WFMW: My Spice Drawer


Until last week, my spices took up the top shelf of my (very small) pantry. This was hard for me because I'm very short (4'9") so I'd have to stand on my tip-toes and reach into the dark pantry, hoping to grab the right spice. I think, on average, I pulled out about 8 spices before I picked the right one! Not only was this frustrating because the spices were unorganized, it wasted valuable time in the kitchen. So I came up with a solution. I arranged the spices in one of my kitchen drawers. This is so much easier! The spices are all there, where I can see them at first glance, they are in alphabetical order so I don't have to search and search for the right one.
It works for me...beautifully!

This is a great idea! I wish I had more drawers.

I wish I had an extra drawer to do this, too! I'm only 5'2" tall myself, and I'm also one to knock down half the spices before I find the sage or the oregano.
In my next home...I plan to specify a drawer for my spices. It's a great idea!
