I have a kitchen rack - The kitchen rack holds 17 commercial herbs & spices as well a vast array of my own concoctions. The kitchen rack is a huge stainless steel commercial thing with 7 shelves. Everyone who sees it loves it. I have a love hate relationship with it ;) The top is dedicated to canning equipment, pressure cookers, and larger pots. The second has the bulk spices and pots. The third is more spices, wines & sherries I cook with, a wide variety of vinegars and misc. things in jars. The rest of the rack is devoted to homecanned goods except for one small area set aside for the larger containers of oils. I can easily see 75 herb-spice-seasoning combinations in my kitchen without even looking into the freezers. These herbs & spices tend are bought in large containers because I use a lot of them on a regular basis. My own concoctions numbering at 9 are blends I've come up with for marinades, rubs, and dips. An actual spice rack holds another 20 jars. A few other jars containing whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, and bayleaves are also on the kitchen rack. Then I have the spice cupboard from hell! This cupboard is jam packed with commercial herbs, spices, and blend as well as a few homedried packets. I freeze and dry a lot of fresh herbs because I simply can't use them up fast enough during the growing season.
