I finished organizing my mayhem cabinet yesterday! I spent $8.00 (plus tax) and I was able to get all of my supplies at the dollar tree. Read more to find out how I organized my cabinet and see some before and after photos. I started my project with my spices. I don't have the room in my kitchen for a spice rack and I don't really have the room in my cabinet for any of the specialty spice racks. I decided I would use these wire baskets. I can pull them out easily to find the spice I need. While I was working with my spices I decided I needed a list so I would know what I have and need. If you missed my post yesterday click here for the list I use. So next I needed to deal with all the boxes and bags. I bought two containers for the flour and sugar, a two pack of sturdy containers for the other sugars and then a pack of containers for all of my different teas. I simply labeled mine with a marker but you could definitely use labels or whatever you wish. When I took everything out of my cabinet I realized I had bags of chocolate chips and things all over the place. So I just found a small tote to contain all of those in one area. The other thing I found were just random items like soup and dip mixes and I did the same with those. Finally I just had to put the cabinet back together. That is how I took my cabinet from complete mayhem to an organized dream for me! I'm so excited about getting things organized and being able to see what I have and knowing what I need! Not only does it help with not stressing when I open my cabinet but it also saves me money so I am not buying items I already have! Happy Treats!

Your cabinet looks fantastic! I use those containers with the blue lids for my flour and powdered sugar too. They also make a fantastic holder for cupcake papers. I am definitely going to try out a few wire baskets for my spices as well. Thank you for the great tips!

did I mention before, when are you going to fix my mayhem and foolishness?/ What great ideas, the cabinet looks great and I love the spice chart idea, how many of my favorite (Montreal steak) do I really have in the cabinet?
