Spice rack

We recently moved into our new home! This is super exciting and exhausting all at the same time.  The last to be packed and first to unpack was our kitchen- my husband and I love to cook which also means lots of cooking supplies, like spices.  As I am unpacking boxes, I quickly realized we had a lot of spices, and I mean a lot of them!  At our old home, we used a small bit of coveted kitchen cabinet space for the spices, but here, we have an actual pantry so we decided that we will put them where they belong.

I have had my Tupperware spice shakers for many years and always store all of the spices in them.  I have also always kept them in the cabinets because I have never had room to put them in the pantry.  When trying to figure out the best way to organize my spices, I quickly realized that due to the unique size, most store-bought spice shaker racks would not suffice.  Thank goodness I have a handy husband who can build stuff.

He took a few of the dimensions and went to town on building.  Because he hates redoing things (and I do not blame him at all) he did a mock up of it on the computer.

After building and painting it was time for a test hang and to make sure everything was just as how we wanted it.  It turned out perfect!  It holds 20 small spice shakers not stacked, 30 tall spice shakers or regular store bought ones, plus holds the frequently used parchment paper and zip lock bags.  No complaints from this wife.
