But last Friday we hosted a navy function and needed our dining room to serve all the food. I actually cleaned the room by sorting everything in it and finding a permanent place for every item. But alas, no before picture. So, it's really not all that impressive of a task for those of you who never saw it!
Here's a smaller job that I actually do have pictures of. In the interest of full disclosure, I actually did this last summer and never posted it. But it's still organized and working for me, so here's my new and improved spice cabinet.
Before
My cabinet was full, but it was hard to find anything that I really needed.
So everything came out to be sorted. Expired spices and baking items were thrown away. And everything was grouped with other similar items. There were multiples of several spices that were combined to save space.
After
Then it all went back into the cabinet properly labeled with space to spare.
Is it wrong that I'm jealous? :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy...I so need to do that! No matter how hard I try to stay on top if it...it always gets away from me. I'm a crazy chef, I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteI started to do this... and stopped. I need to finish! Hubby is frustrated with me because there is a box on the counter with all my spices in it! I'm not sure why but it's easier for me to find them in the box than it was in the cabinet. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteI put all my spices in pint sized canning jars. This way they are all uniform in size for stacking, I can get any sized measuring spoon into the jar, and since the labels are not taking up the whole jar, I can easily see when I am low on something. I transfer bigger stuff such as baking cocoa, salt, pwd. milk and bulk spices into quart jars for storage.
