Spicing up the pantry

I picked a cabinet for all my spices and cooking stuff…

DSCN4478

It sat like this for exactly 5 days before I couldn’t even take it anymore! (And I hadn’t even baked anything yet!)

YIKES!

What a disaster! I am OCD when it comes to being organized, so obviously this train wreck was not going to work for me.

I headed over to the our local hardware store and bought this awesome organizer.

DSCN4481

I cringed and looked away as they rang it up (almost $40!) but I know it is so worth the investment.

You can see the mess in the cabinet where I previously had all my spices. Obviously I didn’t pick a big enough cabinet. I decided to hang the shelf organizer on the inside of my pantry door.

DSCN4482

It took me about 10 minutes to hang it. These are so super easy to install. I just screwed it right onto the door.

Now I can let out a sigh of relief!

DSCN4486

An organized spice rack! Niiiiice.

DSCN4487

I still have to organize the actual pantry, but at least my spices and cooking stuff are taken care of.

Being organized isn’t hard. You just have to have the right supplies. For under $40 I went from this disaster:

To this neat and tidy pantry:

I can’t wait to do all sorts of fun home decor crafts, but for now I’m just trying to get the bones of the house taken care of. I hope you like organizing tips because I have a feeling I’ve got a few more posts in the future.

    @ Lorie, they had ones that were more narrow and also ones that were half as tall – pretty much any size and shape you could want.

    Great pics and congrats on your organized spice rack!! Very cool!
    I have taken those plastic shoe hanging thingys that holds like 18 pair of shoes? I put that over my closet door in the hall next to my studio and I put all my glues and paint brushes and the like in it. Totally organized now…and I love it! Plus it is see-through and I can see everything this way.

    I wish I had a walk in pantry so I could use one of those door spice rack organizers. Mine are just stacked on shelves in the kitchen. 😐

    Oh I love this!! I have tons of spices in my cabinet and they are all just thrown around in the pantry…Home Depot looks like it is my lunch route this week for a spice rack…I do need one of those also. Thanks for the tip.

    I have the same thing on my pantry door! I even bought an additional thin shelf that clips on to hold packets of seasonings or koolaid.
    Looks great!

    I have the same organizing shelf on my pantry door! It’s so nice while cooking to be able to reach in there and grab something as needed, and it’s nice that my husband cooks and returns the spices because it’s super simple!

    Allison, I have a great way i organized my spices, and I have a ton just like you. I will be posting something on it within the week or two. Also, I bought several of those organizers and LOVE them, also will see how I use them in my posting, and yes I about fell when they got rung up too. LOL, very expensive, but def worth it. Thanks for sharing!!!

    That is EXACTLY how I organized the spices in my old house for 16 years. I loved it and it worked beautifully. Then we moved.Now the pantry is too far away from the stove for me. 🙁 So I had to come up with a new solution which I’ll be sharing on WOW this week.
    I hope your pantry spice rack brings you as many years of organized happiness as mine brought to me.

    I have one but I found it at Walmart for under $20.00 – It probably isn’t exact but for half price it works.

    I love it and want to try this with my pantry! Just wondering if your door is hollow like mine? I wasn’t sure if the screws hold or rip out once it is all loaded? Any thoughts or advice? Thanks.

    I certainly need to organize my spices. I hate that I cram them all into a cabinet space that can be crammed with… something else! ha! I can never find the spices I need, and they fall out when I’m digging in there. Thanks for the tip!!

    I have the same spice rack and it is totally worth the money. Love. It. Do you have an Old Time Pottery near you? They often have those same organizers for less than Container Store or a home improvement store.

    I wish I had real doors on my pantry instead of folding doors, if I did I would be running to Home Depot right now to get one of these. Instead all my spices and stuffs is crowding a drawer right by the stove.

    Hi Allison,
    Do you know if they have brackets that can hang over the door instead of being screwed on and are the shelves adjustable?
