Odd Wall becomes beautiful Spice Rack

Last month, my daughter and her husband bought a new-to-them home. The kitchen is small and had an interesting but not-very-useful wall feature. I am impressed with their ability to take their inspiration and create reality so cost effectively and beautifully.

    Love it. The use of dark wood is brilliant! I love the contrast.

    Fantastic! Looks like they're handy and creative, so over time I'm sure the whole house will be beautiful and personalized to them.

    I love useful and beautiful DIY solutions! I'm curious about the original purpose--do they know?

    @mama goose_gw zn6OH, no explanation for the wall. The house is 100 years old and has had very respectful updates. It looks like a cased opening that was closed off when a second bath was added and instead of removing the detail of the casing they left it as a feature. Kind of a neat idea in this really cute and well-built bungalow...and has now become a wonderful feature with a nod to its past.

    As a true Irishman, I cannot imagine using the space for anything but my vast collection of single malts. But, you did a beautiful job. Nicely done.

    Beautiful! My brother's vintage apartment kitchen had a built-in ironing board, board was long gone, so he put in shelves for his spices.

    Those old ironing board alcoves make lovely storage for cups and mugs. In a former house I put the built-in coffeemaker right next to the alcove and had instant storage for coffee in bags and an almost unlimited number of mugs and cups.

    It's the best sort of improvement because it looks like it was meant to be there.

    Johns Creek, I agree, it looks to me like it was a door that got filled in. Nice work on the DIY!
