spice cabinet refresh

The tips and ideas I’m sharing today are for a spice cabinet refresh.

It’s that time of year when I like to do an organizing update of my home.

I’ve been working on cleaning out and organizing my kitchen recently.

My spice cabinet was needing a refresh, so let me share some products and budget friendly ideas I used.

where to start with a spice cabinet refresh

I started by completely emptying the cabinet.

Then, I checked expiration dates on everything. I had expired spices, duplicate ones, and some I have no idea why I even had them.

I threw out any expired spices and any I had acquired and will never use.

One tip is to keep a list going of spices you are low on or throwing out, so you can replace them.

There is nothing more frustrating than getting into a recipe and realizing you don’t have the right spice!

Next, wipe down the shelves of the cabinet.

This is a good time to replace shelf paper liner, if you use that.

I wanted a really clean and uncluttered look so I searched online for spice jars and came up with these clear jars with bamboo lids. 

I also reused some spice jars I already had by removing the stock label and adding a label to match the new jars. 

These are what a lot of my jars looked like, and luckily the labels came off pretty easily.

I switched all the spices over to the new jars and/or these old ones I repurposed then created labels using my dymo label maker.

I ordered 2 of these bamboo double turntables. My cabinet is fairly narrow, so I could only fit 1 turntable per shelf.

These are the new, shorter jars, after I added the labels.

And these are the old jars after I had washed them, removed the old labels and added the new labels.

Another tip is to put your spices in alphabetical order so they are easier to find. It can get time consuming to have to go on a hunt for the spice you are looking for.

And, voila’, just like that, a brand new spice cabinet look.

I love how the look of the new jars and old jars compliment one another.

Since I used the same labels they work well together.

And by repurposing the old spice jars it was a very cost effective refresh.

I hope you enjoyed these easy and budget friendly organizing ideas and tips for a spice cabinet refresh.
