WFMW – Labelling Spice Lids
Yesterday I organized my “lazy susan” cupboard in my kitchen. That post is here. I store my spices on the top shelf as I don’t like to have them out cluttering up my counter and since my lazy susan cupboard is right beside the stove I just keep them there. Anyway after seeing my pictures yesterday The Wooden Porch left me a comment (thank you!) about labeling the top of the spice jars so that when I’m looking down on them in my cupboard I can see what I have and can quickly grad what I need. I loved this idea so I immediately pulled out my P-Touch and went to work. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner but it works brilliantly. I’d have alphabetized them like someone else had suggested but then they wouldn’t be sorted according to their lid color….freak here remember :) So really my WFMW is someone else’s but because it works so well for me I’m sharing it with you…lol.
Here is a picture of the final product:
Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer to view all the WFMW participants!!
I was just over at Rocks and saw what you had put up on her linky and I had to laugh. You wasted no time! My MIL would be very proud of you and I would show her your post, if she knew I blogged. (I still think the internet keeps my blog top-secret and nobody will ever find it.)
Your spice cabinet looks amazing! I’m glad it works for you. :-)
Great idea!
Very clever! I will have to use this.
I like how all the colors are together :) !!
What a great idea! Thanks! I have been trying to keep mine alphabetized, but it just isn’t working for me cause I use some spices way more than others and they need to be in the front!
Great idea! Mine are stored above eye level, but I have them in two places. The ones for baking are alphabetized on a lazy susan in a cabinet with brown sugar, etc., and the flour and such in a cabinet underneath, so I have kind of a baking center in one corner. The others I use for main dishes are alphabetized on a lazy susan in a cabinet neat the stove so they are right there handy when I am making spaghetti or whatever.
That really is a great idea! And I had to giggle about sorting according to lid color – I think I’d prefer lid color to alphabetizing as well…it just looks prettier. :)
Great idea! Thankfully, I have a spice rack built in to one of my kitchen walls so I see the names on the front of each jar of spices.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my WFMW calendar labels post. I do appreciate it!
That is a great idea — and WOW about yesterday’s tackle! My baking cabinet could sure use that!
I need to do this today!!
Lid color sorting. I’d of never thought of that. :v)
I wish I had a lazy susan because you’re so right, it would unclutter the countertop.
Great idea! I really need to do that, I have to pull them all out to find the one I’m looking for. (And I also sort by bottle type/lid color lol)
That is such a great idea, but then I wouldn’t expect anything less from you OH MIGHTY ORGANIZER LOL I just love you, you always give me such neat ideas :)
I do that too!
Here’s my old post about it…

That’s a great idea, Laura! My spices are in a high cupboard, so I end up pulling half of them down when I need something…guess it’s time to re-organize them!
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing this. I’m headed to the kitchen to do the same.
Love this!
I can’t stand my seasoning cupboard because everything is so disporagnized and I can’t seem to FIND anything. Not to mention the 3 bottles of spices that fall out each time I open it. Clearly it’s time for a change. Thanks for the tip!
That is excellant I need to do this…..
i have read you enough to know about you and your love for bins. I never thought to put my spices in a bin. I think my spice cabinet will look so much better thanks to your photo. THanks!
I love the way your lids are by color, I can’t believe I haven’t sorted mine by color yet. I definitely need to label some of mine like that though, thanks for the idea! =)
That is so smart!!
This is such a genius idea that requires minimal effort! Thanks for sharing it.
LOVE it!
Hi! New commenter here… I just had to laugh because the last time I spent an hour or so carefully labelling my spice jar lids (which I kept in a drawer of just the right size) was the night my second child was born. I needed to kill some time at 3am before getting my husband out of bed to drive me to the hospital! Ah, memories!
Love your stuff, very inspirational.
