Lovely kraft paper labels to add some vintage style.
I used to store my spices in small round tins with vintage labels. That worked for a while, but at some point I decided I wanted glass jars. Searching high and low in the Internet, I finally found the ones I wanted at a lab supply warehouse. As I was jumping around their website, I came across amber etched stopper bottles and decided they would be great as vessels to hold and preserve my extracts.
Using a mixture of old apothecary jars, vintage squat jelly jars, new amber jars, larger tins and clear, straight sided jars, I was able to store each kind of item conveniently along with adding visual interest that variety brings.
I built the shelves for these items to fit the space. The spice shelf was built to be inset in a window that is permanently sealed shut that is in exactly the right spot to be able to grab and go anywhere in the kitchen.
I hope you find some inspiration.
