Organizing the Spice Cabinet

Don't we live the exciting life?

This is what we are excited about, after all,
on this fine Saturday morning.

This is what our spice cabinet has looked like for the
last three weeks that we've lived in the condo:
If you'll remember, we built a spice rack at the apartment.
[Have no fear, I'll still be using it here.]

Anyway... we have enough cabinets at this condo to store the
spices in one of them. But, it needed some help
on the organization front.

I checked Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond and the shelves
there were super cheap. But, if you look at the picture above,
that shelf has a big ol' vent running straight through the middle.
As a result, the shelves from the store wouldn't fit.

So, the boy and I got to thinking.
We knew the project didn't need to be overly expensive or involved.

In fact, we [Jacob] already had the wood we could use.
We cut the wood last night but decided it was a little late in
the evening to be hammering nails into it. 
But we got straight to work today.
We ended up with this:
Kind of cute, huh?
And now our spice cabinet looks like this:
Like I said a couple posts ago,
it really is the little things. [Read: the free things in this situation]

Coming soon: Meet Jacob/Andy the lizard.
& hopefully more projects if the budget allows.
