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.
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.
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.
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. ❤
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.
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 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!
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
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. 😁
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.
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.
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 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘🐎🐎🍒🍒🍒🍰☕️
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.
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!
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.
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. ❤❤❤
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 my spices in a drawer , I can pull them out and see them easily. Alternatively they have pull out shelves for cabinets that drop down. You could also hang things like gloves and oven mitts on the doors of your pantry. My pantry has a pocket door so I lack the extra space.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You need to pick one place to put your cleaning supplies, you should never store liquid cleaning supplies with food items. You should have a designated cupboard for only cleaning supplies and always store the liquids on the bottom shelves. That's from a safety standpoint
some things cant really expire unless you hold them extremely long or in wrong environment like dry pasta or cans then its about what is inside thing that contain nuts or fats will go rancid
I think Matt chose the right spot for the spices. Get yourself two double-decker lazy susans.

Matt has the right idea. The top cabinet and the drawer below it will be the perfect place.
I have to agree with Matt about where to put the spices. Close to the fridge and easy to access while cooking.
They have a spice rack that is like a step and accordion so you can lower the spices to slide down and out.

I agree with Matt😊 I have mine on 2 small Rubbermaid turntables in alphabetical order🤣
Matt’s right in my mind it seems like a perfect cupboard
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!
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
Get the magnetic little containers and put your spices on the left side of the refrigerator. I love mine there, so handy!

Great.... now I have to do my pantry.
Big improvement on the pantry!
Matt has the right idea for the spices. You could lay them down so the lids face you.
Loooved watching this. Well done!! 👏👏
That's great job on this God bless you 🙏❤️ and your mom
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.
So glad you moved that shelf, it was affecting my ocd xx
ive always kept my spices in an upper cabinet near the stove. i think matt chose the right place
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

I love a good pantry organization! 💖
The pantry looks amazing, I’m sure your mom was very grateful.❤
I bought the same storage containers from Amazon. I love them. 🙂
You could get one of those magnetic storage containers, that attach to the side of your refrigerator. 🙂🙋♀️

YOU ROCK!

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

Just write the date on the back with a non permanent sharpie. 🌹

I,love the pantry- I bought 5he same containers (the 24 pack) and I love them too
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.
I enjoyed the video, just wish I had a pantry
Great job
Turned out great
Matt is right spices go in cupboard right of the stove for easy access while cooking.
Приятно смотреть как вы с мамой организовали все
You can use standing file holders for your foil and other wraps as a holder for them
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.
The drawer would be perfect
I think the cabinet is the best place for the spices
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
Great job!!❤😊
I'm with Matt, cabinet next to stove. I have two slide out spice organizers so nothing can get lost or inaccessible in back
You have roommates over those jars for hanging shelf basket. You can lay spices with cap facing out and quickly grab what you need
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.
Beautiful job 🎉❤
Awesome video.

thats so cool! i didnt know they made magnetic shelves! i totally want to try that!
Looks awesome! 😍💖
I agree with Matt
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.
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.
Make a spice wall on the pantry door. Also the door latch should be adjustable to make it a little easier to open/close
Great job Gabbi ❤
Great videos! Try hanging your spices on your inside pantry doors.
You can use hanging racks on the inside of the doors in the pantry for spices (or even other stuff) xx
Except you won't be able to close the doors unless you empty the front of the shelves.
We put ours on the inside of the pantry door. We hung a rack and lined them up on that.
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.
How do you know when things have expired now they are not in the packaging? ❤
Have you considered putting spice racks on the inside of your pantry doors? I am looking forward to seeing your next video.
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
How about the cabinet where u have ur mittens in get one of the Amazon rack for spices
Spices hung up on the inside of pantry doors. Fix the doors so they are easy to open & close xx
Do you have room on the inside of the pantry doors?
I would choose to have spices by the stove where you said Matt wants it.
Put spices on rear of pantry door, they won’t be too heavy and you can re-label on side of containers
Back of the pantry doors. They make shelves for that exact application.
Check the Jif and make sure it wasn’t recalled. Good job.
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.
Do what's best for you and how you cook, organize, and why makes you comfortable.
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.
I prefer my spices by the stove. I have my baking spices by my mixer.
Place them on their side in the narrow cabinet so the lids point toward you.
A magnetic spice rack for the fridge
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.
For sure put the spices by the stove.
Easy access is by the stove and cooking counter.
You look adorable
Close to the stove where they are needed and easily accessable
Lol you just mentioned it 😂😂
You need to pick one place to put your cleaning supplies, you should never store liquid cleaning supplies with food items. You should have a designated cupboard for only cleaning supplies and always store the liquids on the bottom shelves. That's from a safety standpoint
Make a fitted spice rack on the inside of the pantry’s doors.
Sorry… spoke too soon…
Okay what about knowing what the expiration dates are on the food in the containers?
some things cant really expire unless you hold them extremely long or in wrong environment like dry pasta or cans then its about what is inside thing that contain nuts or fats will go rancid
Where are containers from ?
Are you putting the directions on the bottom of the container?
Spice DRAWER!
