Adding spice

I have always looked for an elegant way to store my spices. I tried the stacking method with stairs, glass jars and the original containers by alphabetical order. None of these looked nice to me nor was it easy to find what I was looking for.

I found a site that had some really inexpensive food containers with clear tops. I purchased three different size containers: 2oz, 4oz and 8oz. The small 2 oz size was perfect for the small spice containers and the 4oz was perfect for the regular containers. I used the 8oz tins for the spices I use the most, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. I took my trusty label maker and made my own labels for each. I sorted the tins by how often I use them, not alpha order (I think that is over-rated anyway) and then by baking or savory.
