Recently I've been trying to organize our kitchen in our new house. We have a lot of spices, and my soul was craving to have them in order. So I decided to make a simple spices organizer in a drawer. The best part about it - is it cost me less than $5.

Let's see how I did it so you can do it in your home too!

Related small kitchen DIYs:

  • Anthropologie inspired charcuterie board
  • DIY wooden produce storage rack
  • Foldable cookbook stand (great gift and also an IKEA hack)
  • Utensils drawer dividers

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I used to have another organizer, and it worked great, but for this kitchen, it makes more sense to keep spices in the drawers instead of cabinets. You can find it here.

Spices organizer I previously had.

Materials

  • ½" plywood
  • Wood glue
  • Spices jars

Instructions

Step 1 - measure the drawers

Measure the width of your drawer.

Since all the drawers are different, my measurement probably won't matter. But I'll just throw it out there - my drawer is 7", which made it perfect to fit four spice jars in a row.

Spice jars, I believe, are standard and come in a 4" height.

These are mine, but there are many different ones on Amazon.

Step 2 - cut plywood

After I measured the width of the drawers and jars, I cut plywood into rectangular 7x4 ½". I added ½" to the height of the jars.

Using my table saw, I also cut 7x1 ½" strips for the elevation.

1 ½" strip with ½" of plywood creates a nice display of the spice jars.

Step 3 - glue strips to the front boards

This step could be done in different ways. I decided to use wood glue to attach both boards. It's not a construction structure, and there is no need to add screws or brad nails.

I clamped them together and waited for them to dry.

And that's it! Now for the fun part - to organize all your spices in jars and put cute labels on them.

The set I bought came with cute labels that I was so happy to put on the jars. It took some time to put them together, but the end result was worth it!

I absolutely love how it turned out!

Now my spices are organized, and it makes me very happy! Between this and DIY utensils drawer dividers, I'm not sure which one is my favorite.

What's your favorite kitchen organization hack?

I think I'll go and cook something now ;D

Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a vision for a piano in this corner of my drawing room. I've been passively checking FBMP for awhile now, since it's definitely wasn't a priority (haha we didn't even have a couch till few days ago). 

So when I saw this beauty 5 mins away from us, I said to myself it had to be mine! 

I finished 7 years of musical school (I was 15 at the time, and barely played ever since). But I really want to pick it up again and teach my kids how to play (well, who am I kidding? I don't have patience for teaching my kids, so I'll find someone who is more qualified than me). 

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear my kids play? ☺️ I'd start with Chopin, he's always been my favorite☺️ I hope kids are ready for it😅🤣

Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pa Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pain, the betrayal, that feeling of being powerless? Some people are simply not good people. And I've done my share. I was in a survival mode for more years I can count. How about switching the narrative and fucking focus my energy on me? To thrive! For me and my kids! That's the only thing I want now. 
It's hard to do, but thriving is the only way to go!
