Good Design #4: Great Spice Cabinet

This is a multi-layered spice cabinet.  The picture does not completely show all the space it contains in such a small area because there is so much.  The left most and right most parts are the outer doors that have many shelves.  The piece of wood in the center is an inner door that swings from the center to look like the shelving just right of it when closed.  Behind the two inner doors that hinge in the middle is another foot of  stationary shelving for even more items.  There is more space on top of the inner doors as you can just see.  My house has a small kitchen, but my roommates and I can jam a whole lot into this one greatly built cabinet.  I had never seen anything like it before moving into my current house.  We also have a normal shelved cabinet that is a pain to deal with in comparison because it does not give the potential of organization as this cabinet does.  This style of cabinet also makes it easy to get to all the objects even ones in the back where a normal cabinet would require you to move things around to get to which messes with organization.  This cabinet is the only organized space in our entire house because it forces us to be.  It is truly a diamond in the rough that is our kitchen.
