My wife and I are planning a major remodel of our kitchen, including new cabinets and possibly an island.
Over the years, I have heard many people make comments about features they had put in because they thought they would allow more efficient storage, better space management, etc., but that turned out to be such a hassle that they never bothered. I'm specifically thinking about various slide out racks and baskets, special plastic lid holders, lazy susans, and other "space-saving" designs. One of my favorites was the lazy susan that had too small a lip on the shelves and spices would fall off during the rotation and get stuck behind the shelf.
What I'd like to know is, what are some of the cabinet ideas and special features that you have in YOUR kitchens that you really do like and use regularly? What are some things you thought you'd love but now hate?
We want to learn from your experiences so we can make our using our kitchen a truly enjoyable experience.
Thanks,
Steve
