I’ve just got these old art supplies boxes. I think they’ll be great for some of my seeds.
Will take photos of inside when I’ve filled them up.

My seed storage has had a complete overhaul. As when this thread was started they lived 2 doors down, in a different cupboard, in a different shed.
They now look like this.
Tins are now
runner beans & peas.
french beans.
chillies & sweet peppers.
Tomatoes & tunnel veg.
veg.
lettuce, salad bar, microgreens & herbs.
flowers annuals.
flowers perennials.
flowers for cutting.
wildflowers , bee flowers and sow to sell.
Each tin is separated into more categories especially the ammo boxes. Using the very smart home made dividers.

Your seed stores are very organised, SC. The dividers remind me of a wooden 4 drawer unit, that's in the shed (came from an office, I think). It has wooden dividers like yours (not used for seeds though - not sure what's in it actually!).
My seed store has moved since my previous post - its now in the spare bedroom. Most of the seeds are in plastic boxes, tins or video tape boxes. Flowers are in A4 ring binders, in sleeves meant for photos or CDs. They're alphabetical.

All very methodical, both of you. Shame I can't say the same.

My seeds are in tupperware type containers in the greenhouse at the allotment.They are positioned under a part of the greenhouse that actually has glass in it! 
I haven't looked in them for about a month or so, so I have no idea what's there!

I love your home made dividers SC! I need to find a way to store my seeds too, and I'll certainly bear those dividers in mind! I just need to make sure that whatever I use for seeds is mouse/rat proof as there's definitely rodents in the barn.
