The day I decided to organize my spices, Alyssa had my camera, so I used my old point and shoot to capture the mess- hence the grainy photos.
Any good organization project begins has to start out with a big ol' mess right?
I had been keeping spices in several different cabinets, none of which was very well organized.
Over the years I've tried and failed at coming up with a well organized workable system.
This lazy susan was ok, but didn't hold much.
I had a unit that attached to the cabinet door once, but bottles would fall out and onto my head about every third time I opened the cabinet.
Somehow over time I ended up using four different cabinets to hold what should have been together in one cabinet. Definitely not an efficient use of space.
Pinterest came to my rescue. I do love pinterest. I googled spice stack to check the reviews and they were almost all positive, so I bought one.
Now what was taking up parts of four different cabinets is tucked away neatly in just one.
Even though it's up high, I can still access all the spices without needing a stool. Each drawer pulls out and pivots downward. Cool huh?
What doesn't fit in the spice stack, I have on a tiered shelf so everything is visable.
Diane, if you're reading this, see the steak seasoning? I love it!
All my spices, oils and even cooking wines are in one cabinet and nothing is hidden from view to be lost and forgotten.
It isn't flashy and beautiful, but it's efficient and doesn't fall on my head. I'm a happy girl.
Like that Spice Rack...

How very cool. I've never seen a spice tray like this. I will have to investigate further! Thanks for the tip. :)
