I made this cabinet 6 months ago after my girlfriend and I moved into our first apartment. We were storing all of our spices in the cabinets of our already tiny kitchen, and they were very inconvenient to access. I wanted the cabinet to have an asian inspired feel to it, and I think I got that. The doors took the longest because I had to cut rectangles in each door one by one. The door panels were painted black though I am always hesistant about painting wood. The rest of the cabinet is heavily coated with red mahogany stain. All of the 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch pieces such as the rails and shelves are aspen, and the frame of the cabinet and doors is pine.

Please ignore the cheap door hinges but that was all that I had left. Despite the cheap hinges, the doors ended up pretty straight and square overall on the frame. We like the little top shelf because it allows quick access to our most heavily used seasonings. The doors are held close with a magnetic catch as the hinges are not spring loaded.

Here is a view from the inside. Each shelf has a strip of quarter inch aspen across the front that protrudes above the shelf surface by about a 1/16th of an inch so that it holds the spice jars better.
