AW: Built-in Spice Rack

[kaylie]

It's in my thread with @juno, but I wanted to share the finished product with actual spices in it =). H finished it a few weeks ago and I finally got all of the spices into their new bottles!

With bottles:

So cute!! Where'd you get your labels?

Thanks! I got them from this seller on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/MyCrayonsPapeterie

She has a color chart and I asked her if she could make me a sheet of one of her designs in "mint". She gives it to you as an editable PDF and you can print as many sheets as you need.

What did you print them on and how did you adhere it? I think my bottles are a bit smaller, but I wasn't finding much that would work.

I bought full page label paper and a 1.5'' circle hole punch (this one: www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Round-Squeeze-Punch-Large/dp/B000OMZXGU). It was tedious but once I got the hang of it, it wasn't so bad.

That looks absolutely great! What a cool project

[adhdfashion]

So pretty!

[pitterwoo]

Looks absolutely pro. Well done.

[auntie]

So cute.

Did you create the recessed space or was it already there?

[arch01]

Love it!!

I wish we could do something like this-we have the perfect spot but I don't have the tools to do it.

Gorgeous!

[starryfish]

whjere did u buy the bottles?

[unclejesse]

Lurker here, but that looks so great!

[picksthemusic]

That looks awesome! I think I'll have to find a wall to do this. What a great idea!

[raangoli]

That looks so great! I will admit though that the idea of dusting or trying to keep all those bottles clean is overwhelming, but it's so pretty!

Looks cute and I bet it brings character to your kitchen

That is amazing. I always lose my spices to the back of the cabinet since I am so short. I would love to have those at eye level. That looks so good!

[newmomnewjersey]

Love it! So beautiful!

Gorgeous! Can your H come to my house next? H and I have no carpentry skills and it makes me sad face because my Dad does but he doesn't have the health to help us.

I got them here: www.containerandpackaging.com/item/G261

Cost Plus World Market also has some great options, but the apothecary jars they carry were slightly too wide.

that is so organized and looks fantastic!! My DH would be so jealous you have all those spices stocked. We have ...maybe...3?

Confession: I had to buy 12 more spices to make it look fuller . I do a lot of cooking though and like to have everything on hand.

Haha, you have to get in line behind all of my girlfriends who are trying to rent him for the day. My H really isn't naturally handy, he works in finance. When we bought the house he started playing with tools and now he can do a few cool things.

We made it - our coat closet is directly behind. We had to cut out part of one stud and frame it out, but it wasn't very hard. That wall did used to have a phone jack for a land line in it (we don't use a land line), but we moved it up above the spice rack and turned it around so that if the next owners want one, they'll have to open the closet to answer the phone.

I love it! DH and I are currently in spice rack purgatory as the kitchen reno we just did wiped out the old system and we can't figure out something that will work for our 40+ spices. I so wish we had an option like this in the kitchen - alas, it is all exterior walls.

It looks great! Was it you that asked here about those galley rails a long time ago? I've always been wondering what came of that because I loved the idea! Even if it's not you, thanks for posting!

Where did you end up buying the rails?

Yes! This is the project I was asking for. I ended up finding them on buy.com. They weren't cheap, but totally worth it.

That's looks fantastic! Great idea and beautifully done!

[FoxInFiji]

Love it! It's beautiful and practical for everyday use.
