Spice Cabinet

November 19, 2014

The holidays are coming up,  which means a lot of baking, and cooking. Are you ready ?   Well,  kitchen  organization has been lacking a little…  Especially  my “baking” cabinet.  It needed a little bit of a facelift. 

Supplies  Used:
  •  (2) 1″x4″  Boards (8′)
  • Primer
  • Paint
  • 1 1/2″  FinishNails
  • Wood Glue
  • Glass Jars
  • Round Stickers
  • Black Primer
  • 1/4″ Paneling

 Tools Suggested

  •  Miter Saw
  • Sander
  • Paint Brushes
  • Nail Gun
  • Compressor

Spice Rack 

Step 1: Prep Boards

Cut boards, sand all the boards.

Cut List:

1″x 4″=
  • (2)    17  1/4″
  • (2)    22  1/2″
  • (3)   21″

Paneling=

  • 18 3/4  x  22 1/2″

Step 2: Assemble Frame

I first applied glue, and then reinforced with 2″ nails.  Make  sure to use a square when constructing the shelf.  Once constructed fill all holes with nail filler,  and then  sand.

Step 3:  Add Shelves

Add shelves using the dimensions depicted in the image below.  For good measure I used wood glue and reinforced with 1 1/2″ finish nails.

Step 4: Attach Backing

Once  the shelf is constructed,  I then applied glue to the back, and then reinforced the paneling with 1/4″ nails.

Step 5: Finish

After the structure is completed, sand, prime and paint! ( I ended up distressing mine.)

Step 6: Add Spices

I used glass tilted jars,  I know you can purchase them at Ikea and Hobby Lobby.  If you have access to baby food jars that would be and awesome/cheaper alternative.

I used  chalkboard stickers  for my jar labels.  When I originally  made this spice organizer,  chalkboard stickers were not readily  available.  If you have trouble locating  chalkboard stickers.  Consider this alternative.

I liked it so much that  I added a  few more modifications.  Next on the agenda ?

 Measuring Spoon Rack

I used a 1×2″ board.  I then  pre-drilled holes.

  I even ended up  adding an extra shelf to the other door.  It is perfect for salt, pepper, and commonly used spices.

So there you have it folks,  an easy fix for the cluttered cupboard!

    I would love to take a walk inside your mind…do you just stare at these things and, poof!, you have a plan? LOL Again thanks, I will be doing some of these projects for sure. May you always continue to have the energy and creativity to do these wonderful projects. You are an inspiration. – – – Maris

Hahah and I have got to say, when you start beefing up the power tool inventory, it becomes a little addictive! Glad to have you as a reader!

    Hi! Thanks for the inspiration. Could you please give a little more info on the cuts and details for the little side shelf you made for the commonly used spices? Thanks and awesome end product!!!

      Thanks so much! I’m sorry I don’t have access to the dimensions right now. I am out of town on vacation! woohoo! It is just a basic box, nothing fancy. Just make sure you secure it to the door at the thickest part of the door, (my cabinet doors have a paneling center and is fairly thin). Sorry, I know that isn’t extremely helpful. Thank you for reading!

    so very impressed….just finished replacing all my spices to organic…never know so many chemicals reside in them. Looking to streamline storage place of same -tried drawer, counter holder, used to have Tupperware holders…none worked well. Yours will be especially efficient, practical and easy to keep neat. TY from a true fan!

    Corey,
    I stumbled upon your site via some link and am so thrilled! The things you do are amazing, I always seem to have great ideas for projects but it takes forever to get them to fruition. You inspire me to get things done! I absolutely loved the Ikea cubby that you turned into a ‘drawer’ unit. Just go to try that.

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
