Spices and herbs add delicious flavour to a dish. If you’re a spice junkie like me, your spice cupboard is likely overflowing and tricky to manage. Thankfully, I’ve found a spice rack that not only keeps things tidy and organized but also hides within a pull-out drawer to make cooking life just a little bit easier.

This four-tier spice rack tray comes in medium (13” wide) and large (expands from 13” to 26”) to accommodate different drawers. I paired it with these simple, uniform jars and these trendy farmhouse labels and voila! Spice jar heaven for under $100. For the amount of time I’ve saved from looking through countless bags of spices, I’d say that is a win.

The jars come with a set of pre-printed labels that don’t look as lovely, but do the job if you’d like to save an additional $20. I went full spice nerd and organized my drawer alphabetically so I could locate my desired flavour enhancer in seconds. The amount of joy organizing my spices brings me is surprising, but the same goes for organizing my kitchen in general.
