Knock-Off Dean & Deluca Spice Rack
By DIY Maven
You know that seriously awesome Dean & Deluca, $150 spice rack? Well, Melinda decided to make a knock off and for a fraction of the cost, I'm guessing.

Use your spices, and use them well. (Volume I)
By ChrisjobSpices are the dried seeds, fruits, or berries of plants and vegetables. [Dried herbs are the dried leaves, stems, or flowers of plants-and are rediculously inferior to their fresh counterparts.] So, throw away your 30-year-old rusty jar of nutmeg, and embrace the flavors of the world. There’s good reason the explorers of the late Middle Ages traveled the world, and started wars, for this stuff.
