The See and Store in the kitchen

seestorepop.jpg

My maid comes in twice a month to do my laundry and clean my kitchen, but it's a pretty easy job. My kitchen might be decked out with all kinds of fancy equipment, but I'm almost worthless in front of the stove. I try my hardest, but my cooking is so far from impressive that my girlfriend laughs whenever I mention attempting dinner.

However, this complete lack of talent hasn’t stopped me from decorating the least used room in the house. A cool spice rack is paramount to this effort, and the See & Store magnetic storage system is a prime candidate for kitchen deployment.

The nice kids at MOCHA sent in notice that they've rolled out a new selection of the containers in a few different configurations. A five pod vertical counter stand, a twelve square wall mountable square, and several new colors in the classic wall strip. The See & Store has been around for quite a while, but this is solid design and infinitely handy if you're trying to keep things close and visible. Let's face it, the tiny apartment industry keeps Sweden in business, and the See & Store is a system modular enough to be creatively adapted into any space.

After seeing and falling in lust with a magnetic spice set, I fell out of love at the price. So, problem fixed. I made my own!

48 watchmakers cases and a strip of magnet tape later, I have a wonderful spice set that gets admiring comments from every visitor.

Not as colourful as the MOCHA ones perhaps, but my set of 48 cost less than their set of 5!


Link up a photo! I'm sure that everyone would love to see it.


This stuff's been at The Container Store for ages.


Here's a great thread on the subject of making them yourself from Craftster:
