On Good Eats he uses velcro (I’m an Alton Brown fanatic, have them all on DVD!). I found a source for these same tins, and they are cheaper and you can buy them in any amount you want. I just bought one each of various size to see which ones I want to use. The site is Specialty Bottle, and they have tins, cans, bottles, etc. These tins can be found here: http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=25

I am going to buy self-stick magnetic sheeting to stick to the inside of my pantry door and stick the cans to that.

Love it love it love it. I’m a little bit lazier than you, so I just throw my store-bought spices in a SpiceStack spice rack (www.SpiceStack.com). This might be a better option for those that don’t have the energy/time/focus for your project. Kudos to you though, I’m impressed.

This is all kinds of awesome. I love my label maker too. Most people don’t understand the love I have for it, but finally I’ve found someone who has the same heart. Organize on!

PS I alphabetized my spices when we re-did our kitchen and it has changed my life … I highly recommend it! (Now I need to get some of those cute (and uniform) containers.)

At first I thought organization and labeling would be too much work for me, but your spices now look like they came out of a magazine. That’s so worth it.

Lee Valley sells something similar, although more expensive, with a clear acrylic lid. http://www.leevalley.com . I have been eyeing them for years, but the sheer volume of space required to house all of my spices in those jars just does not exist in my kitchen! The next house will, I swear…

Oohh! As a librarian I have to say that I am totally impressed with your organizational skillz.

My spice cupboard is a total mess. No matter how you try to organize things it just doesn’t work with all the different size containers and whatnot. So did all your spices fit in those containers? I may just have to get some.
