DIY Saturday



Welcome to another guest post from The Little Medic. Missbliss has been moaning for weeks about her inadequate herb, spice and seed storage so we spent many hours yesterday looking for something which would suffice. Unfortunately we failed to find anything remotely big enough. So began a DIY adventure. I scribbled down some plans (which missbliss doodled over) and we set off to homebase. We managed to find a stash of power tools in the garden which although rather rusted, still just about worked safely. 

Several hours of hard work later I emerged with a rather nifty (if I do say so myself) looking spice rack which is adequately sized to house missbliss burgeoning collection of culinary complications. Missbliss was then forced to label them to confrom with my OCD tendencies (incidentally - those tendencies do not approve of the mismatched containers on the top two shelves which missbliss thinks have character)

Very nice. You did a good job there.

It's great! I'd be proud to own such a spice rack (and will drop not-at-all-subtle hints to my boyfriend at some point). Congratulations MissBliss!

Farrrr nicer than Homer Simpson's attempt, in the episode where he tried to make Marge a spice rack.
It also looks far better than my current arrangement: a random drawer full of herbs, spices, and all kinds of other stuff like Golden Syrup and packet gravy.

That's an impressive spice rack, I think I'm going to have to have a go at one for all our teas, grains, flours and nuts (we've already got a decent spice rack).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to have the jars in order. Do you have to have the labels facing the right way too?
