Hi DIYers....
Anybody happen to have plans for spice racks - the kind you hang on a wall?
I am an avid cook, and have two cupboards full of spices. In my kitchen redesign, I was planning on building recessed areas between studs in the wall next to the stove - to hold single file spices (only about 3" deep insets or so). Come to find out, that wall is a load bearing wall, and the wooden studs are set about 6" apart. NOT a lot of room between studs.
So... opinions please. I think it would look rather 'off' to create recessed areas that are only 5" wide, by say... 30" high... to hold the spices. Long, narrow.. It would look like the arrow slits made for defense in old castle walls!
Should I just make some hanging spice racks for the space? If so, who's got some plans for colonial but not country looks? Anyone? Alternatively, a website for a company that makes em???
Thanks!
