know where next month's organizing juju is focusing... :) The "before" looks way too familiar, and the "after" cupboard looks great!
