We have an open shelf with three tiers on the wall next to the stove. I have way too many spices to put them away into a drawer, and we use them daily. Mostly they are similar sized glass jars (Penzey's) but not all and I like having the original labels on the jars. Practicality overrules looks in our kitchen.

My husband used to constantly ask me the same question. So, one day when he did, I asked him to follow me to the garage. When we got there, I pointed to the wall that holds his 50 million screwdrivers. I asked him, which ones of these can we do away with? He hasn't asked me again about my spices. :lol:

We have at least 60 different spices, so my husband built a spice rack for the pantry door, but even that is not big enough.
My DH hates how many spices I have. He just keeps asking me if I need them all. I just stand there and look at him with a blank stare when he says this. I would love to redo my kitchen and have one of these installed in it

Spices I buy just get shoved in the cabinet. Spices I dry myself go in glass jars on the counter.

I grow and dry a lot of my own. I really need to get it better organized, too many different size glass jars.

I saw a pic somewhere where the spice jars are in stainless steel with a clear lid and label. They were on the inside of a cabinet door and below the cabinet on the back splash on a magnetic looking ss board.

I think it's called the Culinarian and it's available on AMAZON.

That is awesome. I often thought about growing some of my own spices.

sage, oregano, thyme, rosemary, mint, marjoram, parsley, cilantro, dill etc.. all grow so lovely in pots if you don't have space outside OR your yard isnt set up for it. I am seriously thinking about investing in a macro grow system for my leafy greens. The last three years e choli has been an issue. I am thinking about getting one of these systems.
