We keep our vitamins in the kitchen because we take them after we have breakfast. I take 4 - a calcium magnesium supplement, evening primrose oil, a woman's multivitamin supplement and my favourite, vitamin C.
before - this is the mess when I unpacked it all. I returned medicines to the bathroom, put the extras in a separate container and organised the rest for easy use.
after - that green basket holds all the extra boxes. Clicks often has 3 for the price of 2 specials on vitamins and I stock up. In this picture, you can see how easy it is to take down the little green basket, take the vitamins and put it back.
after - this is what it looks like on my corner shelf. The flat plastic container to the left of the front green basket is what I keep in my lunch bag and take to work. There is just enough space for 5 of each for the week.

1. Does this idea work for you?
2. Where do you keep your vitamins and how do you organise them?

Hi! Great organising! I love the green! I organize my family's vitamins & meds on a shelf in my kitchen, too. Only I use a turntable instead of a basket. That way when I look up and don't see what I'm looking for, I just spin it around.

Hi Heather
Thanks for dropping by. A turntable is a great idea!
This is a neat idea (no pun intended) and I am loving the bigger basket. Very fun!
Right now we only have one jar of vitamins that my daughter and I both take (Flinstones chewables in case anyone is wondering how I take the same as a 6 yo. lol) - but I do keep them in the kitchen on the bread shelf of the cupboard where our breakfast and lunch items go. That way if I make toast for breakfast or a sandwich for lunch I am reminded at *some* point of the day to get us each a vitamin! When I was pregnant I used to just set one out on the table at our spots, but when I had my son I broke myself of that habit so that I won't forget to break it when he's crawling and walking!
I like your containers - very cute and cheery.
I also keep vitamins and medicines in a kitchen cabinet. The cabinet was large and I couldn't find the right size basket so I asked my sweetie to build some wooden boxes for it. He did a nice job and the boxes have a dipped front so that it's easy to grab. Each box is for a different type of illness - general cold, allergies, first aid, etc.
I'm a regular follower of your blog. :) Love your ideas!
Great tackle!
We have our vitamins and pills in baskets in a small cabinet above our sink.
We keep our vitamins (and a few staple drugs as well) in the highest kitchen cupboard possible--we have a 2 1/2 year old...
Some of the bottles are so big, because we buy in bulk, it is hard to keep the basket from overflowing at times...
Hi.
I use a breadbox for vitamins and regular medicines. I like that it's got a door that stays closed--this way the visual clutter of the bottles is hidden behind the plain wood exterior of the breadbox.
As I get older, I find that I like clear containers inside opaque containers. That is to say, a clear plastic box (or several) inside a cabinet, wardrobe, pantry, etc. that is opaque. This way the view from the center of the room is very simple and clean.
