We've had a lot of reader response to last week's post on spice storage ideas. Reader Sue emailed us with her totally organized, totally maximized spice cupboard — and we think it's great.

I so enjoyed seeing the spice storage solutions you posted on Apartment Therapy today. I love using spices and so regretted I had such little room for them in my tiny remodeled Vermont kitchen.But I found a great solution by realizing I had some depth in my spice cabinet to the right of my stove. So in addition to step shelves, I bought two magnet boards and two dozen food-grade storage tins from a shop on the Web. It doubled my storage space. And the convenience is wonderful.
We really like how she used the insides of the doors as well as the cupboard itself. Smart.

This is smart. It's the best use I've seen for those magnetic spice holders, since it isn't adding any visual clutter into the kitchen... Now i need to reorganize my cupboard/pantry!
Somebody watches Good Eats. Looks just like his spice cabinet!
love that you love old bay! Marylander here : )
Sue what site did you get your containers from? I do see some at Specialty Bottle but not sure what size/style?
