Keep Your Measuring Cups Tidy With This Charming Chalkboard Idea - Tasting Table

"You’ve likely got multiple measuring cups and spoons hanging around in your kitchen. There are different ways to measure baking ingredients, requiring cooks to have more than one set on hand. The problem is, this all adds up to a bunch of stuff to figure out how to store. When it comes to the never-ending quest for kitchen organization hacks, fewer items could benefit more than your measuring tools. Otherwise, your assortment of cups and spoons clang around in drawers, get tangled and damaged, or get lost in cabinets or closets."

"Happily, there’s a fun, effective solution: Create a chalkboard inside one of your cabinets. This is an easy, affordable DIY project that makes it effortless to instantly spot the exact spoon or cup you need. It saves space because you’ll be neatly hanging your cups and spoons on that door instead of stashing them in a drawer. It’s also simply aesthetically pleasing and cute."

"You can do this one of two ways. Use something like Borskyn peel-and-stick chalkboard wallpaper or Senven chalkboard paint. If using contact paper, make sure to measure the space inside your cabinet door carefully. Then, glue on a thin piece of wood trim horizontally and install the hooks by nailing or screwing them in. Or, use adhesive wire hooks and stick them directly to the door. Label each hook with chalk - ⅓ cup, 1 tablespoon, etc. - and hang the tools accordingly."

"You'll love opening your cabinet door to see your measuring cups and spoons neatly hung individually in rows, clearly labeled for their sizes. It makes cooking and baking that much more fun and will even shave time off those tasks because you'll never be hunting for the right tool again. Be sure to pick a cabinet door that's right within reach of where you do"

Multiple measuring cups and spoons create storage and organization problems, including clutter, tangling, damage, and missing tools. A practical solution is to add a chalkboard surface inside a cabinet so each cup or spoon can be hung visibly and labeled by size. The chalkboard can be made using peel-and-stick chalkboard wallpaper or chalkboard paint. Hooks can be installed by attaching wood trim and nailing or screwing hooks in, or by using adhesive wire hooks stuck directly to the door. Label each hook with chalk measurements such as ⅓ cup or 1 tablespoon, then hang the matching tools for faster, easier measuring.
