Spice'n it up with spice jars

Our spices are stored in a shoe box, on the top shelf of our pantry, which happens to be so far over my head I have to get the step ladder to get them down. I want to make a more convenient and definitely more attractive way of storing our spices. I looked on Pinterest for some inspiration, then searched, shopped, and saved for some jars. These are the pictures I used for inspiration.



This is a cheap, green option for spice storage. Baby food jars, lids painted with chalk board paint, and spices written on top. They would fit in most shallow drawers.





I do like this option a lot. The wall is painted with magnetic paint, then chalkboard paint. The coloring of our kitchen wouldn't really jive with having a big black space on the wall. I know you can make chalkboard paint in different colors, but I'm more for the quick and easy for this project. Saved it in Pinterest.




These spice jars found through Pinterest, from To-be-charmed.com are pretty good, but not exactly what I've been imagining.





I like the cork tops on these sweet spice jars. Don't think it would really be the most functional option for our kitchen, but it does look beautiful.
