I just love me a happy spice cabinet makeover, don't you? 🙂

After moving last December I finally decided it was time to reorganize my space cabinet with the right things for the space I have, and oh my word ~ it makes me so happy. (It's the little things in life, don't you think?)

It wasn't really all that bad before, but it's even better now. 🙂

Here's what I did as I was cleaning it out (that you can go do too if you have a few minutes this weekend!)

  1. Raised the shelves so that I had more space in between the lower shelves.
  2. Got rid of any expired spices.
  3. Saved duplicate spices to give to my college-aged kids for their apartments.
  4. Ordered the Spicy Shelf from Amazon and set it up on the bottom shelf.
  5. Also used two of these lazy susans (I had them already).

Before . . . 

NOT terrible at all, but my organizers didn't work as well in the space I have, and I desperately needed to move my bottom shelves up higher. 

 

This Spicy Shelf from Amazon (or even less on Walmart) is perfect because it fits into almost any size space you have – from 7 3/8″ all the way up to 32″ if you need it!


After. 

Success!

After going through the spices I had in an organizer similar to this one (but a little larger), I realized that I had a ton of duplicate spices and that the container took up a LOT of valuable space. By clearing out the extras I have SO much more space for what we actually use.

Win, win!

If you're looking for a few other spice cabinet organizers, we rounded up a bunch of PPP reader favorite Spice Cabinet Organizers in this post. 

 

And, in case you need a little more inspiration here's my spice cabinet makeover from way back in 2016. Not too shabby, but I'm loving my new one even more!

 

Spice Cabinet Makeover Spring 2016

I bought the most fun organizing toy ever this weekend, and couldn't wait to share it with you! 

 

We have a slew of family coming in for Easter this weekend, and the disaster in my spice cabinet has been long overdue for some attention.

So, after hearing a friend mention how much she loved this, I decided I had to try it out.

It's genius.

It even comes with pre-printed labels, so you can feel oh-so-organized!

And I loved that most of the spices I use from Aldi, Kroger, and Walmart all fit right inside the organizer.

Perfection.

I haven't seen it ever drop in price below $39.99 (if you find one for less I'd love to hear about it), but part of the problem with organizing at my house is that I'm so frugal sometimes I hate splurging on things that seem so frivolous.

 

But, if I lose everything in my spice cabinet and don't even know what's there (so buy extra stuff bc it all gets lost in the back shelf . . . ), I'm definitely not pinching any pennies.



So, a little on the frivolous side, but goodness I love it already (and will let you know if I'm able to keep things that tidy for a few days!)

 

Have you found any other ways to clean out your cabinets that have worked for you? I'd love to hear them ~ leave a comment to share!
