There are a million ways you can make use of this excellent storage idea. The most obvious, of course, is to utilize the space for the storage of spices, flour, sugar, etc., AKA the essentials of any kitchen. Another great use would be to turn it into a canned food storage system.

Either way, you'll be able to greatly stretch your food storage capabilities while also utilizing what would have otherwise been wasted space.
