One of the things I promised 2nd man was that I would figure out how to turn the kitchen into as much of his dream kitchen as possible. I'm also big on organizing and I figured a new kitchen would have endless possibilities. The first thing I did was check out how best to use the drawers and I had been planning for months while the house was being built.
So, these are the three drawers in the island. I knew exactly what to do here with the top drawer!
Here it is, a blank slate, just ready and waiting for me to work my magic.
I ordered these from Amazon. Link HERE if you are interested. I ended up getting three sets because I needed one more solid row in the back. Of course, they come in various sizes to fit different size drawers.
It also came with jars and labels which was awesome.
I took our most often used spices, one by one, and put them into the new jars (which we will now just refill from whatever plastic/metal container they come in). Then I stuck labels on. Each set comes with 216 pre-made labels covering just about every spice plus some blanks to make your own on a printer.
Behold!
But wait, that's just barely open...
BOOM!
2nd Man has an amazing spice drawer at his fingertips! It is directly behind us when we are at the stove and of course, being on the island, it makes prepping a dish/recipe for cooking super easy. We open the drawer and take out what we need, use it and put it back up.
We could have filled another drawer but these are what we use most and have our overflow and backup in another drawer. 2nd Man was excited!
