Kitchen cabinet organization using Rubbermaid storage containers

I am obsessed with Rubbermaid storage containers.  Especially in my kitchen cabinets.  I absolutely love how my cabinets look and I no longer have storage containers on my counters.  Here's a peak:
The tallest containers are made to hold five pounds of flour and the next size holds five pounds of sugar.
I like to bake so I have a variety of flours.  This can be confusing as many of them look a lot alike. I labeled them to distinguish each.  I continued the labeling with the sugars.  I liked how all my labels were lined up along the bottom.
To the left of my sugars and flours, I have legumes.  Black beans, chick peas, pinto beans, split peas, and lentils.  These containers don't have labels since these items are much easier to tell apart.

 The next section has orzo and penne pasta alongside some long grain brown rice.

My cabinet has a bit of a lip on the side so I put the least used item up against this corner.

I prefer the containers that are long and skinny as these utilize the space in the cabinets much more efficiently.  Links below to these items.
