Organizing my spice rack has been on my to-do list FOR.EV.ER. So, naturally, I scoured Pinterest for ‘Pinspiration.’ Previously, it was a dark, unorganized mess and I could never find anything or I’d forget I had a certain spice and then buy duplicates. So I decided to tackle this problem once and for all.
I picked up these cute little magnetic spice tins at World Market for $2 each. I was expecting the standard stainless steel color, but was pleasantly surprised with their choices of red, green, and teal. Naturally, I chose teal (big surprise). Then I picked up a 12×24 sheet of metal from Lowe’s for $5, tacked it up to the inside of my cabinet door and voila! Organized spices. FINALLY. Well, that was easy. What took me so long?!
What about you guys? What kind of spice organization works for you?

Aw, thanks Dad! For what it's worth, at least it's a quick, easy, and inexpensive project!

Curious how they hold up (magnetically speaking…hehe)! I've read that some other 'big box' types tend to slide down the magnetic board. How are they when they are all the way filled with spices (not something like cilantro, maybe more like something with red pepper or cumin)

Whaaat? Another Woodhouse who keeps a blog? I am a friend of Jess. Just read six of your entries without commenting. Enough already. I'm a fan. Fine writing runs in the family. 😉 Nice to meet you.
I have waaaay too many spices for a rack like that.
I'd need a serious rack. IYKWIM.
And if you don't know what that means, ask Jess. 😉

Jen says
Andrea,
Totally. After I finished this project, I was like, why did this take me so long to complete again?!

I've been trying to decide how to store my spices, and this is one that I've given a lot of thought to. How do you like it so far?

I'm planning on doing this in our kitchen as well, but I'm wondering if the spice tins have a holes so you can dispense the spices, or if you have to remove the lid and pinch them out yourself? I'm looking for tins that have the holes!
Thanks!! 🙂
Jen says
Jesyka,
They do have holes… one that is larger for pouring and smaller ones for sprinkling. You just twist the top until you line it up with the openings. 🙂
Jen says
Erin,
I love them! They work wonderfully! And I always get compliments on my cute organization!

I have way to many spices because I tend to be a bit of a foodie!! Any suggestions on what to do if you have like, 30 spice jars???
