Spice up your life!

I think I'm in love...with this beautifully organized kitchen! Can you see all the spice jars? Swoon! So wonderfully displayed! 

Recently, we've been using quite a few different spices in our meals. If a recipe calls for a spice I've never heard of, I just head over to the local Henry's Farmers Market and pick them up in bulk. After we've taste-tested and approved said spice, we are ready to incorporate it into more meals. Here lies the dilemma recently: all the bulk spices are purchased in small plastic bags. The bags serve their purpose for a one-time use, but if you want to store the spices in a more organized fashion you are in a bind. 

Until now! With the inspiration from this kitchen I have decided to embark on a DIY project...creating cute spice jars for our new found loves. I was thinking of using mason jars to hold the spices, but I may try to find baby jars or inexpensive jars from a thrift shop (maybe...). Do you have any suggestions?

I hope you'll be encouraged to spice up your life too! I'll be posting an update once I DIM! photos and all :)

with love,
Meg
