Herbs & Spices Rack (2015)

A coworker of mine had her kitchen renewed. She asked me if I was able to build her some kind of spice rack.

Before I started I needed to know how the rack should look like. She send me a picture with the notes of the measurements and the request to close the back and do something nice with a router, making it look more classy.

I started to make a 3D drawing with the info I had gotten and immediately got to the problem the measurements weren't right. It needed to be deeper; else the herb containers wouldn't fit and it needed to be higher or the lowest ones wouldn't be able to go in and out. The new measurements weren't a problem.
Then I suddenly got the request if I could make a coffee filter holder connected to the rack. I did some drawing of that, but it looked very odd. And on second thought she herself didn't think it was such a good idea to hang those underneath the herbs and spiced (due to spicy coffee)
Instead I came up with the idea to make a holder for the paper kitchen towels.

With everything approved I was able to start.
Everything was made from MDF except the square rods which were pine. 

Everything put together (not glued or screwed yet)

At first she wanted it to be grey and later she decided white would be better. I was happy I hadn't already put everything in a grey primer...
After several coats of white it was finished.
