Antique Cabinets for Storage at Home

This antique spice cabinet in Canadian House & Home reminded us of how much we've always wanted something similar in our own home. Something about all of those little individual compartments is very appealing. We've rounded up a few more after the jump...

 
 

The cabinet up top was found in Canadian House & Home.

HAAA! I am reminded of the Friends apothecary table episode.

Plot summary:
Rachel buys an apothecary table from Pottery Barn for the apartment she shares with Phoebe. Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) warns her that Phoebe hates mass-produced products and anything that does not have a history. In order to keep the table Rachel pretends to have bought it at a flea market, so Phoebe will think it is an antique. Eventually, Rachel ends up buying a lot of home decor from Pottery Barn, still lying about where they were all purchased. When Phoebe finds out Rachel has been lying she admits she likes the Pottery Barn furniture and does not want to part with it. Phoebe notices a lamp at Pottery Barn, which is the one thing Rachel hadn't bought, she intentionally coerces Rachel to threaten to move out if she does not buy that lamp.

Regina, fyi . . . Canada's Copyright Act does not include fair use provisions like in the U.S. You may end up in hot water for helping yourself to somebody else's "work," whether or not you credit them.

Ah, cabinets with way too many drawers than I could ever use. How I love you so.
