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.

Organizing my kitchen cabinets

I wanted to share a few things that I have done to help organize my kitchen cabinets.  I watched a video by Home Organizing and got some great ideas from her channel.  Here's a few pictures:

I store these pans vertically which make things easy to find.  I need to buy a second one to put the rest of my cake pans.  Click the link below to see where I bought them.

Here is a larger version of the same vertical storage where I keep my cooling racks, cupcake pans, and a cake pan along with its lid.  Once again the link is below from where I purchased it.

I bought these storage containers which are great!  They are long and thin and are clear.  The container on the far right holds five pounds of sugar.  The second one from the right holds five pounds of flour. Look below for a link to these items.

Something silly I decided to do is put my popcorn in a pitcher.  I make lots of popcorn so it is easy for me to pour the uncooked popcorn into the pan.

Kitchen organizing using Longaberger baskets

I was showing off my kitchen tile clean up, click here if you would like to see it some of it, and someone asked me what kind of baskets I had and what was in them.  Here is a run down of what I have.

This basket holds my napkins and has cute handles so it can be transported easily from the table to the kitchen counter or wherever I might need napkins.

This little tea basket holds my teas and Kool Aid packets.  This makes is so easy to flip through them and pick what I want.

 This is a recipe box and has a little ledge so it can hold the current recipe.  The lid is made of wood and cleans up easily.

Every kitchen needs a box of tissues so why not store them in a basket?  The lid is solid wood. 

This basket holds my utensils and has a plastic liner inside.

This little basket keeps all my envelopes like gravy mixes and other sauces.









Those of you who live in Ohio are probably familiar with Longaberger baskets.  If you would like to learn more about this company, click here.

This is how I have the baskets in my kitchen:

Things are easy to see and it is easy to clean the counter.
