I think Matt chose the right spot for the spices. Get yourself two double-decker lazy susans. Put the cooking spices on a lazy susan on the bottom shelf and the baking spices (which tend to be used less often) on a lazy susan on the middle shelf. You may need to raise the middle shelf so the bottles fit. Leave the top shelf empty or put taller bottles up there. Turn the labels toward the outside of the lazy susan and store them in roughly alphabetical order, and you will be able to locate them easily.

The cabinet that your husband picked out or the drawer under that with the oven mitts would be perfect places for your spices. I mostly use spices when I’m cooking on the stovetop or when I’m prepping something to bake in the oven, so nearest to the stove/oven make the most sense.

Matt has the right idea. The top cabinet and the drawer below it will be the perfect place.

Spices are more accessible and ready to use next to the stove, either the cabinet where your husband wants or even the drawer with the oven mitts. Maybe even both since you have quite a few spices. You can always try there and if it doesn’t work move them back. 😊 Your Moms pantry looks so nice, I bet she appreciates you helping her to get it at a place where it’s much more useable and accessible. ❤

Pantry looks amazing. The only thing is I cut the expiry dates of the packages and tapes them on the bottom. Sometimes I have to do the same for the cooking times on the noodles. And my rice is also labeled because I buy different kinds of rice all the time. Aside from that it was a gorgeous looking pantry. Your baby is so pretty. As far as your spices your husband is right they belong right by the stove.

I like spices close to hand. So, to the right of the stove is a great, logical spot for them. I have mine to the right and left of my stove. Cabinet doors open away from the stove on both sides and I keep most used on one side and then less used on other side. Lazy Suzan’s on second shelf on both sides. One for vinegars and the other for oils. It would make me crazy to have to get them from the pantry. You did a great job on your moms pantry. All three of you ladies look so beautiful together too.

Matt’s right in my mind it seems like a perfect cupboard

He chose the perfect spot for the spices - right next to the stove where you use them, and I like the lazy susans. It’s what we did with ours and it works really well. Also, keep your cook happy girl!😅😂🤣

I don't know what it is about your videos, but they are seriously addictive! You're a very hard worker!

Never seen that thing that holds the paper towels before. Neat!

I would put spices to the right of the stove due to how the cabinet opens. I want them close by and easy to grab. I use a stair spice rack and keep the original packaging

I would highly recommend the spice drawer, with the small clear spice jars that you have. I would put the larger spices, as well as cooking oils, on lazy susans, in the cabinet that your husband wants, with the spice drawer right under them. I find this very easy to find what I need!

I suggest you move the dishes to the upper cabinet to the left of your sink and put your spices (on a lazy Susan), cooking oil, flour etc. on the lower two shelves. Add least used appliances above that. Move the vodka to the top shelf in the pantry and cleaning supplies where the vodka is. Great video!

Get the magnetic little containers and put your spices on the left side of the refrigerator. I love mine there, so handy!

I have to agree with Matt about where to put the spices. Close to the fridge and easy to access while cooking.

Ok; I would make a nice spice drawer where the oven mittens are but you also need a lazy susan on the lower shelf of Matt´s preferred cabinet. If needed; some nice looking magnet thing on the fridge. That way you have a nice spice area on the right hand of the stove, a little spice hub.

There's actually an over the door spice rack that I got on Amazon. I have one on my pantry door and makes it easier to get when I'm cooking. It saves the pantry counter space and also the space in the cabinets next to the stove. 😁

As a shorter person of 5ft 4inches, no matter where I lived, I put the spices in the cupboards above the stove and I do have to go on my tippy toes, but it helps that I have two double layer Lazy Susan’s to spin the spices around to reach the one I need. The cupboards above the stove are wider and are able to house the double layer Lazy Susan, whereas, the cupboard to the right may be too narrow and not high enough. You could keep more commonly used spices to the right of the stove cupboard, which are probably just a handful and also your oils. I wish I had a large drawer to the left of the stove where you have your utensils, because I would definitely put my spices there. I keep all of my cooking utensils in a large ceramic crockery type container on the counter right next to the stove to use as I’m cooking. Smaller items, such as, can opener, peeler, corn cob holders, rubber spatulas, etc… could go in a narrower drawer wherever you have room in your kitchen. It was suggested somewhere, that the person who does the most cooking, gets to decide where things go, Lol. ❤❤❤

If you have a Dollar tree nearby you can get a lot of storage containers inexpensively there. I use a lot of storage containers for things that we use all the time. For other supplies that aren't used as often I put the package in the container leaving the expiration codes on them.

You could get one of those magnetic storage containers, that attach to the side of your refrigerator. 🙂🙋‍♀️

I was told by my dad who did a lot of baking and cooking that u shouldn’t store ur spices near the stove cuz the heat can make the spices lose their strength. I organized my daughters mother in laws pantry. We threw stuff away dated back to 2013. This was done about 5 months ago.

Some wire magazine/file holders on that side wall in front of the shelves would organize the rolls of foil, wrap, baggies. It would clear a lot of shelf space.

I agree with Matt😊 I have mine on 2 small Rubbermaid turntables in alphabetical order🤣

ive always kept my spices in an upper cabinet near the stove. i think matt chose the right place

Great.... now I have to do my pantry.

Loooved watching this. Well done!! 👏👏

That's great job on this God bless you 🙏❤️ and your mom

I agree with Matt, and use a lazy susan for the spice bottles. Baking spices could be put in a clear bin, and used like a drawer for higher shelves or in the pantry. Your mom's pantry looks great. My only suggestion is to use lazy susans in the corners for small, round items (hot sauces, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, etc). That keeps things from piling up in front of each other in the corners. Lots of work. Nice job!

So glad you moved that shelf, it was affecting my ocd xx

Do a spice drawer honestly it’s the greatest thing I ever did do the big drawer Condense your utensils to the smaller drawer and maybe hang your oven gloves and reusable bags somewhere else and yes it’s crazy your using up prime space in your pantry on spices

Matt is right spices go in cupboard right of the stove for easy access while cooking.

I bought the same storage containers from Amazon. I love them. 🙂

Killer job Gabbi 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻 YOU ROCK! Big up from Italy

You have roommates over those jars for hanging shelf basket. You can lay spices with cap facing out and quickly grab what you need

That cabinet Mat requested would be ok. You could put the sideways so that you see the labels easily. Consider organizer where each spice bottle has own compartment so taking out and putting back the bottle is easy.

I am late the party here since you showed up in my feed today. I actually keep the spices I use the most next to the stove just like your husband wants. The ones I don't use that often are in the pantry.

You can use standing file holders for your foil and other wraps as a holder for them

Great video! Gives me inspiration and ideas to organize my pantry! My work truck was completely organized and labeled down to the nuts and bolts, but my pantry on the other hand is... chaos... lol.

Big improvement on the pantry! Matt has the right idea for the spices. You could lay them down so the lids face you.

I love a good pantry organization! 💖

I enjoyed the video, just wish I had a pantry

The pantry looks amazing, I’m sure your mom was very grateful.❤

I,love the pantry- I bought 5he same containers (the 24 pack) and I love them too

I think the cabinet is the best place for the spices

Turned out great

Spices hung up on the inside of pantry doors. Fix the doors so they are easy to open & close xx

Sounds like very satisfying results 👏🏻👍🏻😉!

Make a spice wall on the pantry door. Also the door latch should be adjustable to make it a little easier to open/close

I used to go into my friends homes and organize their pantries. Yea, I'm an organizing nut. If you still want to keep the spices in the pantry, how about find a storage thingy? I also agree with the lazy susan idea.

Great job Gabbi ❤

Beautiful job 🎉❤

Приятно смотреть как вы с мамой организовали все

My cabinent situation is similar to yours. I put my spices in a bin in the cabinet next to the microwave like where Matt wants to put them. This allows me to pull the whole lot out and look at it, especially helpful if you ahve them labled on top.

I use the same cabinet that your husband wants for spices and I have those step looking shelves to put my spices on and it works out great. I like the idea of using clear containers for my food but then thought that you now don’t know when they expire.

I have a magnetic shelf on the back of my range and there are also magnetic shelves that will stick to the side of the fridge (both on Amazon). Put the most used on those and the rest inside the upper cabinet. Lazy Susan with sides for the oils/vinegars.

Great job!!❤😊

Looks awesome! 😍💖

Inside your pantry door. That's where I keep many of mine. The rack screws into the door. I slam my door regularly when I'm in a hurry. It doesn't fall off.

The drawer would be perfect

I think Matt's choice is the best spot, You can find spice organizers that are slanted so you can see the tops or install a pull out metal shelf for easy access. Also the turntable idea is good.

Great 👍 video Gabbi !! Loved 🥰 you yr mum and yr daughter. 3 generations 😻😻😻 Liked the pantry clean up I put our glad wrap alfoil and plastic begs in kitchen drawers saves room Lazy Susan for spice 🌶 and I’d put the air fryer on the floor shelf of pantry also the protein big container if yr having it every day Enjoyed this very much Thanks Gabbi Cheers 🥂 Have a good week Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘🐎🐎🍒🍒🍒🍰☕️

Awesome video.

Great job

We put ours on the inside of the pantry door. We hung a rack and lined them up on that.

I agree with Matt

I'm with Matt, cabinet next to stove. I have two slide out spice organizers so nothing can get lost or inaccessible in back

I got racks on the wall. If I can’t see them I won’t use them or replace them. But I had ample wall space with an end cupboard for the wall oven. I have those step shelves but they are useless if the spices got put back facing backwards and any old where. Tbh so are the wall racks if everything is random with labels facing the wall.

It's hilariously funny how you called that nice big pantry a "small space" hahahaha lollllzzzzzzzz

My spices are by my stove and high up. I'm vertically challenged so the spice jars like yours are in tray containers. I just pull out the whole tray to find the spice I need. Since going healthy, I find I use spices very sparingly. So this works.

Great videos! Try hanging your spices on your inside pantry doors.

I think the spices should go in the cupboard that Matt is saying. Especially if he's the one that cooks the most. Or a drawer near that same area if they can stand up.

Do what's best for you and how you cook, organize, and why makes you comfortable.

I would choose to have spices by the stove where you said Matt wants it.

Back of the pantry doors. They make shelves for that exact application.

Put spices on rear of pantry door, they won’t be too heavy and you can re-label on side of containers

I’d leave the spices where they are but I would move the cleaning supplies to another location. Just incase if something falls or leaks it won’t get on the spices.

Check the Jif and make sure it wasn’t recalled. Good job.

Place them on their side in the narrow cabinet so the lids point toward you.

Great content! To spice question...since you said you don't have many, can you put a spice rack or two somewhere under your cabinets, on the backsplash?

Still watching.. you should use the door of the pantry for spices . They sell a rack to put the spices on the inside of the pantry doors.

Have you considered putting spice racks on the inside of your pantry doors? I am looking forward to seeing your next video.

How about the cabinet where u have ur mittens in get one of the Amazon rack for spices

How do you know when things have expired now they are not in the packaging? ❤

Easy access is by the stove and cooking counter.

You can use hanging racks on the inside of the doors in the pantry for spices (or even other stuff) xx

Close to the stove where they are needed and easily accessable

A magnetic spice rack for the fridge

I prefer my spices by the stove. I have my baking spices by my mixer.

In your kitchen, I would put a few more things away that are on the counter. If he cooks, wherever he wants the spices! Lol

For sure put the spices by the stove.

Make a fitted spice rack on the inside of the pantry’s doors.

Do you have room on the inside of the pantry doors?

Lol you just mentioned it 😂😂

On the inside of the pantry door

If you put the spices over your oven, they can start to clumb because of the humidity from cooking. How about a drawer? There are multiple organization shelves for drawers specifically for the spices on the internet.

Since the left door latch is a problem anyway, I would search for a solution that first. And then hang your spices on the doors that stay snug and secure to the door so you don't have to worry about banging around or falling on that sweet little head. :)

Are you putting the directions on the bottom of the container?

Glass, not plastic, is the way to go for food storage 😀.

Okay what about knowing what the expiration dates are on the food in the containers?

Where are containers from ?
