STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

[…] Under-Cabinet Spice Storage from Chris Loves […]
Classy! I did something similar with spice jars from the Container Store:
http://house-capades.blogspot.fr/2012/03/seuss-and-coffee-table-elephants.html
(that post is back when I didn’t know how to white balance :) )
The only complaint my husband has is sometimes he has trouble telling apart all the different spices because they’re not labeled…but they look so sleek I’ve been reticent to put on labels! What do you guys do?
So smart!! I love that they are so close to the stove too.
We used the IKEA magnetic spice holders which have worked out really well for us (though they are better for dried herbs than really fine spices)! http://thesweetestdigs.com/2012/01/16/gettin-spicy/
How does he store the ones inside the cabinet? Those always end up messy/cluttered at my house. The every-day spices are easier because you need them enough to keep them pretty. Great idea with the hanging though! We might have to steal that for our next place
Oh that’s an awesome idea! We’re getting ready to (finally) move the rest of our kitchen stuff into our new house this weekend and we’ve been debating where to keep the spices. Might have to try something like this for our most popular ones…
OK, so…
A.Since you said they were his spices I assume that means your hubby loves to cook? I’m jealous already. (I kid of course, but really…PB and honey sandwiches are my man candy’s specialty.)
B. I am in love with the hanging pendants over your bar! Where did you find them?!
Hi Joy. Yes! Chris does all the cooking around here and I feel very lucky and spoiled. Those lights are from West Elm.
That’s a great solution! We have a spice rack on the counter, which is fine because we have plenty of cabinet space. But I wish it was a bit prettier haha.
Loving this idea! Just might have to steal it.
Love this idea! I store all my spices and herbs in labelled mason jars. They take up a whole kitchen drawer. It’s kind of cool to see the flavours your husband uses most often too!
Labeled mason jars–how cool!
We have one of those narrow pull out cabinets that holds our spices. The only ones I keep out are the salt and pepper (for obvious reasons). The drawer is next to the oven though, which has me worried about heat possible destroying the spices, but so far, we haven’t tasted a difference. I would love to have all my spices in matching glass jars like yours… then I would hang them on the wall!
A pull out cabinet is so dreamy!
That’s a great idea!
We too have a large amount of spices, when my husband built a wall to divide the fridge, he made built in shelves to hold all the spices. I have been told to store spices in a dark place to preserve flavor. We had put shutters on as doors, and later cardboard on the inside, so the spices would be in the dark. I would be lost without my spice cupboard! It is only deep enough to stack them along and everything is in alphabetical order.
Wow! You know how to do it! The ones out, he goes through very quickly so I don’t think they have time to lose flavor, or if they do we haven’t noticed.
That’s a great solution.
I have a spice cabinet that hangs on the wall. Makes me feel like a housewife.
Spices are so beautiful – I love when they’re stored like this! My husband is Indian, so I’m trying to learn to cook Indian dishes. They use tons of spices and large amounts of them at that! We recently bought our first house and it has a real-life pantry. Ha! I’m itching to buy tons of glassware and redo my spice storage.
MMmm. Indian food is one of our favorites!
I love this idea.
Could you update this post to include what kinds of spices are in those jars? Thank you, if yes!
Hi Carly! Good suggestion. I added the spices in the caption of the second picture. They are:
Garlic powder
Chipotle chili powder
Smoked paprika
Ancho chili powder
Cumin
Turmeric
genius!
My hubby has a lot of spices too. Love your solution.
I have a similar situation like you with the window in the kitchen. I don’t want to hang open shelving because it’s shorter than your wall. It makes it really difficult to figure out how to run the tile. Still haven’t decided :(
