Today’s Storage Star goes to a lovely lady named Kelsey with a lovely blog called Vanilla Joy. I can’t remember how I stumbled across her blog but when I did I discovered this:
Kelsey’s using just an ordinary spice rack for her….office supplies! Oh how I love creative people! So, so very clever. You can find a list of the items Kelsey keeps in her spice rack here. I can also see this being a great tool for scrapbooking supplies. If anyone out there is currently doing that send me a picture, I live for this stuff!
Well done Kelsey!!

Really great idea! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Pip says
Oh. My. Gosh. *channeling Janis on Friends here*
That is an AWESOME idea!
Right now i use a small basket with funky shot glasses in it to hold everything. That worked great when i had a nice big office and desk, but now i’m reduced to a small cupboard in the kitchen. This would work great in the corner!

Wow! That’s brilliant!
Only drawback is that it doesn’t need labels! LOL! 🙂
What a spectacular idea!
Stephanie says
Love this because it is looks to be child proof. And anything like that must be awesome!!!! My 3 year old can break into anything high or low.
Mikki says
Oh my. What an awesome idea. I’m so glad God created creative people like this.. because I am sooo lacking. LOL
jenn says

Elizabeth says
THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!! I have a gorgeous oak spice rack just like this and I never use it. I prefer the spices in my cupboard. What a perfect use for it!!

While I think this is super clever, I can’t get beyond the fact that when I look at it, all I see is a dead frog in the upper left spice container.
Do I need therapy? Don’t answer that…….

Neat idea! I have also seen this done with the magnetic strip spice racks for beads and such.

The Clutter Control Freak site is talking about using spice racks for other uses, so I commented about your post.

Funny how certain topics are “hot” on any given day!
Caitlin says
Nifty idea! I love the clear containers so you can see exactly what’s in there!
Autumn Dahlia says
That’s brilliant! I’m SO stealing that idea! Probably works for nails and screws for the garage!

This is a great idea to reduce spending on new appliances and reuse the ones staying on a kitchen shelf collecting dust. My husband and I are constantly searching for alternative uses for everyday items and frugal living. When we run out of all our spices, we’ll try this idea out! Thank you!
