Spice rack, new jars & pretty labels!

A while ago Andrew offered our spice rack to his sister.

I know. Sweet guy, eh.

Actually, we haven`t been using our spice rack since we moved here. It`s been packed with the rest of our `extras.` So what did this mean?

I got to make a spice rack.. Yay!

But first, I had to make our old ugly silver spice rack pretty for her..

Out came the spray paint!

After our brainstorming session, we ended up with this for ours...

It ended up more extravagant than expected. Before we were able to get more wood I decided to make some nice little labels...

This project *almost* satisfied my jar obsession.

Made a tiny bag to hold the extra labels

 I then took my wood, some old, some new and cut them in pieces...

And then chipped away at them..

Then it was time for the frame..



And figuring out all the ~puzzle pieces~... truly my favorite part!





I then made sure it was secure (Yeah.. this may have been Andrew`s idea)...

No Paper? No problem. Improvise!

 I then slapped on a couple of shelves... 

 We love it!

Once we`ve moved, this baby will be hanging our kitchen and hooks will be added to the bottom to hold cups. There`s also 2 decorative hooks on each side to hang tea towels, pot holder, etc.

You can never have too many hooks!!

My original plan was to have it stained 2 different shades and distressed a tad.. But le boyfriend won`t let me. I told him I`d ~live with it a bit~ and then decide.

What do you think?
