[ spicing it up ]

ONE THING about being in a small apartment, kitchen storage space is limited. And I needed to find a solution for all the random jars and bags of spices that were jammed onto a shelf and difficult to sort through.

I would have loved an in-drawer spice organizer but I didn't have a spare drawer to devote to it. I also couldn't install a spice rack on the back-splash. hmmm...



While browsing around IKEA {what would I do without that place?}, I came across their Grundtal magnetic spice jars that are designed to adhere to metal rods that you screw into the wall or back-splash.

But, being magnetic, I realized that these would simply stick to the side of the fridge - no need to buy the rods! {I've had a stainless steel fridge for years so I had forgotten about magnets!}


And sure, I could have spent some time creating some fancy labels but instead I went the cheap and cheerful route...

masking tape and a marker!


Nothing fancy but I kind of like the simple look of it. I can add more as I need them and it's easy to see how much of each spice I have on hand. Do you love these as much as I do?
