I wanted a lot of drawers in our new kitchen. I put the most often used spices in a drawer right next to the stove. DH cut strips of wood, 3/4" by 3/4", the width of the drawer. I put the first row of spices in with the caps resting on a board. Next row holds a bunch of bullion jars (I make my own spice blends like taco seasoning, etc), then the next row is more spices, and so on until the drawer was full. Now everything is corralled, easy to see what's what and easy to grab to use.
The rest of my spices and stuff that was too big is still in a cupboard, but I love the drawer.
