Are you looking to get your kitchen more organized this year? Well I’ve got 18 ways to do just that!
I was invited by Hometalk recently to put together a collection of Kitchen Organization ideas. If you’re not familiar with Hometalk, it is the biggest Home & Garden social network on the web. Anyone (not just bloggers) can join (for FREE) and share their makeovers and DIYs, as well as ask home and garden-related questions from the experts as well as folks who have been there like you and me.
Hometalk is full of endless inspiration for just about any project related to home that you can imagine. I’ll warn you though, it’s a bit addictive!
They liked my DIY Spice Cabinet I built a while back and that’s why I was lucky to get this opportunity. However, when they mentioned the cabinet, I really wanted to say, “You mean the awesome spice cabinet that was in my old ugly kitchen?” I really don’t like to look back at those old pictures, so today I’m going to squeeze in a quickie makeover with this great round-up of ideas!
Here is the Spice Cabinet I built to hang on the end of my cabinet:
It’s hanging in my old dark kitchen:
This Summer I painted my kitchen cabinets and gave my kitchen a new fresh feel:
Ah so light. So bright. (Hardwood floors in the works.)
However when I redid my kitchen, I wanted to add a shelf above the window, so down came the genius spice cabinet.
And since I added this fun rolling kitchen cart to the center of my kitchen:
…with a drawer that holds my spices perfectly:
I had no need for my poor spice cabinet. It has been sitting in the corner of my garage sad and lonely ever since.
So this week I pulled it out of the corner, dusted it off, and gave it some love:
Ah so fresh and new. I snapped these pics just before heading out the door to take several things to my booth…
I’m sure someone out there can use one of these! I love it so much more in the cottage white. I tried really hard to find a new home for it, but I have very few walls, so off to the shop it went.
The tutorial for this cabinet can be found here if you want one for your kitchen.
I promised 17 more great kitchen organization ideas and here they are!
I just love some of these ideas like this idea to organize your measuring cups and spoons inside a cabinet:
I also love the idea of open shelving for things you use most often:
Or how about this fun idea for organizing utensils using tin cans:
People are so creative! Head over to my Hometalk Board, Kitchen Organization to see all 18 ideas up close!
Thank you Hometalk for inviting me to pull together this inspiring collection of kitchen organization ideas!

Christy,
I love your organization ideas. My house is badly in need of some organization! You have inspired me.
Christy K. James says
I’m so glad…I need a little push to get things organized myself! XO
Marie@The Interior Frugalista says
Much prettier in white Christy! I need one of these, but longer, in our master bedroom for jewelry storage. Going to pin yours for inspiration.
Christy K. James says
I wish I had painted it lighter to begin with. I never even thought to keep it for jewelry storage. Great idea!:)
Maggie M says
Oh, I LOVE your DIY spice cabinet! Must read the instructions! All of your kitchen organization makes me so jealous, lol. You have done a fabulous job in your kitchen (envy, envy). Please keep up the great work:)
Christy K. James says
Thanks so much, Maggie! That’s one project that I am so glad has been crossed off my to-do list. 🙂
Alicia@ eco friendly homemaking says
I really need to get organized and I agree you have been an inspiration!
Christy K. James says
Thanks, Alicia! I don’t know what it is about January that makes me want to get organized…I’ve spent the last two weeks clearing things out and organizing! 🙂
Heather @ Viral Upcycle says
Hi Christy, I love what you’ve done to the spice rack and your kitchen is amazing. I went and saw your booth this weekend. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get anything, however all of your things were beautiful, professionally done, and great prices! Wish I had a little more grow room in my house. Did I mention all of your stuff is fabulous? Seriously, glad I went and I know I’ll be back.
Christy K. James says
Awesome, Heather! Thanks for stopping by to check it out and for the positive feedback! I am low on small things right now. It’s hard to keep up with them! 😀

Awesome! Thanks so much, Jeanette!! XOXO
Michelle James says
Wow! I love all of these but especially the spice rack. It looked really nice white. I pinned for later. Your white kitchen is beautiful. Love that little island. We have been working on our kitchen too so this gives me some great ideas. Thanks.
Christy K. James says
Thanks, Michelle! I prefer the spice rack white also, and I wish I had a place for it now. Good luck in your kitchen 🙂 XO
Candy Walsh says
Unfortunately, I live in Arkansas and can’t personally visit your gorgeous booth, but I did immediately get on and looked for the spice rack and didn’t see it :(. Has it sold? If not, how much is it? I LOVE it and it’s just what I’m looking for!
Christy K. James says
The spice rack sold almost right away. So sorry!
