Pantry


Pantry with doors open. Wire shelves on doors, non-adjustable, deep enough to hold extra inventory behind that displayed.


Oven (electric and regular, convection, regular/convection, self-cleaning) and baking tins above. And reflections.


Same view with cabinet doors open


Dishwasher and trash cabinet


Dishwasher open (lots of adjustments possible), trash cabinet open. Two bins of trash containers. One has 13 gal plastic bag for wet, the other a grocery bag for dry.


Large and small sink molded into counter top. Faucet pulls out as shown, fits into socket to act as regular faucet.


Corner base cabinet. Flat cabinet above.


Two lazy susans that hold heavy and/or not often used stuff, like pressure canner, juicer. Counter has breadmaker, coffee maker, toaster, dish drainer. Easy to get at, but the counter there wouldn't be useful for working at.


Same view, but notice the upper cabinet does not turn corner. Stuff in a corner cabinet would not be reachable.

Now we move to opposite wall.

Lower cabinet for plastic container storage. Note 2 pullout shelves. Plastic insert in drawer is cut to fit drawer exactly. Counter space is sacrificed for microwave, since I'm too short to look and stir stuff on a microwave mounted under an upper cabinet.


Cabinet above microwave. 3 Adjustable cherry shelves, can be taken out and washed.


Extra sink with water softener attached. Bottle storage in pull out drawer below. Five drawers to left. Can opener and coffee grinder on counter top. Both can be messy; so a sacrifice to clear countertop to make cleaning up easy.


Pot and pan storage in pull out drawers next to the cooktop.


Turntables with ALPHABETIZED herbs and spices


Gas, 6 burner cooktop and angle to counter. Vent on back edge of cooktop raises up and down, vents under the house.


Back view of cook top. Otherwise wasted corner space is ...


Closed storage for SOME of my cook books!


Partial view of ceiling, all in lights
