I’ve never met a soul on the planet that loves organizing as much as I do… then along came Marie Kondo. She is my spirit animal through and through. I love ANYTHING that screams “I’m super organized!” Here are a few relatively inexpensive items I found to make our spice drawer look like a million bucks! I’m sure you could make your own drawer insert if you were really ambitious. I’m not! My husband is but that poor man has a laundry list of things to do to the house so it was worth the $44 for us.
Our spice drawer interior measures 3.25 inches high, 16.5 inches wide, and 20 inches deep.
Spice jars $20 for 12 jars (I ordered 3 packs)
Labels $8+ depending on how many you buy.
Drawer insert $44 (I ordered the small. It also comes in large. These can be cut to size but some of the comments said not to attempt that.)
It wasn’t until after I took all the pictures that I realized the salt was not in alphabetical order! Oh well. We have 7 people who live here. I guess that makes it more realistic anyway.
I keep the extra spices that aren’t often used in the space above the microwave. They are close if I need to refill but not creating clutter or making my frequently used items harder to find.

What size labels did you use? The 1.25 x 2.5?

Hi, have another question, where did you purchase all your spices. I’m done with the drawer just need to purchase spices, wondering if there is a wholesale online. Thanks!

Hi, where did you put your spice drawer in your kitchen. Having a hard time to decide on a place.
admin says
That’s a great question. I cook a lot so I put it next to my stove top. If you bake a lot, I would put it next to your largest counter top area. Hope that helps!

Thank you! That is what I was thinking. I have a good size drawer being used for junk next to our cooktop. I plan to use that area. My drawer is larger but I purchased the small and thinking about putting something on both sides with the spices in the center. Hope it’s how envision! Thank you so much for this blog. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but wanted to turn my faux drawer underneath my cooktop for my spices but I received a lot of caution with that. However I’ve seen it done online a lot.
