DIY Spice Drawers

I've been on a huge DIY kick lately!  Might have to do with the fact I'm switching up my color scheme and am just so excited to be adding some more color to my house!  This weekend I transformed these Fira storage boxes from IKEA:

into this:



It seriously was such a quick project that I forgot to take some "in process" photos!  The drawers above are done except for their poppy labels.  I alphabetized all my spices then made labels for them so I knew where to find my allspice and cumin, as well as my sprinkles and flavorings.  All I did was spray paint the exterior of the drawers a nice dark brown, mod podged the patterned paper onto the drawers, printed my poppy labels, added a little velcro, and voila: labeled, organized spices!





As I get more spices I can easily reprint and velcro new labels on since they're not permanent!  Here they are in their final resting place, complete with their labels.



I just used regular scrapbook paper which was about 1 ½" too short for each drawer so I had to do a little pattern matching, but I bet you couldn't even tell!  The mod podge helped to smooth it out and make it appear seamless!  What are your favorite spices to cook with?  Lately I've been using lots of cumin!
