Living in a small space means having to come up with creative storage solutions, so things with a small footprint always catch our eye.
This Spice Tower is a great example. The self-stacking, interlocking spice bottle design is ingenious. Each of the six acrylic bottles is just 3" x 3", and while the set includes removable sifter lids and both pre-printed and blank spice labels, the bottles would work just as well in a home office (paper clips, tacks) or for general storage (pins and needles, screws and nails).
spice racks have to be the dumbest thing in the world. you're supposed to keep spices in a dark cool place. in the light & warmth of a kitchen counter just ruins them & takes up space.
I agree with mg. I also find when you buy spices there is more than will fit in these little containers and so in a small space more 'stuff'. Nice for paper clips.
