Kat, I bought a couple of simple sliding wire baskets to install in the deep cabinets in the kitchen. See if this works or go to http://www.lowes.com and search for shelf organizers. Mine were different, single epoxy-covered baskets on sliders. Maybe I got them at Home Depot, but I thought it was Lowes. Anyway, they work great and now I don't have to reach in to see what I've forgotten in the back of the cabinet, the entire contents pull forward.

I got a Kitchenaid stand mixer with points from my credit card when I moved into this house and did a lot of work on it. I paid as much as I could with my credit card, paid it off every month, then cashed in the points. I love it, and have accumulated a few attachments. I picked up a rolling chrome utility cart at Sam's Club for about $40 (the kitchen stores have them for over $100) for some of my appliances (bread machine, coffee maker, convection oven, they are moved to a counter top when in use). I would redo my kitchen with an island and take out the L that is where it is. I'd move the utility room (the washer on one side of the pass-through and the washer on the other) and put my freezer in there and a pantry. Make a new utility room further over in the house.

A while back I lucked out to be the first into a kitchen at an estate sale in the neighborhood. I bought the upright Harvest Gold freezer for $30. They had to move stuff out of the way and wanted to empty it, so I arranged with the woman to pick it up that night. The guy (brother of the woman who sold it) told me he could have sold it for a lot more--I was proud of him--he was honorable and resisted the other offers--but I did make it clear just how happy I was to finally be able to afford to have a freezer for all of my garden produce. This jolly yellow giant isn't Energy Star by any means, and it needs to be defrosted one day soon. It lives in a hall right now (when I remodeled the former garage we enclosed the area where a freezer would have gone and put in a second heat pump). Whether it is this freezer or another, it needs to be in a less traveled space.
