Kitchen Organization – Measuring Cups

Hey Friends! 

I have finally completed a project that I have wanted to do for two years!

I knew I wanted to do this project when I saw my friend Beckie from Infarrantly Creative do hers.  Her’s is much nicer, but I like the way mine turned out.  It works for me!  :)  Click HERE to see Beckie’s project.

Before I completed this project, I had been storing my measuring cups in a plastic container in my Lazy Susan.

And the cabinet to the left of my stove and microwave looked like this…

This is the perfect spot for me to hang my measuring cups because it is right by my stove.  So I went to Lowes and bought a 3/8 inch thick and 3 inch wide piece of wood.

I cut it the length I needed with my Dremel Saw Max (awesome tool!)

Then I put some Gorilla glue on the back of the board and put it on my cabinet door.

I had to make sure it was level.

Then I just taped it in place to dry.

Then I painted the inside of the cabinet door black with Chalkboard paint from Lowes, and added these hooks…

I couldn’t find my 1/2 measuring cup, so I had to use two of the same for my picture.  :)

I put it in a frame and then added Gorilla glue to the frame so it would stick to the door.DSC_0238

 I reorganized my shelves and put my measuring cups and mixing bowls in this cabinet for easy reach.  Soooooo much better!
