I believe that organized cupboards will inspire you to prepare a meal. There is nothing more disturbing to me then to try and make a meal and you cant find the ingredients you need or they are in bags tied up with elastics and not labeled, stale spices etc. I guess because I am a professional home stager and decorator its in my blood to be organized but I also love to cook and I have always found it more rewarding to make my meals by the prep work or in French "mise on place".
I love to use mason jars or jars and smaller sized clear jars I purchased from the dollar store. wash and dry then label them. I used chalk board vinyl re positional paper that I purchased at Chapters in 9" x 12" sheets and I cut into size I needed. The chalk easily rubs off for changing contents name.
First thing to do is empty your cabinet and wipe clean. Check all expiry dates and throw out everything that's bad or you dont use. Fill up your jars and neatly organize them on shelves. Use wire racks to elevate the jars so you can easily see whats behind at a glance.
In pantry you can use original packaging but make sure you face the labels in the front so you can see everything and group like things together so its easy to pinpoint things.
You will be proud to open you cupboards an show them off. Try one and I believe it will inspire you to do them all.
Happy Spring cleaning!
