Spice Cabinet

Spice cabinets are furniture or storage units designed specifically to organize and store herbs and spices. Spice Kitchens, or wok kitchens as they are sometimes called, are secondary kitchens in homes. Newly built custom homes often include a second kitchen as an improvement that gives homeowners a great deal of comfort.
