I built floating shelves in the kitchen where I stock all of my herbs and spices. I also bought like 50+ glass jars with labels so that all of my spices look consistent across the board. I then alphabetized everything, and placed the jars inside of a sideways, upright old wooden coke crate - turns out they are just barely bigger than the spice jars and the entire thing looks sooooo good....you get the rustic antique that's super functional. Nice thing is you can find like half a dozen of these carts at almost every single antique store you go to.
To organize while I'm cooking I have about a dozen stainless steel bowls and 1/4 pans that I use to prep and store ingredients. I can see everything, and get it prepped before the actual meal so I don't have to juggle prep and cooking at the same time.
One thing I wish I could improve would be to figure out a way to organize about 15 different sized prices of cookware in my cabinet below. I have to disassemble a damn enameled cookware tower just to get to the frying pan on top, and you can't stack the pan on top without it becoming a possible danger/hazard if the tower collapses.
Sounds very interesting - would you provide a photo please?
Excellent! Looks perfect, thanks for sharing.
