I am queen of seeing projects on other blogs and thinking, “Oh my gosh, I HAVE to do that!” and then 2 years later it still isn’t done yet (story of my life). And Pinterest hasn’t made that any easier. But this time I finalllllllly did something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I created a system for Organizing Measuring Cups and Spoons Inside A Kitchen Cabinet!
I first saw the idea on Infarrantly Creative, Beckie did a very cool version of this and I have wanted to do it ever since. I thought this would be the perfect time since we are in the middle of giving our teeny tiny kitchen a facelift and we need all of the organizing help we can get!
I followed Beckie’s tutorial of using the extra long paint sticks, they are free and they are the perfect size for fitting in the notch of the cabinet. The only change I made, was that I used wood glue to adhere them to the cabinet so they would fit flush inside the cabinet, versus screwing them onto the siding.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out my vinyl labels. I used black vinyl and Arial Black font. In fact, Silhouette is having a huge sale on vinyl right now, you can get buy 1 get one free using the Code DIAPER and the link here.
My husband and I are so excited about this! It really helps to keep things organized and to make our measuring cups easily accessible.

I love this Taryn and I agree about using wood glue instead of drilling it! looks so organized, how great it must to have this in the kitchen, everything is so handy! :-)
Terrific! I’ve been planning to do the same project (saw it on Pinterest). I am always misplacing my measuring spoons and cups, so this would help me stay more organized! I love how you organized your spots for the spoons and cups.
Thanks for the mention Taryn, yours looks great. I still love mine!
Taryn,
I love this and must try it…once I get around to it. (Story of my life too!) :-)
