Today I tackled a kitchen project that I have been contemplating for a while.
My kitchen is very small…with not a lot of counter space.
I have a ‘baking centre’ tucked into a corner cupboard of my kitchen where I store all of my baking supplies.
But bending into a corner cupboard to get out large containers of flour and sugar often is not fun.
So…. I decided to solve that problem by doing this:
I had some glass canisters from Ikea & Walmart.
First, I emptied & washed them out.
Then I dug these out of my scrapbooking stash of stickers:
And did this:
I made 2 for flour:
And one for sugar:
And now my little ‘baking center’ looks like this:
I was worried that these glass jars would eat up too much counter space.
But I think it works!
It makes these thing so much more accessible.
No more bending into a tight corner cupboard.
And now I’m off to make some cookies!
Share the Love!
Gostei muito das ideias realizadas…
gostei mesmo muito….
You canisters look great now. What a difference the lettering made! Kudos to you for a fun and easy project!
I have the same cannisters for my flour but no labels -great idea!

Great idea with the stickers. I have a bunch of the same jars on my counter for baking ingredients too. I bake cookies for the kids a lot, so it is great having them close at hand. I'm hoping for a KitchenAid Pro mixer one of these days.
Love the jars, and love the lettering. I am hoping when Michaels opens up here this weekend they will have the lettering there. Good job.
GREAT idea Angie! I love that you used stickers. It seems like everyone has been doing this with their silhouette machine. I don't have one so the stickers would be perfect!
Looks great Angie!
I have that cupboard that you were referring to…and I have to twist and bend to get to the supplies…now I need to go and buy some jars!
How cute! I love the stickers you used! And how hilarious that I just did this too! I really like yours!
Love that idea!!
That looks fabulous! What a great idea! Mmmmm….cookies 🙂
Very cute!
Hi there, just found you over at Somewhat simples linky party. I love these canisters! I did mine with chalkboard paint but your's have that cottagie/elegant look. I'm thinking it's time for new canisters haha! Thanks for the great idea!
I changed to a whole foods diet this summer as several of my posts detailed. so I bought glass storage jars for the new seasonings and other suppplies that now stock my pantry. I typed, printed, and cut out my labels, but I really enjoy how you used the scrapbook lettering for your canisters!
The jars look so pretty on your countertop. I love the lettering. I have one of them on my countertop too with flour in it but yours with the letters look so much better….Christine
I love this!! I am always looking at these jars when i go to super store. I think they just add so much to the kitchen. Great idea adding the letters…who'd a thought?!!

Hi Angie!! LOVE your new labels, very very smart and will totally be implementing something like that when I have my 'finished kitchen'.
It was SOOOO nice to meet you in person tonight, I think it made my whole week actually. Hope you have a great weekend~

Angie,
I adore the lettering on your glass canisters! Baking an apple cake this weekend. . .must be the weather! M-m-m- our homes will smell so inviting!
Fondly,
Pat
Loved your idea! I had recently found some cute glass canisters and had also bought some neat letter stickers for a sign to go in my kitchen. Why the heck didn't I think to use those stickers for my canister?!?! Well, thanks to you, I did just that and then I put some on 2 candle holders and a candy dish. The possibilites are endless!! Thank you so much for a simple, yet wonderful idea!!!
It is the picture of divine! If you often do baking anyways, then there is no reason to put them away. Have a lovely weekend, Kellie xx
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
Those are great, the look wonderful and are so useful too!!
Your Office Nook was the most viewed link at the last We're Organized Wednesday. Your canisters look great. I would love for you to join the party again. Hope to see you there.
yeah it works! Beautifully! I love the lettering and the jars and its even practical:)
This is really cute! I love it!
Thanks for joining We're Organized Wednesday again. I love your canisters.
I think they look great!

I think they look great. I have two just like them that I have picked up at Goodwill. They are a great size and look great.
I love the look of those canisters!
I love the way they look. I adore glass. I think it makes everything look pretty.
great idea! looks great!
Very pretty! Love the look. ~Renee @ Shabby, Chic & Charming
Those are so great looking, but they don't seal, do they? I always thought they needed to be airtight, maybe I'm wrong. That is why I have never liked glass canisters. I need to investigate that!
But yours are gorgeous!
Hugs, Cindy
This is a great idea! I'd love it if you'd come link this at my linky party. Every Friday I host Home and Family Friday.
