Here are some things that work for me. Plastic baskets & I do one for baking, the other two for savory recipes. I divide the two by alphabetical breakdown. (A-M, N-Z). I also ordered a case of empty spice jars so they are easy to arrange. Recently I purchased a countertop spice carousel that holds 16 bottles of my most frequently used spices. I think I have the problem licked. Here's another source for spices www.frontiercoop.com. Their spices are always nice & fresh and I know they sell to smaller coops and natural food stores. They carry an organic line of spices, too. I share your frustration with spice storage. Here are some things that work for me. Plastic baskets & I do one for baking, the other two for savory recipes.

I've hated it since I moved into my house. Finally I designed and my husband and I built a spice rack to close it in. I LOVE my spice cabinet. I measured everything that I knew I wanted to put in it so that there would be room for everything. The top shelf I use for baking/sweet spices the next shelf down is for meat etc. The next one down is for frequently used meat spices. The bottom shelf is for sprays, oils and anything else that won't fit on the other shelves. The doors covering the spices we added frosted glass. It looks really elegant. On each side we put shelves for my flour, sugar and coffee canisters. One is also reserved for our phone system. I will try to attach a photo of it. If the photo does not work you could email me and I'll send you a picture of it. Email address is Verue Hughes DeRidder, LA. I had a pass through from the kitchen into my dining room.

Little metal tins, stuck to the inside of the cabinets with velcro. It would free up shelf space, and leave all of your spices in an easy to see (and choose from) place. He marks them on the top with what is in them, and the date so that any that are too old can be replaced. I started doing it with mine, and now I use them more often because I have no problem finding the one I want. I saw this on Good Eats on the food network.
