An Organized Kitchen

One of the things that I truly love about my kitchen in our log home is how organized I can be. There is enough cabinet and pantry space for all of my cooking tools and ingredients. Up till now, however, there was one very disorganized cabinet. I bet you can guess which one it is! Yep, you guessed it....the spice cabinet! Most of us probably have the same problem keeping our spices organized...too many little jars and not enough little spaces to keep them in any semblance of order. Well, my problem has been solved.
A friend made this handy spice cabinet for me and I installed it this afternoon. It has spring loaded hinges that are attached to the front of the cabinet. It swings out to reveal two sides full of spices.
The space that remains behind it in the cabinet has plenty of shelf space, now, to finish organizing everything.....and each container remains visible and completely accessible. I removed the two shelves, moved the shelf brackets back and cut each of the shelves in half. Then I installed all four halves which increased my shelf space by two additional shelves....spaced just far enough apart for those tiny spice jars.
My kitchen is now complete....my world is in order (ok, well at least my kitchen is in order!) Thanks JOE!!!!!! I just love it....my life is complete!

I have seen these and would definitely love one. I hate it when you can't find the spice you need and you know you have it. My whole kitchen needs to be redone. Some day~It's on the list of dreams.

I am in total envy of your spice cabinet. Mine are in three different places, and finding the one I need is sometimes difficult.
