3 things I need help with
1. I have a lot of bulk medicinal herbs. I tailor make infusions when we get sick so I have about 8 bulk medicinal herbs each one in a jar just smaller than a quart sized mason jar.
For now, I just threw them in a large basket with all of our "sick vitamins" (things we take when ill but not daily) that sit on top of my cabinets. I am uncertain what to do with them.
2. daily vitamins - they are also in a basket above the counters. I am starting to want to have a better system for this. I don't know if its because I cook SO SO much but my kitchen really isn't that disorganized but I have very little space and a good sized kitchen with a lot of cabinets
3. NOt sure what to do with a really deep/narrow ktichen cabinet. It tends to become cluttered and not very usable. I keep thinking maybe I need to find odd sized containers that fit the shelves? and put the vitamins and herbs here and just pull the countainers out when I need them? ANy other thoughts. RIght now (there are 6 shelves). The top is my aluminum foil, press n seal, parchment paper, etc. I actually rarely use these so it gets very cluttered. Next shelf has fry cutter, peeler/corer/slicer,. Shelf 3 has teas and tea pots. Shelf 4 is currently empty (emptied it yesterday). SHelf 5 holds potatoes, shelf 6 hold onions.
Okay I have another question now
WHere would I find a variety of sizes of containers because now that I typed if I am enjoying the concept of putting bins in there but I'd like them to be long enough to fit all the way to the back to use the space decently.
Thanks in advance!
