How to Install a Pull Out Spice Rack Organizer

I wanted to revamp my cabinet so that I could fit more things in there. I organized this cabinet in 2014 right after my kitchen remodel and since then it has done well. But, now that the kids are in college, and I thought it was time to revamp this cabinet to streamline it a bit more since there are fewer people I am cooking for in my home. Feel free to see how I installed this two-tier spice organizer and how much room it created on the shelf.

Here is the before picture of the shelf. I was only able to use the shelf for spices and mixes. It worked well for a while, the labels needed adjusting on the pull-out spice organizer, and it looked messy because when I removed the previous labels, it was hard to get the glue off. And, it couldn't fit the taller spice mixes I had, so I had to add them to the other bin.

First, I cleared out the shelf, then decluttered the items I didn't want, and then cut and lined the shelf with a plastic durable liner. I cleaned the shelf before I added the liner.

I took the two largest bottles and placed them next to each other. Then, I took the base of the spice rack organizer and placed it next to the bottle. This told me that the spice rack organizer could be installed at that point. So, I marked the holes on the plastic liner.

I followed the easy instructions to install the base in the cabinet. I removed the base for the organizer and attached it to the cabinet on the marked spots from the last step. Four screws need to be used to attach the base to the cabinet.

I added the spice rack back to the base. It slid right on the tracks very easily. Now, it was time to place the items in ABC order. I pretty much had them in order but needed to adjust a few spices.


Because I had more room now, I decided that I could reorganize the second shelf as well.


I labeled the shelves to make it easier for everyone to remember where things go since things were being moved around in the cabinet.


I have another drawer with frequently used herbs and spices. Here’s the post I wrote about the product I used for this drawer.  HOW TO MAKE A SPICE DRAWER ORGANIZER IN A SMALL SPACE

Here is what the shelf looks like now.

Here is it pulled out. I love it! I am so glad I can place all the items on the spice rack now.


The middle shelf now holds my dip mixes, bread crumbs, and supplies for making our own homemade rubs.
