2. Organize spices and other dry goods in glass jars.
Using Mason jars or other airtight glass containers—including some that stack—will help mitigate the mess of cardboard boxes and bags in your pantry.  Glass jars create a more cohesive look that feels instantly more organized while allowing you to see exactly how much of a dry good remains. Chalkboard labels are helpful in that they can be erased and rewritten as needed. While you’re at it, toss out any expired or stale dry goods you haven’t used in the last year.
